Sculptra
Slowly restoring volume over wide areas with PLLA
About Sculptra
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable containing PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid). It breaks down gradually in the skin and supports the body's own collagen production, and is used to improve volume and elasticity in hollow areas.
Its characteristic is that changes appear gradually over weeks to months rather than right after injection, and it is mainly chosen to address volume loss over wide areas such as the whole face. Following the massage instructions after treatment is important for even settling.
At Sia Clinic Daejeon, we plan 0.5 or 1 vial per session and 1 or 3 sessions depending on the degree and extent of hollowness, and packages combined with Radiesse are also available after consultation.
