Sculptra is an injectable biostimulant composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a safe, biodegradable sugar polymer. It works beneath the skin’s surface to help restore facial volume, redefine contours, and smooth deep wrinkles and folds caused by aging. Unlike traditional HA fillers, Sculptra promotes gradual, natural-looking results by encouraging your body to rebuild lost collagen over time. At IMED Centre, this treatment is often used for nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheekbone enhancement, and chin contouring.
