What is collagen and how is it important to our skin?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, often considered its structural component. It provides strength and elasticity to the skin, bones, joints, and other organs. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and other health problems.
The working process of Sculptra
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance. When Sculptra is injected into the skin, PLLA stimulates the body to produce new collagen, which gradually fills in and increases the volume of the injected area. Results gradually become visible over several months and may last up to 2 years.
How does Sculptra differ from other methods?
Sculptra differs from other cosmetic procedures such as:
- Temporary fillers: Temporary fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm provide immediate results but break down within 6-12 months.

- Laser and radiofrequency treatments: Laser and radiofrequency treatments can stimulate collagen production, but the results are often not as permanent as with Sculptra.
