Discomfort is rated after numbing (out of 5). Time, downtime and longevity vary with the treated area and the individual.
Also known as: poly-L-lactic acid, PLLA, “liquid facelift”
Sculptra by Galderma uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Early fullness fades within days; real volume builds over months as collagen forms. Several sessions weeks apart are needed, so for visitors from abroad we plan the next visits before starting.
