Sculptra polylactic acid preparation application

Definition : Sculptra is a sterile suspension of the L-polylactic acid. The L-polylactic acid is a biocompatible (harmless for the human organism), biodegradable (decomposable in the human organism) synthetic polymer from the alfahydroxile acid group (fruit acids). The L-polylactic acid has been used in medicine for years as a component of soluble surgical threads and does not require preliminary skin allergic tests.
The Sculptra preparation was created in order to correct skin hollows such as furrows, wrinkles, folds, scars, lower eyelid hollows and lack of fatty tissue in the facial area and the entire body (lipoatrophy). Sculptra preparation treatment consists of injecting the acid into the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Sculptra is not a filling preparation for use in subsidences, it stimulates new collagen production. The preparation is absorbed within 2 years whereas the new collagen layers remain for many years to come.
