SCULPTRA
Sculptra is not your average filler. Designed to work at a cellular level, Sculptra doesn’t just fill, it rebuilds. Unlike traditional fillers that offers instant results, Sculptra works gradually to restore facial structure and volume lost during the aging process.

Frequently Asked Questions
HAVE QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED.
What is Sculptra? Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to gradually restore volume and improve skin texture. It’s not a filler—it works beneath the skin to rebuild structure over time for a subtle, youthful glow that lasts.
How is Sculptra different from traditional fillers? While traditional dermal fillers provide immediate volume by placing gel-like substances under the skin, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen. Results appear more slowly but are longer-lasting—often up to 2+ years.
Who is an ideal candidate for Sculptra? Sculptra is ideal for those looking for subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation and collagen restoration—especially if you want to avoid the “overfilled” look. It’s suitable for individuals with moderate to drastic volume loss.
What areas can be treated with Sculptra? Sculptra is used to treat: Cheeks and midface volume loss, temples, jawline, marionette lines, & chin wrinkles.
When will I see my Sculptra results? Sculptra is a gradual process. You may notice some immediate volume due to swelling, but true results begin to appear within a few weeks, improving progressively over several months as collagen builds.
Is Sculptra safe? Yes—Sculptra has been used safely worldwide for over two decades. It’s made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible, biodegradable substance commonly used in dissolvable sutures.
What is the downtime after a Sculptra? Sculptra has minimal downtime, making it easy to fit into your routine. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities the same day or next.
What should I know BEFORE my Sculptra appointment? To ensure the best results and minimize side effects, please follow these guidelines before your Sculptra treatment: 1–2 Weeks Before: Avoid blood thinners (if medically appropriate). Pause alcohol consumption 48 hours prior to your appointment to reduce risk of bruising. Let us know if you have any active skin infections, rashes, cold sores, or are feeling unwell. 3–5 Days Before: Discontinue retinols, retinoids, and other strong active skincare ingredients. These can increase skin sensitivity and the risk of irritation or inflammation after injections. Day Before & Day Of: Stay well hydrated—drink plenty of water. Avoid heavy exercise or heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs) 24 hours before your appointment. Come with a clean face—no makeup, lotions, or skincare products on the treatment area.

What to Expect Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness is normal and should resolve in a few days. Bruising may occur and can last up to a week. Full results develop gradually over 6–12 weeks as collagen builds. Call us if you notice: Persistent pain, hard lumps, or unevenness. Signs of infection (redness, warmth, pus, or fever).
