Sculptra Aesthetic
Stimulate your body's natural collagen for gradual, lasting rejuvenation
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable that works differently from traditional fillers by stimulating your body's own collagen production for gradual, natural-looking results that can last more than two years.
Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra is a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that has been used safely in medical products for decades. Rather than simply filling in wrinkles, Sculptra works within the deep dermis to stimulate collagen production, helping restore facial volume lost to aging.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra takes a different approach to facial rejuvenation:
The Collagen Stimulation Process
- Initial Treatment: Sculptra microparticles are injected into the deep dermis
- Stimulation: The PLLA particles stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen
- Gradual Results: Over weeks to months, new collagen replaces the PLLA as it absorbs
- Lasting Volume: The new collagen provides structural support and volume
Benefits of Sculptra
Natural Results
Gradual improvement that doesn't look "done" - people notice you look great, not that you've had work done.
Long-Lasting
Results can last more than 2 years, significantly longer than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.
Full-Face Treatment
Addresses overall facial volume loss rather than individual wrinkles for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Your Own Collagen
Results come from your body's own collagen, not a foreign substance sitting in your skin.
Treatment Areas
Sculptra is ideal for addressing overall facial volume loss in:
- Temples: Restore hollowed temples for a more youthful contour
- Cheeks: Rebuild midface volume and lift
- Nasolabial Folds: Soften deep smile lines
- Marionette Lines: Reduce lines from mouth to chin
- Chin: Add structure and definition
- Jawline: Restore definition and reduce jowling
- Pre-jowl Sulcus: Fill hollows along the jawline
Treatment Process
What to Expect
Sculptra typically requires a series of treatments for optimal results:
- Number of Sessions: Usually 2-3 treatment sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart
- Treatment Duration: Each session takes approximately 30-45 minutes
- Comfort: Topical or local anesthesia may be used; Sculptra can be mixed with lidocaine
- Post-Treatment Massage: You'll be instructed to massage treated areas daily for 5 days
- Results Timeline: Gradual improvement over 4-6 months as collagen builds
Results & Recovery
- Gradual Results: Full results appear over 4-6 months as new collagen forms
- Duration: Results last more than 2 years in most patients
- Downtime: Minimal; you may experience swelling, redness, or bruising for a few days
