Gradual, Long-Lasting Facial Rejuvenation Through Collagen Stimulation
As we age, we naturally lose collagen, which leads to volume loss, sagging skin, and the formation of wrinkles. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra® is a collagen stimulator that works gradually to restore lost volume and improve skin quality over time. If you’re looking for a subtle, natural-looking enhancement with long-lasting results, Sculptra may be the perfect solution.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a material that gradually restores collagen production and rebuilds lost volume. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which offer immediate plumping, Sculptra works beneath the skin over several months, improving skin thickness, elasticity, and structure.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
- Restore volume loss in the cheeks, temples, and jawline
- Reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and folds
- Tighten and improve skin texture by boosting collagen production
- Enhance facial contours for a naturally youthful look
- Improve skin laxity in areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage
Precision Meets Personalization
What to Expect During Your Sculptra Treatment
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra results develop gradually over 3-6 months as new collagen forms. Most clients require a series of 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Before Your Treatment
Before receiving Sculptra, we recommend avoiding alcohol, blood thinners, and anti-inflammatory medications for at least 24-48 hours to minimize the risk of bruising. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your facial anatomy, skin condition, and lifestyle.
During the Procedure
A topical numbing agent may be applied to enhance comfort before injections begin. Sculptra is then injected into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production process. The treatment typically takes 30-45 minutes, and mild swelling is common immediately after.
Post-Treatment Care & Longevity
Mild swelling, redness, and bruising are possible but typically resolve within a few days. One of the most important post-treatment steps is the 5-5-5 massage rule:
- Massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to help evenly distribute the product and optimize results.
- Avoid excessive heat, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
- Hydration is key—drinking plenty of water helps with collagen production.
