Sculptra is an injectable treatment that works by stimulating collagen production in the skin, resulting in a more youthful and lifted appearance. The gradual increase in collagen production over time leads to natural-looking results that can last for up to two years.
Sculptra is most commonly used for the nasolabial folds, aka ‘smile lines’. Other areas that can see great improvement from Sculptra treatments are:
Sculptra’s unique collagen-stimulating formula leads to gradual yet long-lasting improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and volume. You’ll enjoy a more youthful and radiant look for up to two years without the need for frequent touch-ups or maintenance.
Unlike other aesthetic treatments, Sculptra works with your body’s natural processes to create subtle and natural-looking improvements in your appearance. By gradually restoring volume and fullness, Sculptra can help you look like a refreshed and more youthful version of yourself.
Sculptra has been FDA-approved for collagen stimulation and can help restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles and fine lines. This means that you can feel confident that you’re undergoing a safe and effective treatment that has undergone rigorous testing and clinical trials.
Sculptra is a non-surgical treatment that involves a series of injections. The procedure is minimally invasive, requires little to no downtime, and typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. This makes it a convenient option for those with busy schedules who want to see results without the need for invasive surgery.
Although administered similarly, hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers and Sculptra injections work differently. Dermal fillers, like Restylane and RHA, directly restore lost volume by introducing a gel that maintains its shape within the skin. On the other hand, Sculptra functions as a collagen stimulator, and its outcomes become noticeable gradually over a few months.
Sculptra is injected into the skin, where the poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) contained in Sculptra forms a framework that helps support and maintain the skin’s inner structure. Once absorbed, Sculptra helps stimulate and restore your own natural collagen production.
The increase in volume within the treated areas becomes apparent over the course of several months. To achieve the best results, it is often recommended to undergo two or more treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart. Results are typically softer and more natural compared to dermal fillers, and can last up to two years.
The length of a Sculptra treatment can vary depending on the number of injections needed. Typically, a treatment takes 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Patients may need multiple treatments, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
While Sculptra injections can be slightly uncomfortable, most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream helps minimize discomfort.
The number of Sculptra treatments needed to see results can vary depending on the individual patient’s needs and goals. Most patients require multiple treatments, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Results from Sculptra are gradual and generally take a few months to fully appear.
Sculptra helps stimulate your body’s natural ability to generate collagen, making it challenging to pinpoint an exact timeframe for results. While many patients begin noticing changes within a few weeks, it’s important to note that the initial post-procedure plumpness may diminish as swelling subsides and the water introduced with poly-L-lactic acid is absorbed, restoring your appearance to its pre-injection state. However, as the ongoing collagen production takes effect, visible improvements become apparent over time.
Results from Sculptra are gradual and can take several weeks or even months to fully appear. However, the results are long-lasting and can last up to two years. Sculptra helps to stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can help to maintain a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.
After undergoing Sculptra treatment, the majority of patients find themselves able to seamlessly resume their regular daily routines. While it’s common to encounter minor swelling at the injection site on the day of the procedure, overall, Sculptra is renowned for its minimal downtime, akin to HA fillers.
Mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, injection site pain, itching, bleeding, and lumps are common side effects of Sculptra. However, these side effects typically subside within a few days. Your provider will give you detailed instructions for after-care to help minimize side effect and improve outcomes.
