SCULPTRA
Restore facial volume and stimulate collagen production
Sculptra is a biostimulatory aesthetic injectable that stimulates your own natural collagen production, offering a gradual and natural correction of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging due to collagen loss. This bio-stimulating treatment helps to restore skin structure and volume, yielding long-lasting, youthful results.
ABOUT SCULPTRA
What it is
Sculptra is an injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume lost due to aging while stimulating collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Sculptra gradually and subtly corrects facial wrinkles and folds. Made from poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic material, Sculptra is naturally absorbed by the body as it works to replace lost collagen.
Personalized Treatment Plans
During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your skin, facial structure, and aesthetic goals to help determine your personalized treatment plan. Sculptra is then injected into the targeted areas, aiming to smooth and firm the skin and create a great glow. While individual results vary, many patients achieve a more refreshed appearance with minimal downtime.
Long-Lasting Results
Subtle results from Sculptra injections can typically be seen within a month. These results continue to improve as new collagen is produced. The effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 years, depending on individual metabolism and skin characteristics.
How does it Work
During a Sculptra session, your provider will cleanse the treatment area and mark out your targeted areas of treatment. Sculptra is then injected using a fine needle or cannula to treat areas of volume loss and skin laxity. The procedure typically takes about 30–45 minutes, and you can expect minimal downtime.
Following the treatment, some clients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which generally resolves within a few days. For optimal results, multiple sessions may be recommended depending on your goals.
