Sculptra’s core technology is based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable synthetic substance that has been used in medical applications for decades, including in dissolvable stitches and soft tissue implants. PLLA works by gradually stimulating collagen production, which is essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and structure.
Sculptra is found as a fine powder, which is then reconstituted with sterile water by the healthcare provider before injection. This process allows the PLLA microparticles to be evenly distributed, which means a more consistent collagen stimulation throughout the treated area. The treatment is typically administered through a series of injections into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer of the skin.
Results from Sculptra for arms can last up to two years or longer, depending on individual collagen response and lifestyle factors.
Most patients require 2–3 sessions of Sculptra for arms, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal collagen stimulation and visible improvement.
