Sculptra® — Stimulate Your Own Collagen for Lasting Volume
Think of it as a subtle “scaffolding” rebuild—your face, but better over time.
What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is a biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that works differently than traditional fillers. Rather than simply adding volume, Sculptra® encourages your skin to produce its own collagen, gradually restoring facial structure, firmness, and youthful contours over several months.
Because it rebuilds your skin’s foundation from within, the results tend to look subtle, natural, and progressive.
Sculptra® Treatment Areas & Applications
Sculptra® is particularly well suited for:
- Cheeks & midface volume loss
- Temples
- Jawline & jowls
- Nasolabial folds / smile lines
- Marionette lines
- Chin and lower face shaping
- Skin texture / firmness improvement
It’s ideal when you want a natural, lasting lift across broader areas — not just spot corrections
How Sculptra® Works
- 1. Targeted Injection The formula is injected into specific facial layers (deep dermis / subcutaneous tissues).
- 2. Collagen Stimulation Over time, particles act as a stimulus for your body to create new collagen fibers.
- 3. Gradual Volume Build The collagen gradually occupies space, lifting and firming the skin in treated areas.
Because the effect is cumulative, you’ll see continued improvement over weeks to months.
What to Expect During Your Visit
- Consultation & Planning We’ll assess your facial anatomy, skin laxity, and volume loss, and design a customized treatment plan (how many sessions, how many vials).
- Preparation We cleanse, may apply numbing or topical anesthetic, and mark injection zones.
- Injection & Massage The provider injects Sculptra carefully, often layering it. Immediately after each injection, we gently massage the area to distribute the product evenly.
- Session Time Expect about 40-45 minutes for a typical session, depending on how many areas are treated.
- Series Protocol Most patients receive 2 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Results & Longevity
- You may notice some subtle effect within weeks, but the full result continues developing over 3–6 months as collagen builds.
- Effects can last up to 18–24 months, and in some cases longer, depending on metabolism, how many sessions you had, and how well you maintain skin health.
- Because Sculptra acts from within, the “wearing off” tends to be gradual and more natural than traditional fillers.
Aftercare & Tips for Best Outcome
- Immediately after treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising.
- Gentle massage of treated areas is crucial — typically 5 minutes, 5 times per day, for 5 days — to ensure even distribution and avoid irregularities.
- Avoid pressing, vigorous exercise, heavy heat or sun exposure, and alcohol for at least 24–48 hours.
- Keep your head elevated and sleep on your back if possible first night(s).
- Stay hydrated, maintain skin care, protect from UV.
- Be patient — the best effects come gradually.
