What does
Sculptra
target?

Facial volume loss, hollow cheeks, deep folds, skin laxity, and patients who prefer a gradual, natural-looking result over immediate filler correction. Sculptra is ideal for full-face rejuvenation where the goal is restoring your own structural collagen.

How does
Sculptra
work?

Sculptra's poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is injected into targeted areas, where it creates a controlled collagen response over weeks. Rather than adding volume directly like HA fillers, PLLA microparticles stimulate your fibroblasts to produce new collagen, gradually thickening and strengthening the skin's foundation. Full results develop over 2-3 sessions.

Why choose
Sculptra
at Better Med Spa?

Sculptra requires patience and a provider who understands how to build results over multiple sessions. Our Lincoln Park injectors plan your treatment arc from the first visit, mapping how your face will respond over time. This is long-game aesthetics done right.

We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs. Schedule a consultation to learn how to reach your aesthetic goals.

Is Sculptra safe?

Sculptra treatments are safe and performed by our skilled professionals to offer gradual volume restoration and natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Sculptra® is an FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid injectable designed to stimulate collagen and correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds.

Will my Sculptra results look natural?

At Better Med Spa, we use Sculptra to enhance your natural beauty. Our expert injectors carefully listen to your goals and concerns, crafting a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique features for beautifully authentic, long-lasting results.

Is Sculptra only for those over 40?

Age isn’t the deciding factor. it’s all about your skin and your goals. Volume loss, wrinkles, and texture changes can show up at any time due to genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure, and the natural aging process. 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.

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"The spa was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. My skin feels so smooth and fresh, and I left glowing."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."

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.

Benefits

Sculptra rejuvenates your skin by stimulating natural collagen, leading to lasting improvements in volume, firmness, and texture. In addition to smoothing wrinkles and restoring contours, it provides natural-looking enhancement that develops over several months and can last up to two years. With minimal maintenance, you enjoy a resilient, refreshed appearance and long-term confidence.
