Sculptra Q & A


What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a dermal filler made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that helps to restore lost volume in the face and stimulate collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually, with results developing over a few months as collagen is produced.

It’s commonly used to treat facial wrinkles, folds, and areas of volume loss, such as in the cheeks, temples, and around the jawline. Sculptra provides natural, long-lasting results that improve over time, making it ideal for those looking for subtle, rejuvenating changes.

What is the process for getting Sculptra?

Getting Sculptra is a straightforward and minimally invasive procedure. The treatment typically takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. A fine needle or cannula is used to inject the product into targeted areas. While the process itself is not painful, a topical anesthetic may be applied beforehand to enhance comfort.

There’s no significant downtime required after the procedure, though minor swelling or bruising may occur and usually subsides within a few days.

How long do Sculptra results last?

Sculptra works gradually, with noticeable improvements typically beginning to appear within a few weeks to months. The results last significantly longer than many other fillers—up to two years or more—because it stimulates your body’s natural collagen production.

Most people require an initial series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart to achieve optimal results, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.

Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?

Sculptra is ideal for individuals looking to address facial volume loss, soften wrinkles, or achieve a natural-looking rejuvenation. It’s particularly effective for those who want subtle, progressive improvements rather than immediate, dramatic changes.

However, Sculptra is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of severe allergic reactions.
