WHAT IS IT?
Sculptra is an injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume lost due to aging while stimulating collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Sculptra gradually and subtly corrects facial wrinkles and folds. Made from poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic material, Sculptra is naturally absorbed by the body as it works to replace lost collagen.
HOW IT WORKS
Sculptra (PLLA) is a bio-stimulating treatment that addresses the underlying causes of aging skin, primarily collagen loss. Once injected into the face, Sculptra stimulates the natural growth of new collagen. This leads to the gradual restoration of facial volume and a dramatic improvement in skin texture. Results become noticeable after 2-4 sessions, depending on individual concerns.
HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?
Subtle results from Sculptra injections can typically be seen within a month. These results continue to build as new collagen takes up to 6 months to form. The effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 years, depending on individual metabolism and skin characteristics.
Results are maximized with appropriate dosing. 1 vial per decade of life is the recommending dosing.
What to expect during your Sculptra treatment?
The appointment itself takes an hour. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, so discomfort is manageable. Lidocaine is also applied through injection as well.
Afterward, mild swelling, redness, or bruising is normal and usually resolves within 7–10 days. Your face will appear fuller after treatment, resolving after 2 days. We will review your post care protocol which involves managing residual bruising and massaging treated areas. Ice can help with swelling on treatment day, and it's best to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours.
Most patients need 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart to see full results, as collagen builds gradually. Once results peak, they can last up to two years.
