Sculptra®Collagen Stimulator
A long-lasting injectable that helps regenerate your skin’s own natural collagen and elastin for results that can last up to 2 years.
Overview
A Long-Lasting Solution to Help Improve Facial Skin Quality
95% of patients (clinical trial participants) had improved skin glow 2 years after Sculptra treatment, when injected into the cheek region.
Sculptra is intended for use in people with healthy immune systems as a one-time treatment regimen of up to 4 injection sessions that are scheduled about 3 to 4 weeks apart. Sculptra is for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies, fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek region, and other facial wrinkles.
The Science
Collagen & Elastin Loss with Age
When it comes to our skin, both collagen and elastin play important roles in keeping our skin looking youthful. Loss of collagen causes the structure beneath the skin’s surface to weaken, creating lines, wrinkles, and volume loss.
Elastin is another important naturally occurring protein that helps skin stretch and bounce back to its original shape. As our skin loses elastin, we’re more prone to wrinkles and sagging.
By Age 40
Up to 20% collagen loss
By Age 50
Up to 30% collagen loss
By Age 60
Up to 40% collagen loss
We lose about 1% of collagen per year after age 20
The Difference
Not Another Filler
Sculptra® works differently than traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that work to fill in lines, wrinkles, and folds. Sculptra helps regenerate the skin’s own natural collagen and elastin production, gradually restoring a more youthful-looking appearance.
