Sculptra isn’t just a trend, it’s science. Why settle for temporary fixes? Learn more about the treatment that stimulates your body’s own collagen for lasting results…
Sculptra is a FDA-approved biostimulatory aesthetic injectable that helps stimulate your own natural collagen* production to address volume loss, smooth facial wrinkles and improve skin tightness, revealing a refreshed-looking you. Sculptra is classified as a dermal filler, but works differently from other fillers like hyaluronic acid (ex: Juvederm or Restylane). Instead of providing immediate volume, Sculptra gradually improves skin quality and reveals natural-looking firmness by encouraging the body to produce collagen over time.
*Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps maintain your skin’s shape and structure. The skin needs collagen to resist signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. By age 40, most of us have lost up to 20% of our natural collagen.
Common Uses of Sculptra:
- Facial Volume Loss: Often used to treat areas like hollow cheeks, temples, and jawline.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Improves skin texture and smooths out wrinkles over time.
- Buttocks Augmentation: Sometimes used for non-surgical butt lifts or contouring.
- Body Contouring: Helps improve skin laxity in areas like the thighs or upper arms.
How It Works:
- Sculptra is injected into the targeted areas by a trained healthcare professional.
- Once injected, it stimulates collagen production over a series of weeks or months.
- Results are gradual and can last up to two years or more, depending on individual factors.
Treatment Process:
- We usually recommend 2–4 sessions scheduled a few weeks apart.
- Most clients require anywhere from 2 to 7 vials depending on age, desired outcomes, and individual anatomy.
- We advise that results are not immediate but instead develop progressively over time.
- Common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, which usually resolve within a few days.
At Elite, we love to use Sculptra both on its own and in conjunction with hyaluronic acid based fillers for the most optimal results. We recommend it to many of our clients for a long lasting, natural looking outcome!
