SCULPTRA

Sculptra is an injectable collagen stimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Instead of adding immediate volume like traditional fillers, it works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring facial structure and firmness over time.

Traditional fillers (like Restylane or Juvederm) add immediate volume using hyaluronic acid.

Sculptra works differently, it stimulates your skin to produce collagen, which gradually improves volume, skin thickness, and firmness over several months.

Sculptra is commonly used to treat:

• Cheeks
• Temples
• Jawline
• Smile lines
• Lower face volume loss
• Overall facial hollowing

It’s often used for global facial rejuvenation rather than small, isolated areas.

Results appear gradually over several weeks to months as your body produces new collagen. Many patients notice progressive improvement over 3–6 months.

Most patients need a series of 2–3 treatment sessions, spaced about 4–8 weeks apart. The exact number depends on age, degree of volume loss, and desired results.

Results can last up to two years or longer, making it one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments.

No. Because Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen, results tend to look very natural and subtle, improving facial structure over time rather than creating sudden volume.

Downtime is usually minimal. Patients may experience:

• Mild swelling
• Bruising
• Tenderness at injection sites

These effects typically resolve within a few days.

Sculptra has been used safely for many years and is FDA-approved for facial volume restoration. When injected properly by an experienced provider, it has a strong safety profile.

Yes. Sculptra is often combined with treatments like Botox, microneedling, or laser treatments to address both skin quality and facial structure.

Temporary fullness right after treatment is usually from the sterile water used to dilute the product and typically subsides within a few days.

Patients experiencing age-related volume loss, skin thinning, or facial hollowing are often excellent candidates.
