Sculptra® Aesthetic is an FDA-approved biostimulatory injectable made with biocompatible poly-L-lactic acid that triggers your body's natural collagen production to gradually restore lost volume and smooth facial wrinkles.
Unlike traditional fillers (like JUVÉDERM or Restylane) that add volume immediately, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body's own collagen production over time, creating more subtle, longer-lasting results.
Sculptra replaces lost collagen deep within your skin using a safe, biodegradable material that rebuilds your skin’s inner foundation, gradually restoring natural fullness to facial wrinkles and sagging.
Sculptra addresses:
SSculptra results develop gradually as your body rebuilds its own collagen over several weeks and months. Rather than a single quick fix, most patients start with a series of 2 to 3 initial treatments to reach their ideal result. Since we naturally continue to lose collagen over time, a routine maintenance appointment about once a year helps sustain long-term facial volume and youthful contours. Explore our before and after gallery to see real patient results.
Sculptra results can last 1-2 years, making it one of the longest-lasting injectables. Results depend on individual factors and ongoing aging.
No significant downtime. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately.
Most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Your provider will recommend the specific number during consultation.
Before your Sculptra appointment, discontinue supplements like Omega-3s and Vitamin E, as well as blood-thinning medications such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Naproxen for 1 week prior to minimize bruising (Tylenol is acceptable), and refrain from alcohol for 24 hours beforehand. Please inform your provider if you have had a vaccination, dental cleaning/procedure, recent illness, infection, or antibiotic use within the past 14 days. Please see full pre-treatment instructions here.
After your Sculptra appointment, expect mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness, which can be managed with cold compresses and by avoiding alcohol, salt, and heavy exercise for a few days. You must follow the "Rule of 5s" by massaging the treated area 5 times a day for 5 minutes for 5 days post-treatment. Avoid intense heat (sunbathing, steam rooms) and other energy-based treatments until initial redness and swelling resolve. Please see full post-treatment instructions here.
In most cases, we are able to provide Sculptra injections on the day of your consultation. Please call your clinic to confirm availability.
