Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sculptra made of?
Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable compound that works to stimulate collagen production in the skin.
How long does it take to see results?
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra results develop gradually as your body produces collagen. Most patients notice improvements within a few weeks, with optimal results typically seen after the recommended series of treatments.
How long do the results last?
Sculptra results can last up to two years, making it a long-term solution for facial rejuvenation.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs and treatment goals. Most patients require 2–3 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. It is recommended that patients begin with one vial per decade of age, and then additional vials as needed to upkeep their desired results.
Is there any downtime?
Sculptra is minimally invasive with little to no downtime. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days.
