Sculptra® in Calgary
Sculptra® is a collagen biostimulator. Instead of filling, it prompts your skin to build its own collagen gradually over a series of sessions.
How Sculptra® works
Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid. After injection, it stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, improving volume and skin quality over time.
Results build gradually across weeks to months, which makes Sculptra® suited to people who want a subtle, progressive change. It is not used in the lips.
- Overall facial volume loss
- Thinning skin quality
- Hollowing at the temples or cheeks
- Softening of facial contour
A physician assesses whether gradual collagen stimulation suits your goals and plans a series of sessions. It may be combined with hyaluronic acid filler or Morpheus8™.
