Experience subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation with Sculptra®—the collagen-stimulating injectable that gradually restores volume, smooths lines, and enhances facial contours for a naturally refreshed look.
What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to gradually restore facial volume and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra® works over time to rebuild the skin’s structural foundation — improving fullness, firmness, and overall facial contour for a naturally youthful appearance.
Formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra® helps replace lost collagen, the key structural protein responsible for smooth and elastic skin. This innovative biostimulatory treatment is ideal for softening wrinkles, restoring cheek volume, and enhancing overall facial balance — all with subtle, long-lasting results.
Does Sculptra® Hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. Your injector will use a fine needle or cannula and may mix Sculptra® with lidocaine (a local anesthetic) to improve comfort during the procedure. You may feel light pressure or mild stinging at the injection sites, but most patients find the treatment well tolerated and experience only slight tenderness or swelling for a day or two afterward.
Am I a Candidate for Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an excellent option for individuals who want to:
- Restore lost facial volume in the cheeks, temples, or jawline
- Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve skin firmness and elasticity
- Achieve gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation
You may be a good candidate if you prefer subtle, progressive results rather than the immediate fullness of hyaluronic acid fillers. During your consultation, your provider will assess your goals and facial anatomy to determine if Sculptra® is the right collagen-stimulating treatment for you.
Is Sculptra® Permanent?
Sculptra® provides long-lasting but not permanent improvement. The poly-L-lactic acid stimulates your body to rebuild collagen over time, with results that can last up to two years or more. Most patients need an initial series of 2–4 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to achieve optimal volume restoration. To maintain your refreshed appearance, yearly touch-up sessions are recommended.
How Long Do Sculptra® Treatments Take?
A typical Sculptra® session takes about 30–45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated. Because there’s no surgery or significant downtime, you can resume most normal activities immediately afterward. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur but usually resolves within a few days.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Sculptra®?
Sculptra® can be used to enhance several facial areas, including:
- Cheeks and midface
- Temples
- Jawline
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (around the mouth)
- Chin
It’s also commonly used for non-surgical buttock enhancement (“Sculptra® BBL”), helping improve skin texture and subtle lift through collagen stimulation.
What Does Sculptra® Cost?
Sculptra® treatments cost $850 per vial, with package treatments available at a discounted price. Most patients require 2–4 vials per treatment series to achieve desired results. Because Sculptra® builds collagen gradually, your provider will customize your treatment plan and cost estimate based on your specific goals and anatomy.
