Collagen is the key element in skin that gives your face shape, and provides volume. About age 30, collagen begins to break down. As a result, wrinkles, lines and folds gradually appear, and worsen over time. Most injectables can fill these wrinkles, lines, and folds. Sculptra Aesthetic works differently. It gradually replaces lost collagen and reinforces your skin’s support structure. This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness to your facial wrinkles and folds, thus providing a refined, refreshed, and more youthful-looking appearance.

Each Sculptra Aesthetic injection session works to gradually improve the overall appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. Because the process is gradual, the effects of Sculptra are achieved through completing a full course of injection treatments as recommended by your health care professional. On average, three injection sessions are needed over a period of a few months, but your aesthetic professional will tailor the sessions to best suit your needs, thus maximizing your desired outcome. Because each treatment session builds on the last, it is important to return for all your scheduled treatment sessions as instructed by your provider.
