Looking for a revolutionary anti-aging treatment that can restore your skin's inner structure and volume? Look no further than Sculptra! This non-invasive, FDA-approved injectable treatment stimulates natural collagen production, effectively combating the signs of aging and leaving you with a more youthful appearance.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra treatments in Scottsdale stimulate natural collagen growth to help restore facial volume and fullness over time. Sculptra works with your body within the deep dermis to help restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish fine lines and wrinkles while restoring volume to hollow and bony areas of the face.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra contains a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and commonly found in dissolvable stitches. By absorbing poly-L-lactic acid into your body, PLLA stimulates new collagen fiber production in the skin within a few days of treatment.
These new fibers provide structure and support in wrinkles, thinning skin, and hollow areas. Because of this unique active ingredient, Sculptra stands apart from other cosmetic injectables by providing a long-term improvement to the appearance with gradual results that can last for up to two years.
Did You Know, By The Age Of 45, You Face Up To 25% Collagen Loss?
Starting in our mid-30s, collagen production begins to decline, which leads to wrinkles, lines, sagging skin, and hollows. Collagen breakdown in the skin can be accelerated by various factors, including exposure to the sun, environmental factors, smoking, stress, and genetics. Collagen is one of the key building blocks for our skin — it’s a fibrous protein in the deep dermis that gives skin structure and supports the functions of elastin and hyaluronic acid, which helps maintain the skin’s shape while keeping it smooth and hydrated. A healthy supply of collagen makes for a more youthful-looking complexion.

The Benefits Of Sculptra
