Boost Collagen Production & Reverse Signs of Aging

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that gradually restores facial volume and smooths wrinkles by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate results, Sculptra works over time to improve skin elasticity and structure. Made from poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra is ideal for treating deep facial wrinkles, hollow cheeks, and skin laxity. It’s commonly used to address nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and volume loss associated with aging. The results appear gradually and can last up to two years.

Sculptra is Best For:

  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin)
  • Hollow or sunken cheeks
  • Volume loss due to aging
  • Chin wrinkles and creases
  • Acne scars and depressions
  • General skin laxity and sagging

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production. When injected into the deeper layers of the skin, PLLA particles trigger a localized inflammatory response, encouraging the body to produce new collagen fibers. Over time, this collagen replenishes lost facial volume and improves skin elasticity, leading to smoother, firmer skin. Unlike traditional fillers that offer immediate effects, Sculptra’s gradual collagen synthesis provides long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Benefits of Sculptra:

  • Stimulates natural collagen production
  • Gradual, natural-looking results
  • Long-lasting effects, up to two years
  • Suitable for deep wrinkles and volume loss
  • Non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment
  • Enhances skin elasticity and firmness
  • Can treat large areas of the face
  • Minimal side effects and no downtime

How is Sculptra Administered?

Sculptra is administered through a series of small injections into the targeted areas of the face. The treatment begins with a consultation, during which the aesthetic provider assesses your skin and determines the appropriate injection sites. A topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. Using a fine needle, Sculptra is injected into the deeper layers of the skin, where it gradually stimulates collagen production. The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes.

What is the Recovery Process?

After Sculptra, you may experience mild side effects like swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically subside within a few days. There’s little to no downtime, so you can resume most daily activities immediately. To optimize your results, it’s important to massage the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five days post-treatment, and avoid excessive sun exposure and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.

What Results Can I Expect?

With Sculptra, you can expect gradual, natural-looking improvements in skin volume and texture. Most patients require 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating collagen production, so results appear gradually over 2-3 months.

As your body rebuilds collagen, you’ll notice smoother skin, reduced wrinkles, and restored facial volume. These results can last up to two years, making Sculptra a long-lasting option for facial rejuvenation.
