Sculptra activates the skin’s natural regenerative process and helps replenish lost volume and support of your skin’s inner structure. It is biocompatible and provides a gradual, yet significant improvement in skin thickness and reduces the appearance of facial lines and folds. Unlike other “fillers”, the response slowly builds over time instead of degrading over months.
