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.
