Sculptra Skin Treatment
Sculptra is an FDA approved injectable for volume loss that helps stimulate your body’s own collagen production to decrease the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. It helps restore midface volume, jawline contour and temple hollowing, as well as textural changes in the neck, chest, arms and knees.

Here are some frequently asked questions about Sculptra:
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra works by utilizing a biocompatible substance called poly-L-lactic acid. When injected into targeted areas of the skin, it acts as a stimulator for your body’s natural collagen production. Over time, Sculptra encourages the growth of new collagen fibers, helping to restore lost volume and improve the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. This collagen replenishment leads to a gradual and natural-looking enhancement, rejuvenating your skin from within.
What are the benefits of Sculptra?
Sculptra presents an array of advantages for individuals in pursuit of non-invasive facial and body rejuvenation. Its primary benefit focuses on collagen stimulation, promoting the enhancement of skin texture, firmness, and the restoration of volume. It delivers results that are gradual and naturally appealing in appearance, steering clear of any overfilled or unnatural effects. Sculptra’s effects can last up to two years, setting it apart from certain other injectables. Its versatility extends to many applications, such as augmenting midface volume, sculpting the jawline, addressing temple hollowing, diminishing wrinkles, and refining skin texture across various body regions.Notably, Sculptra also offers a non-surgical alternative for augmenting the buttocks and smoothing out “hip dips.”
What is the procedure like?
After your initial consultation, we start your procedure with a topical anesthetic to eliminate any discomfort during the injections. We will then inject the areas you discussed with a very thin needle filled with the Sculptra solution. This process can take anywhere from fifteen to sixty minutes. After we complete the procedure you may return to normal activities. You may experience some tenderness, redness, and swelling at the injection sites. These symptoms should subside within two to seven days.
What areas can be treated with Sculptra?
Sculptra is a versatile treatment for midface volume loss, jawline definition, temple hollowing, neck texture, chest changes, arm wrinkles, knee wrinkles, and buttock enhancement.
What can I expect after the treatment?
Immediately following a Sculptra treatment, you can expect several immediate effects and sensations, including: swelling, redness, some bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. This discomfort is usually mild and short-lived. Unlike some dermal fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra works gradually over time. While you may notice some initial improvement due to swelling, the full effects of Sculptra typically become more apparent over several weeks as the product stimulates collagen production. In most cases, you can resume your normal activities immediately after a Sculptra treatment, but it’s essential to follow our post-treatment instructions, which may include avoiding strenuous exercise for a short period.
