Sculptra
Section titled “Sculptra”The original August 3, 2004 approval concerned restoration or correction of facial fat loss in people with HIV (FDA P030050 🔗).
The July 28, 2009 S002 supplement added Sculptra Aesthetic for shallow-to-deep nasolabial-fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles in immune-competent people where the labeled technique was appropriate (FDA P030050/S002 🔗).
The April 25, 2023 S039 supplement added correction of fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek region for immune-competent subjects (FDA P030050/S039 🔗; current indication summary and labeling 🔗).
The June 22, 2026 S055 supplement concerns an additional manufacturing autoclave. It is a current PMA record, but it is not an indication expansion (FDA P030050/S055 🔗).
Radiesse
Section titled “Radiesse”The December 22, 2006 original P050052 approval covered subdermal correction of moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds (FDA P050052 🔗).
Later indication-bearing supplements include:
- June 4, 2015: hand augmentation for volume loss in the dorsum of the hands (FDA P050052/S049 🔗)
- September 1, 2021: Radiesse (+) for deep augmentation of moderate-to-severe jawline contour loss in adults over 21 (FDA P050052/S129 🔗)
- March 31, 2026: Radiesse diluted 1:2 with 0.9% sterile saline for subdermal correction of décolleté wrinkles in patients 22 years and older (FDA P050052/S162 🔗)
The 2026 décolleté approval is an indication-specific preparation. It does not convert every diluted or hyperdiluted CaHA use into an approved US use.
Other core products
Section titled “Other core products”This review did not identify product-specific FDA approval records for Lanluma, AestheFill, Juvelook, or Ellansé in the FDA approved-filler and PMA sources reviewed.
That statement means only:
- do not cite an international CE mark, Korean product page, patent, study, or US distributor as FDA approval
- verify the FDA database again before making a current claim
- do not treat absence from this review as proof of market status or legality in an individual situation
The FDA advises clinicians to use FDA-approved fillers and notes that approved indications vary by exact product (FDA dermal-filler information 🔗).
US record check
Section titled “US record check”For a clinic record or publication, retain:
- PMA and supplement number
- decision date
- applicant
- approval-order statement
- current clinician and patient labeling
- whether the supplement changes indication or only manufacturing, packaging, or labeling
