Most Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?

The ideal candidate for Sculptra is someone looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss without a plastic surgery or a facelift. It is well-suited for a wide range of skin types and ages, especially for those desiring gradual, natural-looking results. During your consultation, our specialists will assess if Sculptra is the right choice for you based on your aesthetic goals and skin condition.

Is Sculptra safe?

Sculptra is FDA-approved and has a strong safety record. As with any injectable treatment, there are potential side effects, such as temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. However, serious side effects are rare. It is crucial to receive Sculptra treatments from a qualified and experienced provider to ensure the highest safety standards.

What makes Sculptra different from other dermal fillers?

Sculptra is unique because it doesn't just fill wrinkles and lines temporarily; it stimulates your body's own collagen production for a more natural and long-lasting result. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane® that instantly plump wrinkles, Sculptra works gradually to restore facial volume and improve skin texture from within, offering results that can last up to two years or more.

How long do the results of Sculptra last?

The results of Sculptra are both significant and long-lasting. Many patients enjoy a more youthful appearance for up to two years after their treatment series. The longevity of Sculptra's results is due to its ability to stimulate your body's natural collagen production, gradually enhancing your skin's appearance over time.

Is there any downtime after a Sculptra treatment?

Sculptra treatments are designed to be minimally invasive, allowing most patients to return to their daily activities shortly after their session. While some might experience temporary swelling or bruising at the injection sites, these side effects typically subside quickly.

How many Sculptra treatment sessions will I need?

The number of Sculptra treatment sessions needed varies based on individual goals and the condition of the skin. Most patients achieve optimal results with two to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. During your consultation, your specialist will create a tailored treatment plan to meet your specific needs.

Can Sculptra be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes, Sculptra can be effectively combined with other treatments such as BOTOX® and Dysport®, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, and microneedling to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Combining treatments can address a broader range of skin concerns and achieve more comprehensive results. Your provider will advise on the best combination of treatments to meet your aesthetic goals, and can also help you learn about skincare products to keep your skin looking healthy and fresh.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra by Galderma is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to combat facial aging by stimulating the body's own collagen production.1 Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra is a biocompatible collagen stimulator that works deep within the skin to gradually improve volume loss, smooth out wrinkles and creases, and restore youthful contours. Its active ingredient, injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), targets areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and marionette lines, promoting a subtle yet noticeable rejuvenation over time.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra operates by delivering poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) into the skin, which then stimulates collagen production in the treatment area.2 Collagen is a key structural protein in the skin that decreases with age, leading to wrinkles and sagging. Sculptra's mechanism encourages the skin to rebuild its own collagen matrix, gradually filling in facial wrinkles and creases and restoring volume for a more youthful appearance. This process not only smooths out the skin but also strengthens it from within, offering long-lasting results that can persist for up to two years or more.
