Sculptra Aesthetic is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of facial wrinkles and folds. Sculptra Aesthetic is made from a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which has been used for many years in various medical products, including dissolvable stitches. When injected into the skin, Sculptra Aesthetic works to gradually stimulate the body’s own collagen production, helping to restore lost volume and improve skin texture over time.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with Sculptra Aesthetic. These may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or lumps at the injection site. However, these side effects are usually mild to moderate and typically resolve on their own within a few days to a week.
