Wrinkles are partly a surface issue and partly a support issue. As collagen declines, skin loses the structure that keeps it smooth. Sculptra® addresses wrinkles by rebuilding that structure.
How Sculptra® treats wrinkles
Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates your body to produce new collagen. As collagen rebuilds, skin becomes firmer and folds such as smile lines and marionette lines soften.
Which lines respond best
- Deep smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Lines related to volume loss in the cheeks
- Creases near the chin and jawline
- Overall crepey or thinning skin
Lines caused mainly by muscle movement, like frown lines, respond better to wrinkle relaxers.
A non-surgical, gradual approach
Sculptra® is injected in a series of sessions, usually two to three, about six weeks apart. Because results develop as your body builds collagen, the improvement looks natural and builds over several months.
How long results last
After a full series, many patients enjoy results for two years or more. Occasional maintenance sessions help keep skin firm.
Aftercare matters
Massaging the treated areas for several days afterward helps distribute the product evenly. Your provider will show you how.
