About Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra® Aesthetic is different from topical treatments and other facial fillers because it works with your body to help revitalize the production of collagen, the natural substance that gives your skin resiliency, elasticity and shape. The result? A more youthful-looking appearance that can last more than two years. (Clinical study ended at 25 months). As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, it works with your body within the deep dermis, rather than topically, to help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra Aesthetic PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore longer lasting facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.
What are the Benefits of Sculptra Aesthetic?
Over-the-counter creams and other products may offer short-term improvements, but Sculptra Aesthetic produces real, noticeable results that last for up to two years. Treatment is safe, quick, and convenient for patients who want a more youthful appearance without undergoing plastic surgery. Above all, Sculptra Aesthetic is incredibly natural-looking and helps to subtly restore facial volume instead of creating a “fake” look. This is because Sculptra works with your body to stimulate collagen production instead of simply filling in wrinkles.
Am I A Candidate For Sculptra?
Sculptra is great for patients who want to boost contour in their cheeks without implants and surgery. Some candidates may have naturally flat cheeks, while others experience age-related volume loss. Sculptra dermal filler may also help to improve fine to severe facial lines and wrinkles, like nasolabial folds, chin wrinkles, and marionette lines. Since Sculptra's formula works to prompt the natural production of collagen, many Sculptra patients will have an improvement in the appearance and health of their skin.

What to Expect with Sculptra
Following your appointment, you may experience mild to moderate redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the sites of injections that should resolve on its own in a few days. For faster healing, you can apply cold packs to the injection sites. You should limit UV exposure after your treatment and use sun protection. Many patients will see clear improvements almost immediately after their treatment, with complete results appearing after a few months when the natural production of collagen improves the health of the skin. When Sculptra is performed as a series of injections over 3 – 4 months, a patient's results may last up to two years.
