Is Sculptra Different from Dermal Fillers?

Sculptra is a unique anti-aging injectable treatment that stimulates and accelerates collagen production to restore facial volume and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles over time. Unlike dermal fillers, Sculptra does not simply fill in wrinkles and lines to give a more youthful appearance. Instead, its key ingredient poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) acts as a scaffold to replenish collagen and gradually reverse signs of aging for a refreshed, youthful appearance.
