Sculptra® is a unique type of injectable treatment designed to gradually restore facial volume by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that add immediate volume, Sculptra works subtly over time to rebuild the skin’s structure, improving firmness and fullness for a more youthful appearance.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that encourages collagen growth beneath the skin. This process helps to smooth deep wrinkles, hollow areas and volume loss caused by aging or other factors—resulting in natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.
Ideal Candidates for Sculptra®
Sculptra is an excellent option for those looking to:
- Restore volume in the cheeks and temples
- Improve the appearance of deep facial folds and wrinkles
- Rejuvenate hollow areas
- Achieve gradual, natural-looking facial enhancement without surgery
Because the effects develop gradually over several months, Sculptra is particularly appealing to patients who prefer subtle, progressive improvements rather than immediate, dramatic changes.
What To Expect During Treatment
Treatment typically involves a series of injections spaced several weeks apart, tailored to your individual needs. Sessions are performed comfortably in-office with topical numbing to minimize discomfort. Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
Results and Longevity
Sculptra’s collagen-stimulating effects unfold over 2 to 4 months, with continued improvement up to a year. Results can last two years or longer, making it one of the longest-lasting non-surgical facial rejuvenation options.
