Can Sculptra be used to fill in the under-eye area like a filler?

To put it bluntly, "I don't recommend it" because there's a risk of an unnatural look. Stimulating collagen production takes time and is difficult to control, as everyone's skin problems are different. This is different from fillers, where a doctor can accurately assess the depth and elasticity of the skin, making it easier to administer the appropriate amount. Using Sculptra, a large-molecule PLLA filler, under the eyes carries a risk of unevenness.

The doctor would like to summarize the two types of fillers for you.

1. Regenerative Biostimulator
   • It is a substance that stimulates the skin to regenerate itself.
   • Helps improve skin structure.
   • Suitable for those who want youthful-looking skin.
   • Helps stimulate collagen production.
2. Filler
   • It is a substance used to fill in missing parts.
   • Helps fill in deep wrinkles on the face.
   • Suitable for those who want to reshape their face.

Simply put, regenerative biostimulators help the skin look younger from within, while fillers directly fill in areas that need filling.
