Frequently Asked Questions About Regenerative Therapies

PRP is prepared from your own blood. Biostimulators such as Sculptra are different: Sculptra contains manufactured poly-L-lactic acid, not your plasma. Neither treatment is risk-free. Risks include pain, bruising, swelling, infection, and, with Sculptra, lumps or nodules; injectable fillers also carry a risk of serious injury if injected into a blood vessel. Your provider will discuss risks specific to the product, treatment area, and your health history.

Results are visible immediately, improve over weeks, and last up to 6 months. With multiple sessions, the effects can last up to 2 years.
