Collagen 101: How Sculptra can boost your skin's youthful glow

What Is Collagen and Why Is It Important?

Collagen is a structural protein in your skin, bones, and connective tissue that provides firmness, elasticity, and volume. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, which can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

Maintaining healthy collagen is key to youthful, glowing skin and is a cornerstone of effective collagen treatments.

How Collagen Loss Affects Your Skin

Declining collagen can cause:

• Skin to appear thinner and less elastic
• Loss of facial volume, especially in cheeks and temples
• More pronounced smile lines and wrinkles
• Skin to look dull or sagging

These are normal signs of aging, but they can be addressed with collagen-stimulating injectables like Sculptra®.

‍

What Is Sculptra® and How Does It Work?

Sculptra® by Galderma is a biocompatible injectable that gradually restores facial volume by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® works over time to create natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.

• Active Ingredient: Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)
• Mechanism: Stimulates collagen growth for gradual facial lifting
• Results: Natural-looking improvements over weeks to months, lasting up to 2 years

Lifestyle Tips to Support Collagen

Enhance your results with healthy habits:

• Eat collagen-rich foods: bone broth, fish, protein-rich meals

• Consider collagen supplements

While lifestyle choices help, Sculptra® treatments provide a stronger, longer-lasting boost to collagen production.
