Sculptra

Sculptra is a volumizing dermal filler that is designed to restore fullness to your facial features and correct wrinkles, fine lines, and nasolabial folds. Its injectable formula has a unique active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, which is a synthetic gel made of the same lactic acid that can be found naturally in the body. The formula works to regenerate collagen, nature’s skin-firming protein.

What to expect with your Sculptra treatment

During your Sculptra treatment, a local or topical anesthetic will be applied to the treatment areas to minimize any discomfort you may feel while receiving your injections. Sculptra will then be injected in small amounts into the treated areas and, afterward, these areas will be massaged to ensure the product is evenly distributed.

The whole procedure should take between half an hour to 45 minutes, depending on your needs. Most clients will need two treatments to achieve the optimal results in skin-firming and renewal with Sculptra. Nothing looks more natural than skin that is naturally rejuvenated, many other facial fillers, the results can last up to two years.

What is the recovery time?

After your Sculptra treatment, you should be able to go about your day. However, you may experience some redness, tenderness, pin prick marks, and swelling in the treated areas, which should all dissipate after a few days.

Additionally, these are some aftercare instructions you should follow to assist with recovery:

Do not wear makeup for the first 24 hours after your treatment.
For two days after your treatment, you should avoid exposure to the sun, extreme
temperatures, and alcohol since these could all slow down the healing process.
Do not take aspirin for the first 48 hours after your treatment.
If you notice any bumps that remain four to six weeks after your treatment, contact our office.

Sculptra FAQ

What areas can Sculptra treat?

Sculptra can be used on essentially every part of the face, including the cheekbones, nose, chin, cheeks, mouth, and under the eyes. Its versatility is part of what sets Sculptra apart from other fillers that have more limited usage.
