Understanding Traditional Fillers
Traditional fillers, such as hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, work by instantly adding volume and smoothing out wrinkles and lines. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Instant Results: Traditional fillers provide immediate visible improvements, plumping up targeted areas and offering wrinkle correction.
- Variety of Options: HA fillers come in various thicknesses to address different concerns, from fine lines to deep folds.
- Temporary Effects: The results of traditional fillers typically last 6-18 months, depending on the product used and your individual body chemistry.

Sculptra: The Collagen Stimulator
Sculptra is a unique injectable that takes a different approach to wrinkle reduction. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that stimulates the natural production of collagen within your skin.
- Gradual Improvement: Results with Sculptra develop gradually over a series of treatments, typically 2-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart.
- Long-lasting Effects: Once collagen production is stimulated, the effects of Sculptra can last up to two years, offering sustained wrinkle correction and facial volume restoration.
