What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an FDA-approved biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance that works beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that add instant volume, Sculptra focuses on long-term skin quality improvement, making it an ideal choice for those looking to enhance skin texture, smooth deep wrinkles, and improve laxity.

As collagen levels decline with age, skin loses its firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. Sculptra gradually restores structural support to the skin, improving fine lines, crepey texture, and sagging without creating an overfilled look. By encouraging your skin to rebuild itself from within, Sculptra delivers natural, long-lasting rejuvenation, helping you achieve firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

Sculptra Benefits

Sculptra provides more than just cosmetic enhancement—it helps rebuild your skin’s foundation for lasting results. Benefits include:

  • Improves elasticity and creates a naturally youthful appearance
  • Improve deep facial wrinkles, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Stimulates natural collagen to support healthier, firmer skin
  • Offers a minimally invasive treatment with no incisions or scars
  • Little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately
  • Restores facial volume and enhances contours

Sculptra is an effective treatment for achieving a younger appearance without the need for surgery.

Sculptra Candidates

Sculptra is ideal for adults seeking a non-surgical way to address visible signs of aging. Many patients who benefit from Sculptra are those who:

  • Focus on the skin texture improvement from old and crepy to younger and firmer
  • Have concerns about facial wrinkles such as chin wrinkles or nasolabial folds
  • Want a gradual, natural-looking improvement
  • Are free from skin infections or allergies to lactic acid or PLLA

Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain health conditions may need to explore alternative treatment options. A personal consultation is the best way to determine if Sculptra is right for you.

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation, Dr. Bonakdar or a skilled injector will:

  1. Evaluate your skin’s condition and discuss your goals
  2. Develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include other treatments for optimal results
  3. Explain what to expect before, during, and after the procedure

To prepare for your Sculptra treatment:

  • Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and other blood-thinning substances for at least 24 hours
  • Use gentle skincare products leading up to your appointment

Your Sculptra Treatment

Your Sculptra injections will be performed in a comfortable office setting and typically take 30-60 minutes. Here’s how the process works:

  1. Preparation: A topical numbing agent is applied to ensure your comfort.
  2. Injection: Using fine needles, the injector administers Sculptra into the targeted treatment areas, such as sunken cheeks or marionette lines.
  3. Massage: The treated areas are massaged gently to distribute the product evenly.

Most patients find the procedure straightforward, with only minor swelling or redness at the injection sites.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Sculptra results appear gradually as collagen production increases. Patients typically notice improvement within 4-6 weeks, with full results visible after 2-3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. The effects can last up to two years with proper care.

Post-Treatment Care:

  • Massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times daily, for 5 days
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 24-48 hours
  • Protect your skin with sunscreen
  • Refrain from intense physical activity immediately after treatment

With maintenance, Sculptra helps you achieve and sustain a naturally youthful appearance.
