What is Sculptra?
Sculptra addresses an underlying cause of facial aging, not just the symptoms. As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles. Sculptra works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds. Sculptra may stimulate collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds over time.

How It Works
Not All Anti-Aging Treatments Are the Same:
Collagen creams: Collagen creams do not fully penetrate to the dermis, so most topical treatments are effective as moisturizers that briefly improve the skin’s appearance.
Hyperhidrosis Collagen Supplements: When ingested, the digestive system breaks down collagen proteins and their effectiveness remains inconclusive.
Toxins: Toxins temporarily weaken muscles to minimize frown lines in the forehead. Results typically last a couple of months.
Fillers: Works immediately upon injection to fill in lines, wrinkles and folds.
What to Expect After Your Sculptra Treatment
Cold Pack
A cold pack or ice pack will help reduce any common swelling. Within the first 24 hours of treatment, apply a cloth-wrapped cold pack to the treated area for a few minutes at a time. Never apply ice directly to the skin.
Facial Massage
Massage the treated area for five minutes five times a day for five days after treatment, as recommended by your physician.
Avoid Sunlight
After treatment, excessive sunlight and UV lamp exposure should be avoided until any initial swelling and redness go away. Your doctor will provide guidelines on sunscreen protection and how to avoid excessive sunlight.
Sculptra may stimulate collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds over time. Remember, you won’t see dramatic improvement immediately after treatment. To achieve full results, be sure to keep any follow-up appointments in your treatment series.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps to rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments administered by a trained specialist. The specialist injects treatment into the appropriate dermal plane where strands of collagen support your skin's structure. Over time, Sculptra helps the body reproduce lost collagen. The number of injection appointments and the number of injections per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost. On average, three injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months.
Which Areas Does Sculptra Treat?
Sculptra is used to correct shallow to deep wrinkles and folds on the face. Administered with the appropriate injection technique from a trained specialist, Sculptra is clinically approved for:
- Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), also called “smile lines”
- Lines framing the mouth (marionette lines)
- Chin wrinkles
How Many Treatments Are Required?
On average, a series of three treatment sessions over the course of a few months may be needed. The number of injections at each session will vary, depending on the degree of correction needed and the treatment plan determined by you and your specialist.
Is Sculptra Safe? What Are the Side Effects?
Sculptra is FDA approved in the United States and has been used worldwide since 1999. Sculptra is made of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid that is absorbed naturally by the body and has been used for years in dissolvable stitches.
Since Sculptra does not contain any human or animal components, no allergy testing is needed prior to treatments.
Side effects reported include injection site pain, redness, bruising, tenderness, itching and lumps, bleeding or swelling. Small bumps under the skin can sometimes be noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Larger lumps, with or without inflammation, have also been reported.
The types and duration of side effects may vary. If you are experiencing side effects, talk to your doctor.
How Soon After Treatment Can I Wear Makeup?
If there are no complications, you may apply makeup several hours after treatment. Be sure to consult your doctor after treatment.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Sculptra is designed to give you noticeable results that emerge gradually and can last up to two years.* Don’t be disappointed if you don’t see immediate results. A few days after treatment, you may look as you did before treatment. This is normal and temporary. The Sculptra regimen delivers its full effects with an average of three treatment sessions over the course of a few months. Because results happen gradually, you’ll see subtle, yet noticeable, results in the reduction of facial wrinkles and folds by comparing images before treatment and a couple of months following treatment.
Will I need to take time off work after Sculptra injections?
Most patients return to normal activity the same day or the day after treatment. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site is possible but usually short-lived.
Can I get Sculptra if I already have dermal fillers?
Many patients receive Sculptra after previous filler treatments. Our specialists will recommend an approach based on your current results and goals.
What happens if I stop getting Sculptra treatments?
Results gradually fade as collagen naturally breaks down over time. You can choose maintenance treatments or allow the effects to diminish naturally.
Am I too young or too old for Sculptra?
Sculptra is commonly used by adults who want to address facial volume loss and other signs of aging. The best candidates are determined by their needs and goals rather than a specific age range.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Sculptra suits adults who notice hollowing in the cheeks, temples, or along the jawline. It is a strong fit if you want a facial volume restoration procedure without surgery or extended downtime.
This non-surgical anti-aging injectable also works well for people who have lost volume from weight changes or the natural aging process. It is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you have an active skin infection near the planned treatment area.
Benefits of Getting Sculptra
As a collagen-stimulating filler treatment, Sculptra builds results from within rather than simply filling space. Here is what sets it apart:
- Results can last up to two years after a full treatment series
- No surgery and no animal-derived ingredients
- Gradual improvement that looks natural, not overdone
- Addresses multiple areas across the face in one series
- Pairs well with dermal fillers or Botox for a broader plan
Cost of Sculptra
Sculptra is priced per vial, and most patients need 2-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart. The total cost depends on how many vials are used and how many sessions our provider recommends.
Flexible payment plans and current specials may help reduce treatment costs.
