Sculptra - collagen production stimulator

The Sculptra is the most effective preparation known in aesthetic medicine that stimulates the production of collagen. Its main ingredient is L-polylactic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. This polymer has been widely used in medicine for over 30 years. The Sculptra is a discrete method and effects of which appear gradually. By stimulating the body to produce collagen on its own, Sculptra effectively restores skin tension, smoothes it and firms it. As a result, changes on the face resulting from the administration of the preparation are perceived by the environment as a natural effect of a relaxed and favorable-looking face and are not associated with the treatment.
