Sculptra

Sculptra Aesthetic is a prescription injectable that works with the body's natural processes to support collagen production. It contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material, which is injected into the deeper layers of the skin to address facial volume changes and for skin tightening.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable that works gradually to restore facial volume and improve skin quality from within. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra works gradually over time. Multiple sessions, typically two to three treatments spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart, may be recommended to achieve the desired outcome. Individual responses and treatment results vary, and a consultation is required to determine whether this approach is appropriate for you.

All treatments are performed by a qualified medical professional who assesses facial anatomy, medical history, and treatment suitability. As with any injectable procedure, potential side effects include swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, and rare complications may occur.

A consultation with a licensed injector is necessary to discuss expected outcomes, risks, and whether Sculptra is appropriate for your individual needs.

It is super versatile and can be used as:

  • Cosmetic Injectable
  • Biostimulator
  • Skin Tightening

How Sculptra Works

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that works in the deeper layers of the skin. Rather than adding volume directly, it stimulates the body's own collagen production gradually over time. This is what makes results look natural.

Sculptra may be a good fit for you if any of the following resonate:

  • You want a more youthful appearance without looking "done"
  • You need a "framework" to which hyaluronic acid fillers can be layered upon
  • You are concerned with hollowness and/or loss of volume and want a more cost-effective option
  • You want to reverse aging in the chest, hands, neck, and buttocks

What to Expect

Day 1 (Your Appointment)

Treatment takes about one hour. Afterwards most patients can return to normal activity. There may be some swelling, tenderness and mild to moderate bruising. Generally 1 to 2 vials are injected at a time. Total vials needed depends on your level of volume loss.

Day 1-5

After the procedure, patients needs to follow the 5-5-5 formula. The injected area should be gently massaged 5 times a day for 5 minutes for at least 5 days.

Results

Results are not immediate. Generally takes 3-6 months to start seeing results but patients will still continue to see improvements through 9 months. At this time full results are seen. Sculptra will last up to 2 years once the series of treatments are completed.
