Treatment Areas
Sculptra (Poly-L Lactic Acid), by Galderma, is a revolutionary biostimulator treatment. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra achieves subtle, gradual, and natural-looking results using your body’s own collagen-producing power, making it an ideal choice for those who desire an authentic appearance with subtle elegance. This advanced formulation not only restores volume but also stimulates the skin’s collagen production, resulting in a gradual and subtle improvement in texture and tone. Sculptra addresses age-related volume loss in key areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline, creating a more youthful and balanced facial contour.
Cheek Augmentation
It provides a natural-looking lift and contour to the enhance and augment the cheeks., improving overall facial aesthetics.
Mid-Face Rejuvenation
Efective for mid-face rejuvenation, which includes treating the areas around the cheeks and nasolabial folds.
Chin Enhancement
Augment and enhance the chin and create a more defined chin projection, which helps to improve facial balance.
Marionette Lines
Soften and reduce the appearance of marionette lines, the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin.
Expected Treatment Results
Sculptra’s results unfold gradually over time. Initially, you may notice temporary volume due to water, which subsides within a few days. Within weeks 2 to 4, subtle improvements in texture and volume begin to appear. By months 3 to 6, the treated areas become visibly plumper, with reduced lines and wrinkles. Peak results are typically seen around months 9 to 12, with continued improvements thereafter. Many enjoy the benefits for up to two years or more.

The Science Behind
Sculptra Injections
Sculptra ® helps to restore your skin’s natural beauty by stimulating your body’s own production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that helps to give your skin its structure and elasticity. As we age, we naturally lose collagen, which can lead to wrinkles and sagging.
Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), which is a biocompatible material that is slowly absorbed by the body. As the PLLA-SCA is absorbed, it helps to stimulate the production of new collagen. This new collagen helps to fill in wrinkles and restore the skin’s inner structure.
Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps maintain your skin's shape and structure. It is the most abundant protein in the human body and is found in many other tissues, such as tendons, ligaments, and bones. Collagen is responsible for giving skin its strength and elasticity. As we age, our collagen production naturally decreases. This can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of volume.
A clinical study showed that Sculptra® increased Type 1 collagen production by 66.5% after 3 months. This is an important metric because Type 1 collagen is the most abundant type of collagen in the skin.

Process
Your journey to rejuvenation begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment. During this session, we will carefully examine your facial anatomy to identify areas of volume loss and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
On the day of your treatment, the targeted areas will be thoroughly cleansed to ensure a sterile environment for the injections. Depending on your comfort level and pain tolerance, a topical anesthetic may be applied to numb the area. Next, your provider will use a fine needle to precisely inject Sculptra into the predetermined areas of volume loss. Multiple injections may be necessary to achieve an even distribution of the product. Following the injections, the treated areas will be gently massaged and sculpted to ensure the Sculptra is evenly distributed and to prevent any lumps or irregularities.
After your Sculptra treatment, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, including specific guidelines for facial massage techniques to be performed at home. These massages are crucial for optimizing the results of your treatment and minimizing any potential side effects. It’s essential to diligently follow these instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
Sculptra typically requires a series of treatment sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The exact number of sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Your skin care professional will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan
You’ll start to notice subtle improvements in your skin’s volume and texture in the weeks and months following your Sculptra treatment. The results develop gradually and naturally, with the full effects typically becoming visible within a few months. Most patients enjoy the benefits of Sculptra for up to two years or longer. To help maintain these results, your skin care professional may recommend periodic maintenance treatments.
