a more natural appearance. Sculptra is ideal for: ageing skin,

Your face is the first thing that people notice about you. But
when your appearance no longer reflects how you feel on the inside,
it may be time for a change.
In time, your skin loses its full, firm, youthful appearance.
This is the result of a natural ageing process. In time, your
skin is damaged, becomes thinner or loses its natural elasticity.
As a result, it becomes loose and start to wrinkle.
Fat tissue which also helps to fill out your face, is lost.
This reduction in skin volume can make your face look thin and
narrow so that you may possibly look older than you are.
Fortunately, Sculptra™ can help smooth out lines and wrinkles,
and restore the lost volume in a natural way.
With poly-L-lactic acid Sculptra™, you can restore facial contour and get rid of disturbing lines and wrinkles without surgery.
Poly-L-lactic acid, the main ingredient of Sculptra, has been used successfully in surgical procedure for more than 25 years, among others for bioresorbable sutures, in bone plates and screws, and as a medium for medication.
Sculptra has been specially developed to repair contour defects in the face. About 150 000 patients have been treated since 1999 world-wide. Sculptra is long-lasting and biocompatible and biodegradable.
Unlike surgical options, Sculptra can provide gradual, natural-looking results through less traumatic treatment.
A clinical study has shown that the aesthetic improvements obtained with Sculptra have persisted for up to 2 years in many patients!
