SCULPTRA
COLLAGEN BIOSTIMULATORS
Sculptra® – Restore your natural collagen.
Discover the power of gradual, lasting collagen remodeling with Sculptra — a unique, non-surgical treatment designed to restore facial volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance your skin’s natural collagen production over time.
Collagen is a protein in our body that holds our skin together, giving it the firmness and bounce that defines youthful skin. As we age, our body produces less collagen, leading to volume loss and sagging. Although this natural process is inevitable, Sculptra offers a powerful solution.
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra is an injectable collagen bio-stimulator that works over time to restore volume from within. Its active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is injected beneath the skin where it stimulates the body’s natural collagen production deep in the dermis.
Whether you’re looking to soften signs of aging or maintain long-term facial structure, Sculptra delivers subtle, long-lasting results that evolve with you.

​
How long does Sculptra take to show results?
Sculptra results gradually appear over a few weeks. Most clients begin to see noticeable improvement within 4 to 6 weeks, with full, natural-looking results typically developing over the course of 2 to 3 months as collagen continues to rebuild.
How long do Sculptra results last?
Sculptra results are long-lasting, with many clients enjoying improved volume and skin texture for up to two years after completing their treatment series. Since Sculptra is designed to work progressively, a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.​
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results, but this can vary based on individual goals.
Do Sculptra injections hurt?
Sculptra injections are not considered a painful treatment. The procedure involves a series of small injections, with sensations typically described as a mild pinprick or pressure. To minimize discomfort, our injector will apply a topical numbing cream beforehand and may use ice afterward to ensure a more comfortable experience.
​
Does Sculptra have any down time?
Sculptra is generally well-tolerated and typically involve minimal downtime.
The most common side effects are mild and temporary, including:
- Swelling at the injection sites
- Redness or bruising in the treated areas
- Tenderness or itching around the injection sites
- Small lumps or bumps under the skin, which typically resolve on their own within a few days or weeks​
​Is Sculptra safe?
Yes, Sculptra is FDA-approved and has been used safely for years in both cosmetic and medical settings. It's biocompatible and gradually absorbed by the body. Sculptra has been recognized for its efficacy, earning the title of "Best Collagen-Stimulating Filler" in the 2024 NewBeauty Awards .
​
How should I prepare for my Sculptra treatment?
We recommend our clients to temporarily discontinue alcohol 3-5 days prior to the treatment, in addition to blood thinning medications or supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), Gingko Biloba, or Ginseng. This will help minimize any bruising after the procedure. Lastly, be sure to discuss any medical conditions or allergies with your provider.
​
What post-care steps should I follow after my Sculptra treatment?
After your Sculptra treatment, there are a few important post-care steps to ensure optimal results and minimize any side effects.
Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours to prevent disrupting the treatment. For the next few days, refrain from strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and hot environments like saunas. To help reduce swelling, you can apply a cold compress to the treated areas.
It’s essential to protect your skin from the sun to prevent any irritation or damage to the treated areas. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, especially if you're going outdoors.
