Sculptra® in Mississauga
Sculptra® is an injectable cosmetic treatment designed to restore lost volume in the face and stimulate collagen production. It is made from a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is biocompatible and biodegradable.
Sculptra® works by stimulating the production of collagen, a key structural protein that gives skin its firmness and elasticity. When injected, it triggers a process called neocollagenesis, causing the body to produce new collagen fibers. Over time, these new fibers help restore volume and improve the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds.

What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved biostimulator that helps restore volume loss caused by aging or weight changes. Instead of acting like a traditional filler, it gradually improves the skin’s structure by encouraging natural collagen production.
This approach allows for a progressive enhancement in skin quality, making Sculptra® a preferred option for individuals seeking natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
Sculptra® is most commonly used on the face (see treatment areas below) and can also be applied to the buttocks for a non-surgical lift.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is slowly absorbed by the body. As this process occurs, it stimulates neocollagenesis—the formation of new collagen fibers.
Over time, this helps:
- Improve skin texture
- Enhance firmness
- Restore lost volume
