Sculptra is an FDA-approved, longer-lasting, and more gradual injectable dermal filler that works by activating cells deep into the dermis layers to help improve skin volume.
It works by replacing your face's collagen content, which brings back volume lost over time, reducing wrinkles and sagging skin while enhancing elasticity and a younger look.
Collagen is a protein manufactured in your body to keep your skin firm and youthful-looking. However, collagen production slows as you get older and face volume decreases. Sculptra can help to repair the imbalance by reactivating collagen production.
What is Sculptra Face used for?
This innovative approach can be used to progressively and discreetly smooth out lines, wrinkles, and folds, as well as to address face volume loss that might occur as a result of natural aging or significant weight loss.
Sculptra can be used to treat the following conditions:
- Deep lines, folds, and wrinkles - Gaunt cheeks, temples, and other hollow facial areas - Cheekbones for a more defined look - Sagging jowls
Sculptra Face is more than just a "face filler." It encourages collagen formation, which aids in the skin's natural renewal. The effects are gradual, natural-looking, and stay far longer than most other injectables.
Sculptra may be utilized on different parts of the face distinguishing it from the slew of dermal fillers. Other fillers have the disadvantage of just being able to treat certain parts of the face, such as the cheeks or the area around the eyes.
This groundbreaking dermal filler defies the trend by being able to be successfully used on practically any part of the face, including:
This filler may address the bulk of your anti-aging problems at once, perhaps eliminating the need for many procedures to attain your desired look. This filler may be thought of as a one-stop-shop for all of your anti-aging needs.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that involves injecting special serums into the skin's sub-dermal layers. Once administered, it works in the deep skin layer to rebuild volume resulting in a younger appearance to your face.
Sculptra stimulates your body's natural collagen production. The key component is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic, biodegradable substance that encourages collagen production in your skin.
As soon as the body absorbs the PLLA molecules, they begin to stimulate collagen formation. The newly formed collagen strands start to restore face volume and help give fullness to facial cavities like creases and folds over time - usually around six weeks. Because the injection does not create instant results, the effects are more gradual, discreet, and natural-looking.

Here are some commonly asked questions about Sculptra.
How long is a Sculptra treatment?
At least two to three 30-minute sessions are usually required for therapy. You may need several treatments to get your desired results, depending on the extent of your age-related skin issues.
Based on the study of your skin performed during your consultation session, one of our cosmetic specialists will identify the precise amount of treatments you will need.
Is a Sculptra treatment painful?
Treatment is painless because of the application of a topical anesthetic cream. To reduce swelling, an ice pack may be immediately applied after treatment.
When will I see the results from a Sculptra treatment?
Sculptra has a gradual effect, unlike other face filler treatments. Within six to eight weeks, you'll see an increase in volume, a reduction in folds and wrinkles, and a plumper, more youthful look.
How does Sculptra differ from Botox and other cosmetic fillers?
There are a variety of cosmetic fillers on the market, and it's vital to know the differences between them and how they fit into your anti-aging beauty routine. Sculptra differs from other injections in the following ways:
Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (collagen activator) injectable that works to gradually replenish missing collagen for up to two years.
Botox is a botulinum toxin injected into the face and immobilizes facial muscles for two to eight months, preventing wrinkles from appearing.
Other hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm, add volume to parts of the face or lips for up to six to12 months.
