Sculptra is a synthetic injectable material known as
“poly-L-lactic acid”. Poly-L-lactic acid is
biocompatible (a material that does not harm the
body) and biodegradable (able to be broken down by
the body). Poly-L-lactic acid has been widely used
for many years in dissolvable stitches, soft tissue
implants, and other types of implants.
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra is
injected below the surface of the skin in the area
of fat loss. Sculptra provides a gradual increase in
skin thickness. Visible results appear within the
first few treatment sessions.
Do I
need a skin test before being treated with Sculptra?
No
skin testing is required prior to use.
How
many treatments are required?
Your health care provider will decide the appropriate number of
treatment sessions and the amount of Sculptra you will need at
each session. Patients may require 3-4 treatment sessions.
How
long do Sculptra results last?
Treatment
results will differ for each person. In a clinical study,
Sculptra lasted for up to three years after the first treatment
session, in most patients.
