Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a unique biostimulatory injectable that works differently from traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. Rather than providing immediate volume, Sculptra gradually stimulates your body’s own collagen production, restoring facial volume and structure over time for a naturally youthful appearance.
How It Works
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable compound that has been safely used in medical applications for decades. When injected into the deeper layers of the skin, Sculptra works within the dermis to reinforce your skin’s structure and stimulate collagen regeneration. The result? Subtle, progressive, and long-lasting volume restoration.
What Sculptra Treats
Volume loss in the cheeks and midface
Hollow temples
Jawline definition
Marionette lines and smile lines
General facial contouring
Early skin laxity
Sculptra is often used as part of a full-face rejuvenation approach, especially for patients who prefer gradual, natural changes over time.
Treatment Process
A typical Sculptra treatment involves a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Because collagen production takes time, results appear gradually and can last up to two years or more, depending on the individual. Many patients begin to see improvement after 6–12 weeks.

Safety and Considerations
Sculptra is FDA-approved and generally well tolerated. Mild side effects may include swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising at the injection site. Because Sculptra works gradually, it requires patience—but the payoff is collagen-rich, youthful skin that looks entirely your own.
