Gravity and natural aging take their toll on your skin. You might start to notice sagging, volume loss, and the development of lines and wrinkles with each passing year. Eventually, your neck and chest may also show signs of sagging and wrinkles. However, there is hope of restoring a more youthful appearance. Sculptra is an injectable liquid made of Poly-L-Lactic Acid. The Poly-L-Lactic Acid solution is a synthetic form of natural lactic acid which your body usually produces after you exercise. Sculptra is FDA-approved and contains no human DNA or animal-by-products.
As you age, your body starts to produce less collagen and elastin which causes volume loss and leads to the development of wrinkles. Sculptra is a bio-activator that stimulates the skin’s collagen production. In time, your skin starts to naturally develop the lost volume of your youth. As the injected Poly-L-Lactic Acid dissipates your skin’s own tissue forms to create a younger appearance. Unlike dermal fillers, the results of Sculptra are not immediate. They can take from four to six months before you see noticeable changes. However, the results are long-lasting and natural.
Sculptra is not just for
individuals who have suffered collagen loss from aging. In fact, a variety of
life events such as a prolonged illness or weight loss can create a
hollow-cheeked appearance in individuals as young as their twenties. Sculptra
is just as effective regardless of your age.
