What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is a biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a safe, biocompatible substance that encourages your body to produce new collagen over time. Rather than producing immediate plumping, Sculptra® creates a more gradual and natural enhancement by rebuilding the deep structural framework of the skin.
This treatment is ideal for anyone who wants to address volume loss and skin laxity without looking “overdone,” and for those seeking results that continue to improve over months.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
When injected into targeted areas of the face, Sculptra® triggers a regenerative response deep within the skin. The PLLA particles prompt your body to lay down new collagen fibres, improving support and smoothness from within. Over time (typically several months) this collagen production leads to a firmer, fuller and refreshed look that can last up to two years or more.
What Can Sculptra® Treat?
Sculptra® is effective at treating:
- Age-related volume loss
- Hollow cheeks & temples
- Jawline definition
- Deep folds & skin laxity
- Aging in hands & décolletage
- Gluteal Area for treatment of skin irregularities
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra® works beneath the surface to improve skin quality and resilience while restoring structural fullness.
What to Expect During & After Treatment
During treatment
A Sculptra® session is performed in-clinic and typically takes 30–60 minutes. Your provider will customize injection sites based on your facial anatomy and goals. Topical numbing may be applied for comfort.
After treatment
There is minimal downtime. Some redness, swelling or bruising at injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few days. Gentle massage and routine follow-up treatments help ensure even distribution and smooth results.
Results develop gradually over several weeks, with collagen stimulation building up to create a natural, refreshed appearance. Many patients see improvement continuing for 4–6 months after the initial session, with effects lasting up to 2 years or longer.
