What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a brand name for an injectable dermal filler primarily used for facial rejuvenation and volumization. The active ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which provide immediate results by adding volume to the treatment area, Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production over time. This collagen-building process helps improve the structure, elasticity, and overall quality of the skin.

Sculptra is known as a “collagen stimulator” because it encourages the body to produce more collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structural support to the skin, making it appear firmer and more youthful.

Which areas can be treated?

Sculptra is commonly used to address concerns related to facial volume loss, wrinkles, and skin laxity. It is particularly effective in areas like the cheeks, temples, jawline, décolletage, thighs and abdomen.

How soon can I see the results?

Unlike some other fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra requires a series of injections spaced over several months. The results develop gradually as the body’s collagen production increases.

How long will the results last?

Sculptra’s results can last for an extended period, often up to two years or more, because it promotes the natural production of collagen. However, maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain the benefits.

How is the treatment done?

Sculptra is typically administered by our trained healthcare professional. The product is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. Multiple sessions may be necessary, depending on the desired outcome.

Are there any side effects?

Common side effects of Sculptra injections include swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days.

Do I need to do a consultation before treatment?

Before undergoing Sculptra treatment, it’s essential to have a consultation with our qualified provider who can assess your specific concerns, discuss the treatment plan, and determine if Sculptra is the right option for you.

What is the cost?

The cost of Sculptra treatment can vary depending on the number of sessions required and the provider’s fees. It’s advisable to discuss pricing and payment options during your consultation.

How safe is this treatment?

Sculptra is generally considered safe when administered by trained professionals. However, it’s crucial to choose a reputable and experienced provider to minimize the risk of complications.
