Sculptra is works with your body to help revitalize the production of collagen, the natural substance that gives your skin resiliency, elasticity and shape.
What is it?
Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen — an underlying cause of facial aging — for results that can last more than two years.
Sculptra works subtly and gradually over time for a more youthful-looking appearance. Sculptra helps stimulate your skin’s own natural collagen production to help restore its inner structure and increase facial volume that has been lost to aging.
Collagen is a key structural component of smooth, healthy-looking skin. As you age, your body’s collagen production decreases. In fact, you lose about 1% of collagen per year after the age of 20. This is when you may start to notice the formation of wrinkles. Sculptra can help, even if decades of collagen loss have already occurred.
What to expect
Typically a full treatment of Sculptra involves three to five injection sessions spread over a few months. Injected deep into the dermis, Sculptra stimulates natural collagen and reinforces skin’s structure. The resulting reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness to both shallow and deep facial wrinkles and folds. And since Sculptra is biodegradable, the body has a natural pathway to break it down and eliminate it while leaving natural collagen in its place.
Side effects are minimal. Patients may experience a little tenderness, redness and some swelling around the site of the injection, but these effects generally subside within a matter of days.
For most individuals, however, Sculptra is a safe and subtle approach to not only looking younger but looking healthier too. No one will know but you as Sculptra gradually volumizes your face, providing optimal correction and a more natural look with staying power. Rather than lasting mere months, Sculptra is the only FDA-approved collagen stimulator shown to last two years or more for those who receive the full treatment of Sculptra.

80% of patients were still satisfied with their treatment results 25 months after their last injection.
FDA-approved Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that’s been used by physicians for decades. “It’s totally safe, and there’s no need to test for allergic reactions before injecting Sculptra,” says Dr. Timothy Jochen, a Board Certified Dermatologist who is in the top 1% of facial filler injectors in the nation. “Actually, poly-L-lactic acid has been used in dissolvable sutures for more than 20 years.”
