Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a non-surgical facial injectable treatment designed to restore lost collagen, improve facial wrinkles, and add volume to the skin. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material. Sculptra® works by gradually stimulating collagen production deep within the dermis, reinforcing the skin’s structure. This process helps correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles/folds and restores volume making the face appear younger. Unique areas Sculptra® can be injected are the hands, chest, and the buttocks to give you a natural lift and fullness.
Sculptra® in Weehawken, NJ and Hoboken, NJ is ideal for individuals seeking subtle and gradual improvements to their facial contours without undergoing surgery. Results typically appear after the first few sessions, with full results developing over several months. The effects of Sculptra® last for 2 – 3 years and is an excellent treatment for those wishing long-term facial rejuvenation.
