Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that restores facial volume and smooths wrinkles by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant but temporary results, Sculptra works gradually, delivering subtle and long-lasting enhancements to your skin’s texture and structure. The effects can last up to two years or more, making it a versatile and cost-effective solution for facial rejuvenation.

How Does Sculptra® Work?

Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance that penetrates deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production.

• Injection Process: Sculptra is injected into targeted areas, such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
• Collagen Stimulation: The PLLA particles stimulate the body’s natural collagen production over time.
• Gradual Improvements: Over weeks and months, your skin gradually regains firmness and volume, reducing wrinkles and improving overall skin texture.

The treatment typically requires multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart, ensuring natural and subtle improvements with long-lasting results.

What Are the Benefits of Sculptra®?

Sculptra offers several unique advantages:

• Natural, Gradual Results: Enhances your appearance over time, avoiding an overfilled or artificial look.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Results last up to two years or more, making it a cost-effective option.
• Boosts Collagen Production: Rebuilds the skin’s structure from within, improving texture, tone, and elasticity.
• Versatility: Effectively treats multiple areas, including cheeks, temples, jawline, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines.
• Minimally Invasive: A non-surgical solution with minimal downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities quickly.

Who is Sculptra® for?

Sculptra is ideal for individuals who:

• Are experiencing volume loss, sagging skin, or deep facial wrinkles.
• Desire natural-looking results without undergoing surgery or frequent touch-ups.
• Want to restore fullness to areas like the cheeks, jawline, and temples.
• Prefer a gradual improvement in their appearance with long-lasting effects.

This treatment suits various skin types and is a great option for anyone seeking a youthful, refreshed look without invasive procedures.

Treatment Protocols for Sculptra®

• Consultation: A detailed assessment to create a personalized treatment plan.
• Number of Sessions: Typically, 2–3 sessions are recommended, spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
• Procedure Duration: Each session takes approximately 30–45 minutes.
• Aftercare: Follow the 5-5-5 rule—massage treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This helps evenly distribute the product.

Improvements become noticeable within weeks and continue to develop over several months as collagen levels increase.
