Sculptra
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating treatment designed to gently restore your skin’s natural support. Made with Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), it works beneath the surface to gradually replenish lost volume, improve skin firmness, and soften fine lines and wrinkles. By encouraging your body’s own collagen production, Sculptra helps you achieve results that look refreshed, natural, and beautifully timeless.
What are the targeted areas?
Sculptra is most often used to restore structure, lift, and youthful definition in areas where collagen naturally diminishes over time, including:
- Cheeks – replenish volume and create a natural lift
- Temples – soften hollowing for a refreshed look
- Jawline – improve definition and support sagging skin
- Chin – restore balance and contour
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds) – smooth and soften deeper creases
- Marionette lines – reduce shadows around the mouth
What is the Treatment Timeline?
Downtime is minimal. You may notice some swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these typically resolve within a few days. Most patients need a series of 2–3 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal collagen stimulation and natural-looking outcomes. Sculptra can provide results that last up to two years or more, depending on your skin and treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra is not a traditional filler. Instead, it stimulates your body’s own collagen production, gradually rebuilding the skin’s foundation for results that look natural and long-lasting.
When will I see results?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, results with Sculptra appear gradually. You’ll notice improvements in skin firmness and volume over the course of several weeks to months as new collagen forms.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may notice some swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these typically resolve within a few days.
Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?
Sculptra is ideal for patients who want a more subtle, gradual restoration of volume rather than an immediate filler effect. It’s also great for improving skin quality, laxity, and fine lines.
Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Sculptra pairs beautifully with neuromodulators, hyaluronic acid fillers, and skin treatments like lasers or microneedling for comprehensive rejuvenation.
