What is SCULPTRA™

Sculpra™t (poly-L-lactic acid) is approved by FDA for treatment of facial fat loss in HIV patients. It is also known as the “LIQUID FACELIFT” and has been used world wide since 1999 in over 150,000 patients under the trade name New-Fill™. Sculptra™ is a safe, synthetic, bio-compatible (does not harm the body) and bio-degradable (broken down by the body) substance that is injected to sculpt sunken cheeks, indentations and hollow eyes. Poly-L-lactic is a synthetic version of the substance naturally produced in the body during exercise.

How does SCULPTRA™ work?

Sculptra™ is injected into the skin. It appears to work immediately, because of swelling. The swelling subsequently subsides. Over the next few weeks, the body is stimulated to produce COLLAGEN. The results are natural looking. Results last for 2 years or longer.

What can you expect after a SCULPTRA™ injection?

	Side effects are minimal.
	Short term swelling redness.
	Swelling goes down.
	Gradual filling of injection areas over the next 4-6 weeks as the body produces natural collagen.
	Rarely you may feel small bumps when pressing on the injection area. These bumps are not visible.
