Financing Options Q - What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable product which can restore lost facial volume and fill in lines. Unlike many other facial fillers, Sculptra corrects volume deficiencies by stimulating the production of the body’s own collagen. It may be used to improve the appearance of sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, indentations, folds and other sunken areas. Sculptra can also rejuvenate the hands by eliminating the appearance of large, protruding veins. For a more immediate and long-term volumizing effect, Sculptra can be layered with other fillers like Restylane and Radiesse.
