What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is a dermal filler that contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Sculptra® stimulates your body to produce new collagen, which helps to restore facial volume.
It’s not like traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, which plump up depressed faces and smooth creases. Within the deep dermis, Sculptra® helps to replace and reinforce the skin’s collagen structure. This enhanced collagen structure acts as a basis for progressively restoring the fullness of your facial contour, smoothing out shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds that have developed over time. As the collagen takes effect, it also diminishes wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, eye bags, and other signs of aging.

What Is a Collagen Filler?

A collagen filler is an injectable treatment containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that helps the body naturally produce new collagen to restore facial volume.

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate plumping, collagen fillers work deep within the skin to rebuild and strengthen its structure over time. This gradual process restores facial fullness and smooths out wrinkles and folds.

As collagen production increases, it also helps reduce fine lines, dark circles, eye bags, and other visible signs of aging, giving the skin a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

How does Sculptra® work?

Collagen is a fibrous protein found in the deep dermis of the skin that gives its structure. Elastin is an elastic protein that helps the skin maintain its shape, while HA nourishes the skin and keeps it hydrated.
Collagen helps both elastin and hyaluronic acid (HA) perform its tasks, thus the more collagen you have, the more elastin and HA you have.
But as people get older, collagen loss and lipoatrophy lead to apparent indicators of face ageing such as deep wrinkles, skin folds, sunken cheeks, a haggard appearance, and more.
Sculptra® is a revolutionary collagen-replenishing treatment that helps your body regenerate collagen, unlike other face fillers. It restores the skin’s inner structure and volume by working deep beneath the dermis rather than on the surface. It is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that works to replenish lost collagen by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. When PLLA micro-particles are absorbed into the skin, they rebuild collagen strands, restoring facial volume and adding fullness to deep wrinkles and visible skin folds over time.

How Do Collagen Fillers Work?

Collagen is a fibrous protein found in the deep dermis that provides structure to the skin. Elastin helps maintain skin elasticity, while hyaluronic acid (HA) keeps the skin hydrated and nourished. Since collagen supports both elastin and HA, having more collagen means better skin firmness and hydration.

As we age, collagen loss and lipoatrophy lead to visible signs of aging, such as deep wrinkles, skin folds, sunken cheeks, and a tired appearance.

Collagen fillers help stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, unlike traditional fillers that only add volume. These fillers work deep within the skin to restore its inner structure and volume rather than just addressing surface concerns. The active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is absorbed into the skin, where it gradually rebuilds collagen strands. Over time, this process helps restore facial volume, smooth deep wrinkles, and enhance skin firmness.
