What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is a dermal filler made with synthetic poly-L-lactic acid. This biocompatible, biodegradable material has been widely used for many years in dissolvable stitches, soft tissue implants, and other types of implants. As a dermal filler, Sculptra® is popular for its more natural and long-lasting results since it works by increasing collagen production rather than adding artificial volume with gel-like fillers.

At the Langdon Center, we offer multiple types of dermal fillers to ensure we have the best option for each patient. We often recommend Sculptra® for marionette lines, smile lines, and chin wrinkles. It can also restore volume in areas that have lost facial fat, such as the cheeks, and improve the overall quality of aging skin to make it firmer and more youthful.

While hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® use gel-like formulas to add volume, Sculptra® addresses the root cause of volume loss and aging skin: collagen. This essential fiber gives your skin its structure and support. Your body produces less of it as you age, and sun damage over time can also break down collagen fibers. By stimulating collagen production within the skin, Sculptra® gradually improves volume and structure to restore smooth, firm skin.
