Sculptra has gained recognition worldwide for its ability to restore a youthful-looking appearance and enhance facial features. However, there is often confusion about whether Sculptra is considered a dermal filler.
What is a Dermal Filler?
A dermal filler is a gel-like substance injected beneath the skin, where the main ingredient is Hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body. It offers immediate results by filling targeted areas like under-eyes, nose, and lips.
Benefits:
- Immediate volume restoration (e.g., cheeks, lips, tear trough)
- Facial contouring (defined nose bridge, jawline, etc.)
- Plump up thin lips
- Reduce dark eye circles
- Results last up to 1 year
Is Sculptra a Dermal Filler?
Sculptra is a type of dermal filler, but it differs from traditional HA dermal fillers. Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) filler that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production to treat signs of aging and maintain skin health for up to 2 years.
How Does Sculptra Differ?
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Restores volume to cheeks, temples, and jawline
- Smooths wrinkles
- Improves skin texture
- Gradual and continues improvement
- Natural results
- Lasts up to 2 years
