Contact UsSculptra® Aesthetic FAQs
Is Sculptra® Aesthetic made from animal products?
No. Sculptra® Aesthetic is composed of PLLA – poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic product that is biocompatible (does not harm the body) and is biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body). PLLA is not made from human or animal sources.
How long has PLLA been in use?
PLLA has been widely used for many years in dissolvable stitches, soft tissue implants
Is skin-testing required before starting Sculptra® Aesthetic treatments?
No. Since it is not made from human or animal sources – skin testing is not needed.
What does long-lasting mean relative to Sculptra® Aesthetic treatments?
Since Sculptra® Aesthetic promotes the body’s own collagen production – the results have proven to last up to 2 years and occasionally longer. Touch-up sessions are chosen by most patients so they can keep looking great.
How does Sculptra® Aesthetic differ from other dermal fillers?
There are several wonderful options today – and each has its own virtues. Most dermal fillers do just that – they fill in space under the skin to smooth out lines and wrinkles. They last a few months to a year. Sculptra® Aesthetic promotes collagen production – so that when the PLLA particles have broken down – the restructured collagen is still in place giving the face fullness and contour.

This varies from patient to patient. Your specialist will be able to determine your needs and tailor your personalized treatment plan during your personal consultation.
