Skip to content With Sculptra®, you can restore facial volume and improve skin quality by boosting collagen production. This innovative procedure offers gradual, natural-looking results with long-lasting effects. Sculptra® not only addresses facial volume loss but also helps improve skin texture and firmness.
Before Treatment
During your consultation, your provider will examine the shape and condition of your face, as well as your aesthetic goals, to figure out if Sculptra® is right for you. In order to reduce the risk of bruising, do not take blood thinners, including aspirin and alcohol, for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
During Treatment
The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes. Your provider will inject Sculptra® into targeted areas of the face using a fine needle. In order to ensure your comfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic may be applied.
After Treatment
As soon as the procedure is completed, you can resume your normal activities. Bruising, swelling, or redness at injection sites is common and should subside within a few days. Massage the treated areas as instructed by your provider to ensure the product is distributed evenly.
Sculptra® stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, providing gradual, long-lasting results. Traditional fillers add volume immediately but typically don’t last as long.
The procedure is generally reported to be comfortable by most patients. It may be necessary to apply a topical anesthetic to enhance comfort.
For optimal results, most patients require 3-4 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Based on your specific needs, your provider will create a personalized treatment plan for you.
Results develop gradually over several months as your body produces new collagen. Most patients see noticeable improvements within 3-6 months after their treatment series.
Results from Sculptra® can last up to 2 years or more, making it one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available.
Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days. The treatment is unlikely to cause serious side effects when performed by a qualified professional.
