How Sculptra works
What it is
Sculptra is a poly‑L‑lactic acid (PLLA) biostimulatory injectable. It nudges your skin to make new collagen. It’s not a traditional gel filler.
What it treats
Approved to correct fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek region for immunocompetent adults. Your plan may also address other facial areas when appropriate.
How many sessions
Most people complete a series over a few months (often ~3 sessions). We’ll tailor the amount and spacing to your goals and anatomy.
When you’ll see change
Expect subtle improvements to build over 6–12+ weeks as collagen forms. Effects can last up to about 2 years before maintenance. Individual timelines vary.
Downtime & aftercare
Typical effects are short‑lived: minor swelling, tenderness, or bruising. You’ll get simple aftercare instructions before you leave. (We’ll tell you if massage is advised for your plan.) Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol the day of treatment if we recommend it.
Safety basics
Sculptra is placed by trained injectors with anatomical precision. We avoid high‑risk zones (e.g., near the eyes) and never inject into blood vessels. Not for use if you have an active skin infection, certain allergies, or if you’re pregnant or nursing. Best for healthy, immune‑competent adults. We’ll cover risks, benefits, and alternatives during your consult.
How Sculptra differs from HA fillers
HA fillers add instant volume and can be dissolved if needed. Sculptra builds collagen slowly and cannot be dissolved, so planning matters. Many patients combine approaches across the face for balance.
Good companions
Neurotoxin for lines, SkinPen® microneedling, and regenerative options like PRF EZ Gel can complement a Sculptra plan (sequence/timing determined at consult).
