Want to Look Better Without Surgery?
One of the great things about injectable treatments is their flexibility. They can improve many areas of the face and neck quickly and noninvasively.
The improvements can last as long as two years, depending on your face and body – and some people experience beneficial cosmetic effects for as long as five years.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable dermal filler that helps gradually replace lost collagen—the body’s most common protein, and one that supports cells and tissue, especially in the skin. When you can have a cosmetic treatment that has a medically beneficial effect on your skin, it’s a win-win.
- Sculptra® is made of biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic poly-L-lactic acid.
- When injected it activates the skin’s natural regenerative process.
- Dermal fillers help replace lost collagen and restore a look of fullness.
The product is unique when it comes to restoring the facial skin’s volume because it genuinely induces the body to produce new collagen. Though it may take longer than hyaluronic acid fillers to see the full effect, it’s worth the wait. The volume can last two years or more, and most find the results stunning.
Improve Your Appearance Quickly and Easily
Your lifestyle and genetics each play a role in how you age. While there is every reason to live a healthy lifestyle, even people who take care of themselves will notice changes over time. As you age, your skin’s natural collagen supply decreases and the result is less resiliency and fullness.

The results are sagging, wrinkles, and loss of volume in noticeable areas. Facial contouring with Sculptra® is an essential option in Dr. Tan’s patient-specific approach to cosmetic treatments. Dermal fillers can subtly lift tissue, tighten the skin, fill facial hollows, and replace lost volume.
