Sculptra®
Sculptra® is an injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid that is designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production over several months, continuously improving skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. Its unique approach means you enjoy a subtle, progressive rejuvenation for a naturally youthful and long-lasting appearance.

How It Works
Sculptra® works by injecting an FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator into the skin, where it gradually restores lost volume and improves skin contour. Rather than providing immediate visible results, Sculptra® subtly fills lines and folds as it stimulates your body’s own natural collagen production over time. This progressive approach leads to increasingly firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin, with results that can last up to two years — often longer than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers
What It Targets
Patients choose Sculptra® to gradually restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and diminish lines and folds in areas of the face for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation. Each treatment is tailored to your individual goals, helping you achieve a refreshed, more youthful look over time.

Is Sculptra® only for those over 40?
Age isn’t the deciding factor — it’s all about your skin and your goals.

Our expert team personalizes every Sculptra® treatment to fit your needs, helping you gradually restore youthful volume and confidence whether you’re in your 20s or want a refreshed look later in life.
What are preparations and after care for my Sculptra® appointment?
Before your Sculptra® treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for several days, and limit alcohol intake to help reduce bruising and swelling. After the procedure, gently massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to evenly distribute the product. Apply ice packs to minimize swelling, avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and steer clear of direct sun or heat exposure until any swelling or redness subsides. Most patients return to regular activities immediately after treatment.
How long do Sculptra® results last?
Sculptra® treatments typically deliver results that last up to two years, depending on factors like metabolism, treatment area, and lifestyle. Many patients see gradual improvement and enjoy long-lasting, natural-looking results, with occasional touch-ups helping to maintain their refreshed appearance over time. Compared to traditional hyaluronic acid fillers — which last about 6 to 12 months — Sculptra® stands out for its superior longevity and gradual, collagen-boosting effects.
