Sculptra® is approved by the FDA for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss, or lipoatrophy.
In a clinical study, the effects lasted for up to 2 years after the first treatment session in most patients.
The results from Sculptra® are not immediate; Sculptra® provides a gradual increase in skin thickness. Your doctor will determine the number of additional injections needed.
Sculptra® is a safe, synthetic, and biocompatible material that is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. It provides a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness, improving the appearance of folds and sunken areas. No skin testing is required.
well, only half the story. if you google sculptra granuloma, you'll find a vast amount of information on this product and the side effects-granulomas which are basically nodular bumps that form where the material has been injected. the product originally was pushed through the fda under the compassion drug guise for aids/hiv patients with severe facial fat wasting. in europe and canada the product has been outright banned due to the many reports of of side effects and bad cosmetic results.
