Sculptra® Collagen Stimulating Filler

What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an advanced injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, and stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production over time. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide instant results, Sculptra® works gradually to rebuild your skin’s foundation from the inside out — delivering a more youthful and natural appearance that evolves over weeks.
It is composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that stimulates the skin to produce collagen, restoring structure and firmness lost with age.
How Does It Work?
Once injected into the deeper layers of the skin, Sculptra® begins to activate collagen synthesis. The poly-L-lactic acid particles trigger a natural healing response, encouraging the body to gradually rebuild collagen where it has been lost due to aging.
While results are not immediate, they develop over several weeks and can last up to 2 years. The outcome is a soft, lifted, and naturally rejuvenated appearance — without looking “done” or overfilled.

How long does Sculptra® last?
Results can last up to 2 years after a full course of treatment. Maintenance sessions may be recommended annually.
Is Sculptra® safe?
Yes, Sculptra® has been safely used worldwide for many years. The active ingredient (PLLA) is biocompatible and is naturally absorbed by the body over time.
How is it different from dermal fillers?
Traditional fillers provide immediate volume and are made of hyaluronic acid. Sculptra® works by stimulating your skin to produce its own collagen, offering more gradual and longer-lasting results.
Does the treatment hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. A numbing agent is often mixed with Sculptra® or applied to the skin beforehand to ensure comfort.
How many treatments do I need?
Most patients require 2 to 3 sessions, depending on the degree of volume loss and desired results. Your practitioner will customize a plan for you.
Is there any downtime?
Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur but typically resolves in a few days. You can return to most normal activities immediately.
Can Sculptra® be used on the body?
Yes! Sculptra® is increasingly popular for non-surgical butt lifts, skin tightening on the thighs, and smoothing of chest wrinkles.
