Sculptra™ is used for restoring volume and improving facial contours. Sculptra works differently from other injectable products. Think it terms of a volumizer, not a filler. It is made of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLA) that has been safely used in orthopedics since the mid-nineties and has been used in Europe since 1999 for cosmetic correction of scars and wrinkles. Recently approved by the FDA, it can now be used off-label to treat any patient cosmetically. At The MIAMI Institute, Sculptra is carefully injected into the face, and then molded for optimal results. The particles of PLA stimulate the formation of new collagen in the skin, adding volume over time.

There is no downtime with Sculptra treatments. Temporary bruising and swelling may occur and typically resolve over a few days. Sculptra can be used with Botox Cosmetic, dermal fillers and in patients who have had facelifts and need a restoration of facial volume. Sculptra can also be used in the back of hands for ageing, the upper chest for deep lines and areas of depressions that may occur after liposuction.
Proper use of Scultpra produces a more youthful, pleasing facial contour in people with facial aging, wrinkling and loss of facial fat. Sculptra™ may require a series of three to five treatments every four to six weeks. Improvement in contour occurs gradually over two to six months, an advantage for patients wishing to avoid the obvious tell-tale overnight change in appearance of cosmetic surgery.
