Cotton Candy vs. Collagen? 🍭🧬

It sounds crazy, but the science of “fluff” is actually the science of volume.

Just like a machine spins simple sugar crystals around a cone to create a fluffy cloud, Sculptra uses tiny PLLA microspheres as a scaffold.  

Your body’s natural cells “wrap” these spheres in fresh collagen, building a new network that restores volume and structure to your face.  

The best part? The PLLA eventually disappears, leaving only your own natural tissue behind. ✨

Come learn all about it during our Lunch & Learn on Tuesday, February 3rd from 11-12 at Petro Facial Plastic Surgery 🩷
