Sculptra®

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra works gradually, offering a subtle and natural-looking enhancement over time.


How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that, when injected into the skin, stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a vital protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and volume loss. By promoting collagen growth, Sculptra helps to: 
  • Smooth out facial wrinkles and folds.
  • Restore lost facial volume.
  • Improve skin texture and firmness.  
The treatment involves a series of injections administered over a few months, allowing for gradual and long-lasting results. 
Common Treatment Areas
Sculptra is commonly used to address: 
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin)
  • Chin wrinkles
  • Hollow cheeks and temples
  • Jawline definition
It’s also utilized for non-facial areas, such as the buttocks, in non-surgical butt lift procedures. 

When Will I See Results?

Sculptra’s effects are not immediate. Initial improvements may be noticed within a few weeks, but the full benefits typically become apparent after 3 to 6 months as collagen production increases. The results can last up to two years, making Sculptra a long-term solution for facial rejuvenation.

Is Sculptra Safe?
Yes, Sculptra is considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. It has been used worldwide since 1999 and is FDA-approved. As with any injectable treatment, some side effects may occur, including:  
  • Redness or swelling at the injection site
  • Bruising or tenderness
  • Small lumps under the skin
These side effects are typically mild and resolve on their own within a few days.

How many Sculptra treatments will I need?

Most patients require 2 to 3 treatment sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on individual goals and the areas being treated.

Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?

Yes, Sculptra can be combined with other cosmetic procedures like Botox or dermal fillers to enhance overall facial rejuvenation.

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

Downtime is minimal. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some swelling or bruising may occur but typically subsides within a few days.

How long do the results last?

The results from Sculptra can last up to two years. Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the desired outcome.

Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?

Individuals looking to restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles without surgery are ideal candidates. A consultation with a qualified provider will determine if Sculptra is suitable for you.
