As the human body ages, the natural loss of collagen leads to thinner and structurally weakened skin.1,2 Facial aging is characterized by loss of volume, a decrease in skin quality and skin sagging.3
Sculptra is used to restore volume to skin by revitalizing collagen production.4 Injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer, Sculptra corrects shallow to deep nasolabial-fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles. Aesthetic professionals use PLLA aesthetic treatments to restore thickness and firmness to areas of the face that have become loose and saggy.
