Sculptra Aesthetic
Sculptra Aesthetic is an injectable non-filler for the face. It is a long lasting facial injectable and works by helping the body replace lost collagen. Sculptra Aesthetic is made from poly-L-lactic acid. It works deep in the dermis and targets the underlying cause of facial aging by replacing lost collagen. Physicians have used this biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material for decades. Sculptra Aesthetic is classified as a collagen stimulator and not a filler. The results are gradual, long lasting, that can last for more than 2 years. It helps correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles, and folds.
