SCULPTRA™ is the latest breakthrough in newly FDA-approved
injectible fillers. This non-invasive treatment corrects the deepest of
lines and wrinkles with long-term results using a biodegradable material
called "poly-L-lactic acid". Studies have shown that SCULPTRA's potency
can even correct lipaoatrophy, a condition that causes facial fat loss
(typically occurring in patients with HIV).
Using a local
anesthetic to minimize discomfort, SCULPTRA™ is injected using a very
fine needle. It works by increasing the thickness of the skin and fills
in what has been lost. Results are gradual, depending on the type of
results desired and the severity of the problem. Over time, the
appearance is dramatically altered after multiple, biweekly treatments.
Once the desired look is achieved, this semi-permanent treatment lasts
up to two years, but could require minor touch-ups.
