Sculptra

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable designed to gradually stimulate collagen, a protein naturally found in the body that supports healthy cells and tissue. Results develop over time and vary from person to person.

Why Choose Sculptra

Sculptra works differently from some other treatments for visible signs of aging. Here is a brief look at other common options.

Collagen creams. These are applied to the surface of the skin and mainly work as moisturizers.
Collagen Supplements. These are taken by mouth, and the digestive system breaks down collagen proteins.
Botox. This treatment works by temporarily weakening muscles to minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Results can last a few months.
Fillers. Upon injection, the filler adds volume to lines, wrinkles, and folds.

Who is a Candidate?

Sculptra was created for use in people with healthy immune systems, who would like to correct shallow to deep nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles.

Sculptra is not recommended for individuals:

Under 18 years of age
Who are allergic to any of the ingredients
With an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area
Who have a history of keloid scarring or hypertrophic scarring
Who are pregnant, lactating, or breastfeeding

How Sculptra Works

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a collagen stimulator designed to support the skin’s underlying structure and soften the appearance of facial wrinkles.

Upon injection, Sculptra works deep in the dermis to stimulate collagen production and help restore the skin’s inner structure and volume.

As the body absorbs the Sculptra PLLA microparticles, collagen production may increase. Over time, this can gradually soften the appearance of wrinkles and folds.

Sculptra is typically injected through a series of treatments administered by your provider. The key ingredient is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body. This process helps to rebuild lost collagen.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your provider will begin by cleansing the treatment area and apply a topical anesthetic to numb the outer layer of skin. Your provider then injects treatment into the appropriate dermal plane based on your treatment plan. The injection sites will be strategically identified, based on where strands of collagen support the skin’s structure.

Over time, patients may notice gradual changes as Sculptra stimulates collagen. The number of injections and treatment necessary to deliver visible results will vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost. A typical treatment plan may include about three injection appointments over the course of a few months.

Potential Risks and Side Effects

Sculptra treatment risks and side effects may include:

Pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, and itching at the injection site
Nodules, papules, or lumps
Temporary bleeding at the injection site

To minimize the risks of potential complications, Sculptra should only be injected by a trained health care practitioner. Their level of experience and knowledge of facial anatomy are key factors in the effectiveness of Sculptra.
