Not a fan of looking like you “had work done”? We offer Sculptra® as a way to restore volume naturally – by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Instead of adding instant fullness that fades quickly, this injectable works gradually, helping your skin regain its structure over time.
If you are looking for subtle, long-lasting results, we can help you explore whether Sculptra® is the right choice.
What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that helps trigger collagen production. Instead of simply adding volume, it encourages the body to rebuild its natural support structure. Over time, this process restores fullness to areas that have lost volume, such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
Since Sculptra® stimulates collagen growth, results appear gradually. Most people need multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart to reach their desired look.
Benefits of Sculptra®
Sculptra® works with your body’s natural processes. Some of its key benefits include:
- Long-lasting effects: Unlike traditional fillers that require frequent touch-ups, Sculptra® provides long-lasting results with fewer treatments. Results can last up to two years or longer.
- Natural-looking improvement: Volume builds gradually, avoiding an overfilled look.
- Collagen stimulation: Helps improve skin structure over time rather than just filling specific areas.
- Non-surgical treatment: No incisions, minimal downtime, and a quick in-office procedure.
- No risk of migration: Unlike some fillers, Sculptra® integrates with the skin’s natural framework, reducing the chance of shifting or uneven results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Sculptra®?
Sculptra® may be a good option for adults who want to address age-related volume loss without surgery. Ideal candidates are generally in good health and have realistic expectations. Sculptra® is best for those looking for gradual improvements rather than instant results.
Sculptra® may not be right for you if you have a history of severe allergies, autoimmune disorders, or conditions that affect collagen production. If you have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area, you may need to wait until it clears before moving forward.
What to Expect from Sculptra® Treatment
A typical Sculptra® treatment session takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Your provider will inject Sculptra® in small amounts across the targeted areas. The number of sessions needed depends on your goals, but most people have two to three treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
After each session, you may have some mild swelling or bruising but should be able to resume your normal activities right away. Since Sculptra® stimulates collagen growth, your results will develop over a few months, improving gradually rather than all at once.
Sculptra® results can last up to two years or longer, depending on factors like your body’s collagen production, lifestyle, and the number of treatments received.
