Restore, Rebuild, Rejuvenate
Sculptra is not your typical dermal filler. Rather than just filling lines, it works deep within the skin to stimulate your body’s own natural collagen production, gradually restoring volume and improving skin integrity over time. Ideal for those seeking a subtle, progressive, and long-lasting rejuvenation, Sculptra helps rebuild what the years have taken away.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)—a collagen stimulator that has been safely used in medical applications for decades. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra encourages your body to produce its own collagen, creating natural-looking results that improve over weeks to months.
How It Works
- Injection: Sculptra is injected into the deep dermis where collagen loss has occurred.
- Stimulation: PLLA microparticles gradually stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen.
- Regeneration: Over time, collagen rebuilds the skin’s structural foundation, leading to improved volume, firmness, and texture.
- Long-Term Results: As the PLLA is absorbed, your body is left with natural collagen that can last up to 2+ years.
What Sculptra Treats
- Volume loss in cheeks and temples
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Jawline contouring
- Hollowed temples
- Skin laxity on the face, neck, and décolletage
- Non-surgical buttock and hip dip enhancement
- Chest, knees, and arms (for “crepey” skin)
What to Expect
- Series of treatments: Most patients need 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- Gradual transformation: Results appear subtly and progressively.
- No overfilled look: Because collagen builds gradually, the final outcome looks naturally youthful.
- Longevity: Results can last up to 24–36 months with proper skincare and maintenance.
