Sculptra has gained recognition worldwide for its ability to restore youthful appearance and enhance facial appearance. However, there’s often confusion about whether Sculptra is considered a dermal filler.
What is a Dermal Filler?
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
