Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen- the most common protein in the body that is used to form a framework to support cells and tissue.

What areas does Sculptra treat?

Sculptra is used to correct shallow to deep wrinkles and folds on the face as well as skin laxity in the chest and volume loss in the buttock.

How many treatments are required?

On average, a series of 3 treatments may be required over the course of a few months. The number of injections at each session does vary.

How soon will I see results?

Sculptra is designed to give you noticeable results that emerge gradually and can last anywhere from 5-7 years. You will start to see your skin’s natural collagen production after about 6-8 weeks but results can improve for up to 12 months!

How soon after treatment can I wear make up?

We recommend avoiding makeup use for at least 24- 48 hours to prevent the risk of infection.

Is Sculptra safe and what are the side effects?

Sculptra has been FDA-approved and used widely in the US since 1999. It is a synthetic material called poly-l-lactic acid that is absorbed naturally by the body and has been used for years in dissolvable stitches. Since it contains no human or animal contents, it is not required to complete allergy testing prior to treatment. Side effects may include pain at the injection site, redness, bruising, or tenderness.

What is the difference between filler and Sculptra?

Dermal Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid and are gel substances used to create support under the skin beneath wrinkles and creases. Results are immediate and usually last for 1-2 years. Collagen stimulators, such as Sculptra, are used to restore volume deep into the skin. Results are gradual and may require 1-3 injection sessions over the course of a few months. The collagen that is stimulated can last 5-7 years as your body loses its natural collagen.
