ABOUT SCUPLTRA

Sculptra is an injectable that helps restore facial volume that has been lost due to aging and stimulates collagen production. It is different from HA fillers because it gradually and subtly corrects facial wrinkles and folds.

Sculptra is made from a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body as it works to replace lost collagen.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra (PLLA) is a bio-stimulating treatment. Sculptra works by addressing the underlying cause of aging skin from loss of collagen. Once injected in the face, Sculptra stimulates the natural growth of new collagen. This leads to restoration of facial volume over time and a dramatic improvement of the skin texture. Results are natural and become noticeable after 2-4 sessions (based on individual concerns).

how it works

Which filler Is best for me?

During your consultation, your injector and skincare expert will address your skin concerns, discuss your goals and then recommend whether Sculptra is the best dermal filler for you, based on your unique needs.

How long do results last?

Subtle results can typically be seen within a month of Sculptra injection. These results will continue to build as new collagen can take up to 6 months to form. Sculptra can last up to 2 years (but it depends on each patients’ metabolism and skin).

FAQs

  • Sculptra is primarily used to enhance and restore volume to sunken cheeks or temples and provide support to reduce jowls. It is also used to treat deep lines, creases, and wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines.

  • Most patients require 2-3 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. However, the number of injections and sessions may vary based on individual needs and the degree of correction desired.

  • Unlike immediate wrinkle fillers, Sculptra works gradually. Visible improvements are usually noticeable after a few weeks, as the collagen production increases, with more significant results appearing after a few months and continues to improve for years.

  • Common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, and pain at the injection site. Less commonly, small bumps under the skin can form, which may be noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Most side effects are mild and resolve within a few days.

  • The effects of Sculptra are long-lasting, typically sustaining for two to three years, depending on factors like the patient’s age, lifestyle, and how their body responds to the treatment.

  • Sculptra is suitable for individuals who want to improve facial volume and decrease wrinkles and folds without undergoing surgery. Ideal candidates are typically those experiencing moderate to severe facial volume loss and in good overall health.
