 How does Sculptra^TM work?

Sculptra^TM is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss.Sculptra^TM provides a gradual increase in skin thickness. Visible results appear within the first few treatment sessions. Sculptra^TM will not correct the underlying cause of the facial fat loss,but will help improve the appearance by increasing skin thickness in the treated area.Sculptra^TM takes time to gradually correct the depression in your skin.
Drs. Benedetto will decide the appropriate number of treatment sessions and the amount of Sculptra^TM you will need at each session. Patients with severe facial fat loss may require 3 to 6 treatment sessions.
Treatment results will differ for each person, but can last up to two years.
