Myth 1: Sculptra is Unsafe
Fact: Sculptra is FDA-approved and has safely used worldwide since 1999. It contains Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production. PLLA has used for many years in dissolvable stitches, so it’s safe for use in the body.
Myth 2: The Treatment is Painful
Fact: Like any injectable treatment, some discomfort can expect. However, a topical anesthetic applied before the procedure to minimize any pain. Most patients report feeling a slight sting or pinch during the injection.
Myth 3: Sculptra Causes Immediate Side Effects
Fact: Any injectable treatment can cause immediate side effects like swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
Myth 4: Sculptra Results are Permanent
Fact: Sculptra provides long-lasting but not permanent results. The treatment stimulates your body’s collagen production, so results vary for each person. However, most patients enjoy the results for up to two years.
