Sometimes people avoid cosmetic procedures because they’re afraid they’ll look like they’ve had one. They may be scared of looking unnatural or unlike themselves. Or they may feel uncomfortable with the attention that an overnight change in their physical appearance can bring.

For these people, there is Sculptra Aesthetic, a very different kind of facial injectible treatment that stimulates your own body to restore youthful fullness to your face.

Whereas other fillers give immediate results, Sculptra Aesthetic takes several treatments for results to gradually appear. But once they do, they look natural and can last for up to two years.

Sculptra Aesthetic targets the deep dermis, where your skin’s structure is reinforced, to help replace lost collagen. This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores fullness to your skin’s deep facial wrinkles and folds.

Sculptra Aesthetic is made from a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body as it works to replace lost collagen. Poly-L-lactic acid has been used safely for decades in dissolvable stitches and as a facial injectable since 1999 in over 30 countries.
