What is 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 a gradual increase
in skin thickness. Visible results appear within the first
few treatment sessions.
How many treatments are required?
More than one treatment session may be required. People with
severe facial fat loss may require three to six treatment
sessions.
How long does it last?
Treatment effects will differ for each person. In a clinical
study, the treatment results lasted for up to two years after
the first treatment session in most patients. Touch-up treatments
may be needed to maintain the desired effect.
