Sculptra Injections
Sculptra Injections
Sculptra is an FDA-approved dermal filler that uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate collagen production, providing a natural, long-lasting solution for facial volume loss, sagging skin, and wrinkles. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually over time to restore the skin’s inner structure, making it a popular choice for facial rejuvenation, lifting, and contouring.
Benefits
- Natural Volume Restoration: Gradually restores lost facial volume, providing subtle and natural-looking results without an overfilled appearance.
- Long-Lasting Results: Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra’s collagen-stimulating effects can last for 2 years or more.
- Stimulates Collagen: Enhances skin texture, tone, and firmness by boosting collagen production, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
- Versatile Treatment: Suitable for various areas, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, and chin, as well as for non-surgical buttock augmentation.
Who Benefit?
- Individuals with Volume Loss: Those experiencing age-related volume loss in areas such as the cheeks, temples, or under-eye area will benefit from Sculptra’s gradual volumizing effects.
- Patients Seeking Long-Lasting Results: Ideal for individuals who prefer longer-lasting effects compared to other fillers, with results that continue to improve over time.
- Those with Skin Laxity: People looking to improve mild to moderate skin laxity will find Sculptra useful in firming and tightening skin.
- Non-Surgical Augmentation Seekers: Sculptra is a popular option for patients seeking subtle, non-surgical enhancements, like buttock contouring or lifting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sculptra’s results are gradual, with visible improvements starting around 4–6 weeks after each treatment session as collagen builds. Full results often appear a few months after the last session.
The collagen-stimulating effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 years or longer, depending on
factors like lifestyle, age, and skincare habits.
While some initial fullness may appear immediately due to the injection volume, this effect
subsides as the water in the product absorbs. The long-term volume increase occurs
gradually as collagen forms.
Sculptra can be safely combined with other treatments like Botox, hyaluronic acid fillers,
or laser treatments to enhance overall results, though a provider should guide the timing
and combination.
Sculptra is not recommended for those with allergies to any of its ingredients, active skin
infections, or certain autoimmune conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should
also avoid this treatment.
