Sculptra causes collagen synthesis which in turn leads to increased volume. The effects take place over time and sometimes require multiple injection sessions for full results. These products don't cause bone growth but can through volumization create a more youthful appearance.
Sculptra does not cause bone growth but instead collagen growth. If you hit the bone with a needle that can stimulate some bone growth at times. RegardsDr. J
Sculptra, or PLLA, stimulates collagen and soft tissue growth. This means that if it is injected to the cheeks, the cheeks will get fuller and larger because of skin thickening and fat enlargement. It tends to last longer when injected over the bone, however, there is no evidence to suggest that it causes bone growth.
Hi There, Sculptra does not cause bone growth or formation. Once injected it causes a localized inflammatory response, with a capsule forming around each molecule as it is metabolized. This results in increased collagen production and an increase in dermal (skin) thickness, helping increase volume. The results with this filler improves with time. Hope this helps,Javad Sajan, MD
Sculptra does not cause bone growth. Sculptra stimulates your won collagen to produce and is one of my favorite injections. It gives volume and restores collagen and helps with sagging skin. It is great because it will last more than two years after injection. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
