Sculptra is a polymer of Lactic acid. A polymer is a large molecule made of multiple,chemically linked, identical small molecules. In the case of sculptra, the small molecule is lactic acid, which is found in yogurt, giving it the sour taste.
Sculptra is biocompatible, biodegradable and immunologically inert. It stimulates collagen production by the fibrocytes in the skin. This is a prolonged process so that the ultimate correction may last 1 to 3 years.
It has, similar to the sutures mentioned above, an excellent record of safety. Dr. Eugene and Steven Mandrea have treated numerous patients with Sculptra in Chicago and suburbs.
