Why doesn't sculptra produce immediate results like other facial fillers? i've read about how it takes time to see any results from sculptra. but other fillers show results immediately and then just take a little time to settle into final results. why is

Builds collagen: Sculptra is unique in that it is the only product that produces results solely by stimulating collagen production. This usually takes the body several weeks and months to produce this collagen. With other products, the material is injected to create a volume effect. This is instantaneous and will last as long as it takes the body to break the product down.

Sculptra biostimulat: Sculptra is not a filler as it does not give the fullness through its own volume. It is a powder and is mixed with water to inject. Water gets absorbed in 2 days or so and you dont have any result. The injected powder then starts stimulating growth of your own collagen over a period of months.

How Sculptra Works: Sculptra uses a poly-l-lactic acid and is injected in an area under the skin’s surface that demonstrates a visible loss of fat. This will naturally generate the growth of new collagen, thus results will become noticeable throughout the first few treatments. Following treatment sessions, the collagen will continue to develop. It relies on your body to produce its own collagen filler.

Collagen Production: Sculptra works by stimulating collagen production in the skin. When you first have the "fill" the volume you get is water. This then goes away and the Sculptra remains. Your body then builds up the collagen and breaks down the Sculptra, leaving behind an increase in volume.
