Sculptra�
Sculptra� is a synthetic
injectable material known as “poly-L-lactic acid.”
Poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible, biodegradable
material that has been widely used for many years in
dissolvable stitches, soft tissue implants, and other
types of implants.
Sculptra� is intended for
restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat
loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency
virus.
How does Sculptra� work?
Sculptra� is injected below the surface of the skin in
the area of fat loss. Sculptra� provides an increase in
skin thickness. Visible results appear within the first
few treatment sessions. Sculptra� will not correct the
underlying cause of the facial fat loss, but will help
improve the appearance by increasing skin thickness in
the treated area.
