Sculptra

Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic acid)

 

Wrinkles, reduced hydration, thin skin, loss of fat and bone and reduced cell turn over are all hallmarks of aging skin. These can combine to give a tired, sad or angry look which are not aesthetically pleasing. Sculptra offers the ability to restore lost volume through a global approach to face and body restoration to progressively restore volume all over. It is biocompatible, biodegradable and has low allergenic potential. It is a biostimulatory agent that promotes collagen production and tissue remodelling to produce a natural, gradual thickening and tightening of the skin. It is broken down in the body after 6-24 months, but the results last over 2 years.
