Sculptra is an injectable treatment that gradually restores facial volume by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. It’s ideal for softening deep folds, hollow cheeks, and contour loss caused by aging.
Restore Facial Volume with Sculptra
Sculptra works differently from traditional fillers. Instead of adding volume instantly, it uses Poly L Lactic Acid to trigger collagen growth beneath the skin. Over time, this improves skin thickness, smooths deep folds, and restores a more youthful shape to the face.
It’s especially effective for treating hollow temples, sunken cheeks, and smile lines. Results develop gradually over a few months, look natural, and can last up to two years. Because it rebuilds your own tissue, the outcome is subtle, long-lasting, and highly personalized. Sculptra is a great option for those looking for a refreshed appearance without looking overfilled.
