Sculptra is a next-generation dermal filler with a unique formula. The active ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates natural collagen and elastin production to increase subtle, natural volume. The results of Sculptra last for years, with the optimal results achieved at about four to six months after the injections.

How does Sculptra work?

The beauty of Sculptra is in the long-lasting results and the smoothing effect of natural collagen. Your body reacts to the Sculptra injections with mild inflammation, sending a message to heal and produce fresh collagen. As the collagen fibers increase, the skin becomes thicker and more supple in the most natural way.

You will need some patience to enjoy the results of treatment, which should start to appear at about the three-month mark, reaching maximum effect at about the four to six-month mark. Most patients require several treatments, typically three or four, spaced several weeks apart.

Who is a candidate for Sculptra?

Sculptra Aesthetic is ideal for patients who want to improve volume in their mid-face without surgery. Some candidates may have naturally hollow cheeks, while others experience age-related volume loss. Sculptra may also be used to treat fine to severe facial lines and wrinkles, including marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and chin wrinkles. Since Sculptra works to prompt the natural production of collagen, most Sculptra patients will notice an improvement in the appearance and overall health of their skin.
