What is Sculptra?

Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable treatment primarily made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), the same biodegradable material found in dissolvable stitches.

When injected into the skin, PLLA assists your body in producing its own collagen, a protein that’s key to maintaining a youthful facial volume and reducing the appearance of fine lines, facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

Benefits

Sculptra aids in collagen growth, enhancing facial volume and reducing signs of aging. Unlike a facelift or plastic surgery, Sculptra treatment involves minimal downtime. Plus, the results are more gradual and natural-looking, making Sculptra a preferred choice for many individuals seeking facial rejuvenation.

Why We Use Sculptra for Facial Rejuvenation

Sculptra stands apart from other dermal fillers due to its unique ability to stimulate your skin’s own collagen production. Over time, the Sculptra injections are naturally absorbed by your body, leaving behind your own natural collagen. The result is a fuller, more youthful appearance with results that can last between two to three years.

Ideal Candidates for Sculptra

Good candidates for Sculptra are men and women over the age of 18 who are looking for a non-surgical treatment to address signs of aging and volume loss in the skin. If you want to cultivate a more youthful, refreshed look gradually over time and are in general good health, Sculptra fillers could be the right fit for you.

Our Sculptra clients typically have the following characteristics or concerns:

Facial wrinkles, fine lines and folds
Loss of facial volume, especially in the mid-face and jawline area
Marionette lines
Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines

However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for Sculptra. It is not recommended for people who have a known allergy to any ingredient of Sculptra, are pregnant or breastfeeding or who have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring.

It’s essential to have a detailed discussion with your healthcare provider to evaluate whether Sculptra is the right treatment option for you.

Before & Afters

Immediately following your Sculptra injections, you may notice some initial plumping in the treated area. However, the full effects of Sculptra will become evident over the following weeks as your skin begins to produce new collagen. The full rejuvenation effects typically become visible after a few treatment sessions.

What to Expect from Your Sculptra Treatment

At your appointment, we’ll begin with a consultation to ensure Sculptra is the right treatment for you. During the procedure, your provider will apply an anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Then, using a fine needle, Sculptra will be injected into the targeted areas. The procedure is quick and involves minimal downtime.

Recovery and aftercare

Some minor side effects such as swelling or redness at the injection site may be observed. However, these are temporary and usually subside within a few days. Post-treatment care instructions will be provided to ensure optimal results and minimize any discomfort.

FAQs

How safe is Sculptra?

Sculptra is FDA-approved and has a well-established safety profile. As with any treatment, there may be some side effects, which will be discussed during your consultation. For best results, visit a reputable medical spa where your injections will be performed by an experienced provider.

How many Sculptra treatments will I need?

The number of Sculptra treatment sessions varies by individual. Typically, a series of 2-3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

How soon can I see results?

While some initial plumping may be seen immediately, the full effects of Sculptra are typically visible after a few treatment sessions as your skin produces new collagen.

What makes Sculptra different from other dermal fillers?

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which instantly increase volume, Sculptra’s effects slowly develop over time for a more natural result.

Is Sculptra the same as Botox?

While both Sculptra and Botox are used for facial rejuvenation, they work differently. Botox relaxes muscles to smooth wrinkles, while Sculptra stimulates collagen production to restore facial volume.
