SCULPTRA® 2 vials

Overview of Sculptra 2 Vials

Sculptra 2 Vials is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that targets facial volume loss and enhances skin’s structure through collagen replenishment. As the PLLA microparticles are absorbed by the skin, they stimulate natural collagen growth, improving facial wrinkles, folds, and depressions. This gradual and subtle rejuvenation process offers a long-lasting youthful appearance, with results that can last up to 2 years. Ideal for addressing facial aging, Sculptra is a trusted solution for restoring lost facial volume and combating skin sagging.

• Treating facial fat loss: Ideal for patients with HIV-induced lipoatrophy to restore volume.
• Enhancing skin firmness and elasticity: Stimulates collagen growth for firmer, more resilient skin.
