Sculptra® Aesthetic is a FDA-approved, dermal injection that helps stimulate the bodies natural process to produce collagen. Collagen can be lost due to aging or other factors. The material used to help replace the lost collagen is poly-L-lactic acid, which is a biocompatible substance that is also used in dissolvable stitches. The body gradually begins to create more collagen over the course of a few weeks and continues for up to 5 months. This results in a more youthful, voluminous, firm, and smooth look that begins to appear gradually over this period of time.
