Although Sculptra and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers are both used to restore loss of volume, their mechanics of function are quite different. Sculptra is made of particles known as Poly – L - Acid (PLLA) that help to regenerate and stimulate collagen. HA fillers metabolize through the body over a period of 6-12 months, while the stimulating effects of the PLLA molecules of Sculptra create longer lasting results.

Patients state seeing results of their treatment as early as one month, but in most cases Sculptra will take about three to four months for maximum benefits. As the skin slowly builds up collagen and elastin, you’ll see more noticeable results. Patient results will vary.
