Sculptra 5ml
Sculptra 5ml is an advanced injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume, improve skin texture, and stimulate natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra works beneath the skin's surface to address the root causes of aging, delivering gradual and long-lasting results. Its active ingredient, Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic polymer that promotes collagen regeneration, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Sculptra is particularly effective for treating volume loss, deep creases, scars, and skin depressions, and can create a lifting effect for sagging skin or a subtle slimming lift in fuller areas. It also helps restore a youthful glow by improving skin firmness and elasticity, with results that can last up to two years.
Please note that in Denmark, only dermatologists and plastic surgeons are permitted to use collagen stimulating products.
