Benefits of Sculptra
Sculptra treatments offer customizable facial enhancements and can treat a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:Â
- Facial Volume Loss: Sculptra can reshape sagging skin around the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
- Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Collagen production enhanced by Sculptra is particularly effective in nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles.
- Facial Contouring: Sculptra enhances facial contours by adding volume to specific areas, such as the cheeks, to create a more youthful and sculpted appearance.
- Sunken Under Eyes: The added volume and cellular regeneration can help fill in hollow areas under the eyes and brighten dark circles.Â
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra stimulates the body’s natural collagen production process by gradually releasing poly-L-lactic acid into the skin. These acids act as a stepping stone for the body to increase collagen growth and tissue regeneration over time. As collagen levels increase, the surface and dermal layers of the skin become stronger, filling out lines and smoothing overall texture.Â

Sculptra FAQs
How long does Sculptra last?Sculptra offers results that can last up to two years or more with proper treatment and maintenance. Unlike some other injectable treatments that provide immediate but temporary results, Sculptras effects develop gradually over time as collagen production increases in the skin. Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?Ideal candidates for Sculptra are healthy individuals with realistic expectations who are struggling with volume loss in the face, fine lines and wrinkles, hollow areas under the eyes, or sagging skin around the jawline, cheeks, and temples. It’s also beneficial for patients looking for subtle results over time. We also find it is a great treatment for those that are experiencing more rapid weight loss from the injectable weight loss medications that are commonly used today. What does Sculptra do to your face?When injected into specific areas of the face like the cheeks, temples, and jawline, Sculptra enhances facial contours. Over time, facial features will appear more youthful-looking. Does Sculptra lift jowls?While it may not provide the same level of lifting effect as surgical procedures like a facelift, Sculptra can help minimize the sagging and drooping associated with jowls by adding volume. However, for more significant jowl correction, additional treatments or complementary procedures may be recommended. Can one session of Sculptra be enough?While it is true that patients will see some immediate improvements, optimal results typically require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions a patient undergoes depends on the extent of volume loss and the desired outcome. Are the results of Sculptra permanent?While Sculptra provides long-lasting results, the effects are not permanent. However, despite not being permanent, Sculptra offers a durable and effective solution for facial rejuvenation and enhancement. How often should I receive Sculptra treatment?The results of Sculptra tend to last 2-3 years but we recommend doing a maintenance treatment annually after the initial treatment sessions What is the downside to Sculptra?There are very few downsides to Sculptra, but the results typically tend to show up gradually over time as collagen builds up, multiple treatment sessions are usually needed, and you may experience some initial swelling and bruising after the injections for 5-7 days. Is Sculptra better than fillers?Whether Sculptra or dermal fillers are right for you depends on the goals you’re looking to achieve. Sculptra is a bioregenerative treatment and stimulates collagen over time while dermal fillers have more immediate results but can have limitations depending on how much volume loss a person has., If you’re looking for more immediate results, dermal fillers may be a better option for you. A consultation in office is always the best way to determine what option is best. And often patients even need a combination of both! What is Sculptra?Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid injectable treatment that stimulates collagen production, increases facial volume, contours specific areas of the face, and improves skin texture. |
