Sculptra® Treatment

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production to restore facial volume and improve skin texture. It provides gradual, long-lasting results for a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

How It Works

Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid, which encourages collagen growth over time. Unlike traditional fillers, it works beneath the skin’s surface to rebuild structural support, reducing wrinkles and enhancing facial contours.

What to Expect

Treatment involves a series of injections, typically completed in 2-3 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but usually resolves within a few days.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements one week before treatment
• Refrain from alcohol 24 hours prior
• Inform your provider of any allergies or medical conditions

Post-Treatment Care

• Massage the treated areas gently for 5 minutes, 5 times daily for 5 days
• Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24-48 hours
• Maintain good skincare and sun protection

Results and Frequency

Results appear gradually over several weeks as collagen builds, with full effects visible at about 3-6 months. Maintenance treatments every 1-2 years help sustain results.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Sculptra® is ideal for healthy adults seeking natural-looking facial rejuvenation without surgery. It is best suited for those with volume loss, wrinkles, or skin laxity and who desire subtle, progressive improvement.
