Question: I recently read an article on Sculptra that said it was made from poly L lactic acid and not hyaluronic acid. What is that, and how does it differ from ingredients in other injectable fillers?
Answer: Hyaluronic acid fillers simply fill an area of the face while poly-L-Lactic molecules do not actually fill but rather stimulate your body to produce scar tissue and collagen to fill the area. That is why Sculptra is less predictable or precise and lumps and bumps can form from over production of collagen in certain areas of the face.
