Sculptra
Sculptra: Collagen Stimulation for Face and Body
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that works beneath the surface to replace lost collagen, the essential protein that gives skin its firmness and structure. Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra gradually stimulates your body’s own collagen production, resulting in natural, long-lasting improvement.
It is a versatile treatment designed to smooth wrinkles, restore youthful contours in the face, and enhance areas such as the buttocks or hip dips for subtle body shaping. With a series of treatments, Sculptra delivers results that continue to improve over time, giving you a refreshed and balanced appearance.
