Sculptra is an injectable collagen stimulator containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). It’s a fluid, spreadable substance that our skilled provider injects into the deeper layers of your skin, where collagen is naturally abundant. The PLLA triggers a mild, controlled inflammatory response, which encourages the body to create new collagen fibers and rebuild your skin’s internal structure.
What’s so important about collagen? It’s your skin’s primary structural protein, and it’s responsible for keeping your skin firm and healthy. It’s in pretty constant supply in your youth, but that process begins to decline starting in your mid-20s. Other lifestyle factors, including excessive sun exposure, smoking, an unhealthy diet, and poor hydration, can also affect your body’s collagen levels. And as nice as it would be to restock your collagen with supplements, the effects are often less substantial than many would like.
Instead, we can focus our efforts on specific, targeted rejuvenation using Sculptra in Canton. Acting as a “scaffolding” for collagen synthesis, Sculptra helps your body rebuild your skin from within, leading to natural-looking rejuvenation that can last for years.
