SCULPTRA
Poly-L-Lactic Acid
Your Face
It's the first thing people notice about you...the "you" that you represent to the world. But when your appearance no longer reflects how you feel on the inside, it may be time for a change.
Over the course of time, your skin loses it's tight, firm and youthful appearance. However, this is the result of a natural ageing process. Over time, skin often thins, becomes damaged, or loses it's natural elasticity. Fat which also helps to fill out our face, eventually breaks down, causing skin to sag and further wrinkles. In addition, losing a large amount of skin volume can cause your face to look thin, and narrow, possibly making you appear older than you are. Fortunately SCULPTRA may smooth wrinkles and creases and help your skin regain a firm and youthful appearance by restoring skin volume you may have naturally lost.
