Sculptra is an injectable treatment that uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra gradually restores lost facial volume over time, leading to a more youthful and natural-looking appearance.
Good candidates for Sculptra include adults experiencing volume loss due to aging, particularly those looking for a gradual improvement. Ideal patients are in good health and have realistic expectations about the results.
Results from Sculptra typically last up to two years or more, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the area treated. The gradual collagen buildup continues to improve skin texture and volume, providing long-lasting benefits.
Yes, Sculptra is FDA-approved and considered safe for use. Side effects are typically mild and may include swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site.
The procedure usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and most patients experience little to no downtime, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.
Results from Sculptra develop gradually over a few months, with optimal results visible after a series of treatments. Effects can last up to two years, depending on individual factors and follow-up care.
