"I can't get over all the comments I've had about how much younger I'm looking and my friends can't put their finger on it. " Have you had any surgery?" But they can't see the scars.
I'm thrilled!"

"Friends are telling me I look very young and never more beautiful - I'm 60!
When I first started treatment I only wanted to use small amounts of injections. Now I leave the amounts up to Dr. Rakus and I can truly say 'more is better' - don't hesitate to go for it!"

Why Sculptra™?
The natural ageing process causes skin to lose its full, firm, youthful appearance. Skin becomes thinner and loses its elasticity, causing wrinkles and folds to appear. Fat tissue is lost and patients look older. Sculptra™ can help restore lost volume to the face and smooth deep folds and wrinkles.
Who?
For patients who want to restore volume and contour to their face or lose deep lines and folds.
Areas for Sculptra™ are:
| Upper Face | Crow's feet |
| Orbital rim | |
| Temple concavity | |
| Mid Face | Nasolabial folds |
| Buccal concavity | |
| Lower Face | Marionette lines |
| Oral rhytides | |
| Glabellar lines |
How Sculptra™ works
The patient should be re-evaluated no sooner than 2 weeks after each injection session to determine if additional correction is needed.
After approximately 6 weeks clear improvement can be seen.
Larger volume defects may involve further treatment.
Volume effects for over 3 years
A recent European study has shown:
- Long - lasting correction of small and large tissue defects
- Volume effects were found to persist in numerous patients for over 3 years
- Sculptra™ has potential to improve quality of life
A profile of individual mean dermal thickness as measured by ultrasound over time: The Vega study6
Poly-L-lacticacid implants to correct facial lipoatrophy in 50 HIV-infected patients
Treatment session - Days O, 15, 30, 45, and 60 (if needed).
Follow-up visits-weeks 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96.
- Sculptra™ provided a near 3-fold increase from baseline in mean dermal thickness6
- Increases in mean dermal thickness persisted throughout the study period6
- All patients markedly improved from baseline6
Sculptra™ a facial aesthetic treatment option:-
- Some dermal filling devices do not provide long term correction of facial lipoatrophy7
- Permanent implants and injectable products cannot accommodate continued changes in appearance that occur with age7
- Compared with fillers PLLA (Sculptra™) provides more suitable volume enhancement to correct the signs of lipoatrophy7
"Injectable PLLA (Sculptra™) is not a dermal filler and it should not be used like one"
