Sculptra PLLA

As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) Bio-stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles by revitalizing collagen production within the deep dermis. As Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production restoring your skin’s inner structure and volume.

Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.

Largely used as an anti-aging injectable treatment, Sculptra helps to restore lost volume to the face, and body, as well as accelerate the production of collagen in the skin where collagen and elastin production has begun to deplete due to the normal process of aging..

At The Lip Loft, we are proud to have received hands on training with Galderma for Sculptra Aesthetic
