Sculptra: Injectable
Now Available!
We are now offering our patients a new product called Sculptra. It
comes from Dermik laboratories who have over 55 years of experience in the
development of pharmaceutical products. Sculptra is injectable
poly-L-lactic acid and it is approved by the US food and Drug Administration .
Sculpture restores the lost volume associated with facial lipoatrophy through
a gradual increase in dermal thickness, which persists for up to 2 years after
the first treatment session. Sculptra is a synthetic, biodegradable, and
biocompatible lactic acid polymer. Therefore, no skin testing is required
prior to the injection.
The treatment session takes approximately twenty minutes to complete.
Most patients will see an immediate improvement in the contour of the face and
facial wrinkles. It is then recommended to have a second session a few
weeks later. The body will then start to lay down collagen fibers in the
injected area. The final result may then be seen within 4-6 weeks.
