Cosmetic Use of Sculptra Now FDA Approved

Growing options for facial shaping and rejuvenation

(Vocus) August 12, 2009 -- Sculptra, a poly-L-lactic acid filler previously approved for loss of facial fat in HIV positive individuals, is now approved for cosmetic use, to add volume and fullness to facial features and contours.

Other adverse events reported during the 25-month trial included small bumps and lumps, some with a delayed onset and were mild or moderate in intensity. Most side effects resolved on their own.

The Sculptra results appear over time and are somewhat more diffuse. Metaphorically it is the differ
