FDA Approves Sculptra Aesthetic
We have been using Sculptra in our office for several years. It was FDA approved for HIV facial atrophy but was used “off label” for cosmetic applications. Below is the first paragraph of their press release. I can forward the whole release if anyone is interested. Just email me.
Sanofi-aventis U.S. announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved SculptraŽAesthetic (injectable poly-L-lactic acid) for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold (smile lines) contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles which are treated with the appropriate injection technique in healthy patients.
SculptraŽAesthetic works gradually to offer natural-looking results that can last up to two years.
