Sculptra

Sculptra is an injectable cosmetic filler that uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate collagen production, increase facial fat volume, and restore youthful-looking skin. It’s typically used to treat deep lines, creases, and facial fat loss due to aging or illness. Like other cosmetic fillers, it can be used on multiple areas of the face.

While Sculptra injections may take longer than its competitors to show results, it’s also longer-lasting than other fillers. Typically, Sculptra treatments require multiple sessions and take several months before you’ll see effects. But the results may last between two and three years.
