Want a restored, naturally rejuvenated look? Sculptra is the volumizing, fine line-erasing, skin-smoothing treatment that puts your own collagen to work for long-lasting results!
What You Need to Know About Sculptra
What Makes Sculptra Stand Out?
Sculptra isn’t like other fillers. “Sculptra is an injectable collagen biostimulator (aka skin booster) that works uniquely by stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production,” explains New York dermatologist Elaine Kung, MD. “Its main component is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic polymer that has been used safely in medical devices for decades.”
Dr. Kung continues, “Rather than providing immediate volume like hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra gradually helps to rebuild lost collagen and elastin, resulting in a more youthful and natural-looking appearance over time.”
How Long Does It Take to See Results from Sculptra?
Since this treatment is kick-starting your skin’s collagen production, you’ll start to see results a few weeks after treatment.
What Does Sculptra Treat?
“Sculptra’s stimulation of the body’s natural collagen production restores facial volume and improves skin firmness,” explains Southlake, TX dermatologist Janine Hopkins, MD. Additionally, patients can expect to see renewed texture and tone.
New York dermatologist Julie Russak, MD typically recommends more than one treatment of Sculptra. “We recommend Sculptra as a series of injections because it is a stimulatory procedure,” she explains. “It does take time for our body to produce collagen and elastin. However, the very first signs that patients report are really the improved skin tone, texture and glow of the skin.”
