Sculptra for Collagen Induction

Sculptra Aesthetic is a collagen induction agent made up of Poly L Lactic Acid (PLLA). PLLA is commonly used in absorbable sutures and is biologically inactive except for the induction of collagen during its metabolism by the body. It was initially studied and approved for the treatment of AIDS related wasting especially in the temporal hollows. It’s use has changed over the years and is currently used to encourage your own body to synthesize collagen, add natural fullness and increase skin quality. It is a long lasting treatment giving proven benefit of 2 years but thats when the study was stopped so we expect that it will last even longer!
