Collagen Loss Concerns
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra Aesthetic is made with a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) which is a collagen stimulator. Collagen stimulators are used to diminish facial wrinkles by helping to restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin.
Sculptra Aesthetic is unique as it works with your body within the deep dermis, rather than topically, to help revitalize collagen production and restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra Aesthetic PLLA microparticles are naturally absorbed by the body, they work to increase collagen production.
Rebuilt collagen strands begin helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds. Results appear gradually over the treatment regime (typically three injections over the course of three to four months) and can last up to two years.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sculptra?
If you are unhappy with the appearance of facial wrinkles, creases, and diminished volume, you may be the right candidate to consider treatment with Sculptra. If you are considering a facelift to treat signs of facial aging but aren’t sure about undergoing surgery and the downtime of recovery, then a dermal filler treatment with Sculptra may be the ideal alternative.
Sculptra injections have proven highly effective in improving the following conditions:
- Lost volume in the temples, cheeks, and jawline, creating a look of gauntness
- The nasolabial folds, which extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Deep vertical creases from the corners of the mouth to the jawline
- Parentheses lines around the mouth
The Sculptra
Treatment Process
The treatment areas will be disinfected and numbed with a topical anesthetic. Injections of Sculptra are delivered with ultra-fine needles and are not considered painful. The duration of the treatment is approximately 15 minutes to an hour.

Why do Sculptra results take longer to appear?
Sculptra stimulates collagen production rather than creating immediate volume; results take several weeks to appear.
Who is a better candidate for Sculptra versus traditional filler?
Patients with widespread volume loss may benefit from collagen stimulation rather than spot filling.
Can Sculptra improve skin quality over time?
Some patients notice improved firmness and texture as collagen develops over time.
How many treatments are usually recommended?
A series of sessions is commonly needed for the best results, with sessions spaced at least 4 weeks apart.
What happens years after Sculptra treatment?
Collagen stimulation gradually declines as part of normal aging, and maintenance may be considered even though Sculptra results can last up to 24 months.
