Is it true that Sculptra was just approved by the FDA?

Thanks for your question,

Yes it is true the FDA just gave approval for Sculptura.  The previous indication was for facial wasting for patients with HIV.  It has been a safe and effective treatment for sometime.  Many physicians have been using it "off label" for sometime.

At our San Francisco area office we're using it for people who have experience with other fillers and like the results and want a longer lasting result.

I hope this helps.
