Sculptra Aesthetic, an injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a bio-stimulator rather than a traditional dermal filler. Sold by the vial, not by the mL like dermal fillers, Sculptra is injected into treatment areas to softly and gradually restore lost volume by stimulating fibroblast activity for collagen production. While the Sculptra particles last about 6 months, active collagen production continues long after, with FDA approval indicating results lasting 2+ years.
Recommended regimens usually require at least 2 treatment sessions spaced at least 4 weeks apart. Optimal results from Sculptra typically become noticeable after a few treatment sessions as the skin gradually begins to build collagen. Aftercare for Sculptra involves massaging the treated area(s) for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to ensure the best results.
Sculptra is a fan-favorite but requires patience and is not suitable for rejuvenation around the eyes or mouth. Remember, the most natural rejuvenation occurs when skin, muscle, fat, and bone are each analyzed and addressed with multiple modalities (laser, neurotoxin, bio-stimulators, home care, etc.). Sculptra is an excellent tool in the graceful aging arsenal. Contact us to

Good candidates for Sculptra are individuals looking for a way to reduce wrinkles and facial volume loss. It is suitable for those who prefer a gradual improvement and are in good health without any active skin infections or allergies to the components of Sculptra.
Initial results from Sculptra can usually be seen after the first few treatment sessions, as collagen production begins to improve skin volume and texture. Full results are typically observed after several months as the body’s natural processes integrate with the treatment.
The results from Sculptra are durable, lasting up to two years in many cases. The longevity of the results depends on the patient’s skin condition, the area treated, and their age.
Sculptra has minimal downtime, allowing most patients to return to normal activities shortly after treatment. Side effects of injections include bruising, swelling, and tenderness.
Before receiving Sculptra, avoid taking blood-thinning medications and supplements to reduce the risk of bruising. After treatment, it is advised to avoid excessive sunlight and heat exposure according to your healthcare provider’s instructions.
During Sculptra treatment, you will receive a series of injections in the targeted areas of your face. The procedure is relatively quick, usually taking about 30 minutes. You may experience mild discomfort, but a topical anesthetic can manage pain associated with the injections.
