Overview

Sculptra is a unique injectable that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to gradually improve skin texture and firmness over time. It’s particularly effective for addressing volume loss, deep facial wrinkles, and hollowed cheeks. The treatment provides subtle, natural-looking results that develop progressively over several months, offering a youthful, rejuvenated appearance with minimal downtime.

Concerns Treated:

  • Volume loss in the cheeks and temples
  • Deep facial wrinkles and folds
  • Hollow areas around the eyes and cheeks
  • Loss of skin elasticity and firmness
  • Gradual skin thinning due to aging
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Loss of definition in the jawline
  • Sunken areas in the mid-face
  • Overall facial contour irregularities

How It Works

Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance, to stimulate collagen production. When injected into the dermis, PLLA microspheres gradually trigger a natural inflammatory response, leading to collagen synthesis. Over several months, this collagen buildup restores facial volume, smooths wrinkles, and improves skin texture. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra’s effects develop progressively, offering a more subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation as the skin’s structure renews from within.

Benefits:

  • Gradual, natural-looking results that develop over time
  • Stimulates collagen production for long-lasting improvement
  • Subtle enhancement of facial volume and texture
  • Minimal downtime with non-invasive treatment
  • Customizable treatment for individual needs and areas
  • Long-lasting effects, often lasting up to 2 years
  • Improves overall skin quality, not just specific wrinkles

Your Experience

Treatment

During your Sculptra treatment, our skilled provider will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Next, they will inject Sculptra into targeted areas using fine needles. The treatment typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being addressed, following which you can resume normal activities immediately.

Recovery

After your Sculptra treatment, you might experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days. You can return to your normal activities immediately, as no downtime is required. However, you must avoid strenuous workouts and direct sunlight for a day or two to ensure optimal results.

Results

You’ll start to notice improvements from Sculptra within a few weeks, with optimal results developing gradually over several months as collagen builds up. The effects typically last up to 2 years, depending on individual factors. To achieve and maintain the best results, your provider may recommend a series of treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
