Rebuild Your Skin's Foundation From Within
Age-related collagen loss can hollow your cheeks and temples, creating a tired or aged appearance. Sculptra gradually restores natural facial fullness by stimulating your body's own collagen production—for subtle, progressive rejuvenation that looks completely natural.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable collagen biostimulator containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which gradually restores facial volume by stimulating your body's natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works subtly over time, creating natural-looking improvements that develop over several months.
Who Can Benefit from Sculptra?
Sculptra offers exceptional results for those seeking natural facial rejuvenation that addresses the underlying causes of aging. This treatment is particularly effective for specific concerns and goals.
Adults experiencing facial hollowing, sunken cheeks, or temple depression who want gradual, natural rejuvenation.
Individuals seeking long-lasting volume restoration without the maintenance schedule of traditional fillers.
Those wanting overall facial rejuvenation with improved skin quality, not just wrinkle treatment.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra works differently than traditional fillers by addressing the root cause of facial aging—collagen loss. The treatment stimulates your body's natural regenerative processes for gradual, progressive rejuvenation that continues to improve over time.

Strategic Placement
Microdroplets of Sculptra are precisely injected into targeted facial regions where collagen stimulation will provide optimal rejuvenation.

Collagen Regeneration
Over 3-6 months, the Sculptra microparticles stimulate your body to produce new collagen fibers, gradually restoring volume and improving skin quality.

Immediate Post-Treatment
Temporary swelling and minor redness at injection sites typically resolve within 24-48 hours. Some patients experience immediate fullness from the injection fluid, which dissipates in a few days.

Follow the "5-5-5 rule" massage protocol (5 times a day, for 5 minutes, for 5 days) to ensure even distribution of the product and optimal collagen stimulation.
Long-Term Development
Initial results begin to appear after 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases, with full results developing over 3-6 months and continuing to improve with each treatment session.
Recovery Tips
Stay well-hydrated to support collagen production
Perform the recommended massage protocol exactly as instructed
Avoid blood-thinning medications before treatment (with physician approval)
Protect your skin with broad-spectrum SPF daily
