What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is the only FDA-approved injectable that works with your body to stimulate collagen growth using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). When injected deep into the dermis, the biocompatible PLLA microparticles are naturally absorbed, triggering an inflammatory response that activates fibroblasts. That helps stimulate the growth of collagen, the protein that naturally supports the skin’s inner structure and provides it with strength, elasticity, and youthful firmness. Rebuilt collagen strands help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, restore lost volume, and deliver more youthful, refreshed-looking skin.
What Can Sculptra Do for You?
Unlike most dermal fillers, Sculptra addresses the underlying causes of skin aging. By replenishing lost collagen, the breakthrough biostimulator restores lost volume and structure, restoring your skin’s naturally youthful appearance. Sculptra is versatile, addressing various concerns, such as smile lines, marionette lines, chin wrinkles, and temple hollows. It can also restore volume and correct contour deficiencies in the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
Aside from facial rejuvenation, Sculptra is ideal for cellulite correction, addressing skin laxity of the knees, elbow, and arms, and providing an alternative to surgical butt lifts. Our certified nurse injector will personalize your treatment to deliver your desired results, leaving you looking and feeling your best from every angle. The unique filler provides dramatic transformations with results lasting up to two years or even longer.
Sculptra FAQs
Our certified nurse injector will use an ultra-fine needle to inject Sculptra into targeted areas with minimal pain or discomfort. You may feel a little sore at the injection site, and you may have mild bruising or redness, which should resolve soon after treatment. You will not require downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine without interruption.
The collagen-building process is gradual, taking a few weeks up to a couple of months to show noticeable improvement. Your transformation will unfold for up to six months after treatment as the collagen production continues. You will look more youthful by the day! People will notice how great you look but will not be able to pinpoint what you have had done.
The ideal number of Sculptra sessions will vary from person to person. In general, most individuals require three treatments over the span of a few months to achieve their desired results. Your treatment outcomes can last two or more years, after which collagen production diminishes once again. Maintenance treatments will ensure you continue to enjoy your youthful, wrinkle-free appearance.
