Sculptra

There are twenty-eight identified collagen molecules in the human body. Collagen makes up 30% of the body’s proteins, with 90% of the collagen being Type 1. Type 1 collagen is involved in the structure and support of skin, bones, and blood vessels and is the primary collagen molecule involved in anti-aging treatments. Starting at the age of twenty-five, we start to lose collagen at a rate of 1% per year. By the time one is forty, they have lost 15% of their collagen, leading to the development of wrinkles and loss of facial fullness. While many oral collagen supplements exist on the market, it is important to note that collagen cannot be absorbed in its whole form; once ingested, the oral supplement will be broken down into its component amino acids. These free amino acids cannot be focused on a particular area of the body but rather will be utilized where they are needed. In addition, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate oral supplements; thus the safety and efficacy of the supplement cannot be verified.

Sculptra is an FDA-approved collagen stimulator that can be administered directly to the area(s) of your face that need it most, stimulating the production of the very Type 1 collagen molecules that support the structure of your skin.
