About Sculptra
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra® is an injectable treatment composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra works gradually to restore facial volume and smooth out wrinkles and folds, offering subtle, long-lasting improvement in overall skin quality and firmness.
Personalized Treatment Plans
During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your aesthetic goals and facial anatomy to determine if Sculptra is appropriate for your needs. A custom treatment plan will be developed based on your goals, with full results developing over 3–6 months.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is injected into the deeper layers of the skin, where it promotes the regeneration of collagen — the protein responsible for skin’s structure and elasticity. As collagen builds over time, clients experience natural-looking volume restoration and visible improvement in skin tone and texture. Most treatment plans include a series of 2–4 sessions spaced over several weeks.
Long-Lasting Results
Initial results can become visible within a few weeks, with continued collagen stimulation improving volume and skin quality for months. Results may last up to two years, depending on individual metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment plan.
