Sculptra is an innovative, FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to restore volume and stimulate collagen production, both in the face and body.
Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually, stimulating your body’s natural collagen to restore fullness and smooth out wrinkles over time. It’s perfect for treating areas with volume loss, including the face and body, for a natural, refreshed appearance.
Sculptra is sold by the vial. It is generally recommended that patients receive one vial of Sculptra per decade of age for optimal results. Book an aesthetic consultation to determine your proper dose.
Your Sculptra appointment begins with an in-depth consultation where your provider will assess your skin concerns and discuss your aesthetic goals. During the procedure, the Sculptra is injected into targeted areas of the face using fine needles or cannulas. The process is minimally invasive and typically takes 60 minutes. For your comfort, numbing agents may be applied to the treatment areas. Patients can resume most daily activities immediately following the procedure, although some mild swelling or redness may occur.
The Results
Sculptra offers a gradual and natural enhancement by boosting your body’s own collagen production. This treatment is ideal for addressing volume loss, softening facial lines, and improving skin texture and elasticity. Results develop over several weeks and can last up to two years, providing long-term rejuvenation with minimal maintenance. Sculptra is also versatile, suitable for various areas of the face, and customizable to your unique needs.
