A decrease in the body’s natural production of collagen is one of the most common signs that the facial aging process has started to take place.
When your body makes less collagen, the result often takes the form of fine lines, wrinkles, or a gaunt appearance in the midface.
Sculptra® helps patients age more gracefully by filling in lost volume and encouraging your body’s production of collagen for a naturally refreshed look.
