Volume & Contouring
Sculptra in Seoul

QUICK ANSWER

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that stimulates your own collagen to restore volume gradually. It is usually given in 2–3 sessions about 4–6 weeks apart. Results build over 3–6 months and can last up to 2 years, giving a natural, non-filled look.
