Here’s our plan:

We’ll discuss your areas of concern and decide whether injections or microneedling are best for you.
We’ll apply a topical numbing cream to ensure you’re comfortable for your treatment.
We’ll use a very fine needle to inject your Sculptra or use our microneedling device to create tiny micro-wounds. You’ll get a nice facial massage either way, which helps ensure the Sculptra is distributed evenly!
Results often start to appear 6-8 weeks after initial injections and will continue to produce for the first year after injections. (The number of treatments you’ll need depends on your age and extent of collagen loss, too.)

What’s Sculptra? Here’s Everything You Need to Know

Sculptra is an age-defying injectable that boosts your natural collagen production.

We love using it to restore lost volume, improve skin laxity and minimize wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful appearance. But what exactly is it, and how does it work?

Here’s what you need to know.

Sculptra vs. Filler: What’s the Difference?

Sculptra and filler are injectables we use to improve facial harmony and minimize the signs of aging.

They can be used together or individually to create a more youthful appearance, but they differ in their composition and how they work.

Here’s what you need to know.

3 Treatments to Stack with Sculptra

Sculptra works wonders on its own, but stacking it with other treatments can give you even more comprehensive results!

Whether you’ve already got an appointment on the books or are still exploring your options, stacking treatments is always a convenient way to minimize downtime and maximize your results.

Here’s what you need to know.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an injectable treatment used to restore lost volume. It contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that helps stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in increased volume over time.

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra can be injected directly or used with microneedling. Once beneath the skin, the PLLA particles start stimulating collagen — a protein that provides structural support to the skin. Gradually, this increased collagen production improves skin laxity, texture, firmness and volume.

What areas can be treated with Sculptra?

Sculptra is used to treat areas of the face with lost volume, including the temples, preauricular area, cheeks, chin, jawline, neck and chest.

How many Sculptra treatments do I need?

The number of treatments can vary depending on your skin’s needs, but we typically recommend 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for best results.

Are the results permanent?

No — but they can last up to two years!

Are there any side effects with Sculptra?

Like all cosmetic treatments, Sculptra has a few potential side effects. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, bruising or mild discomfort at the injection site, but these typically go away within a few days.

Is Sculptra safe for everyone?

While safe for most people, it’s not safe for those with certain allergies or medical conditions and those who are pregnant. If you’re breastfeeding, you should get approval from your pediatrician first. Please let your provider know if you have any history of autoimmune disease, too.

How long does it take to see results?

Sculptra works by stimulating collagen, and that collagen needs time to build! You’ll start seeing volume increase gradually (6-8 weeks after initial injections), and you’ll continue to see results the first year after injections.

Can I get Sculptra with other treatments?

Yes! You can stack Sculptra with filler, Botox, microneedling and more. Combining treatments can help you see even greater results. Talk to your provider about which treatment combos might be good for your skin.
