Sculptra is a one-of-a-kind, collagen-boosting treatment designed to restore your skin’s volume, texture, and firmness naturally over time. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra gradually encourages your skin to rebuild its own collagen, resulting in long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation. This makes it an excellent option if you’re looking to refresh areas that have lost fullness or elasticity.
To create a tailored treatment, we prepare Sculptra by mixing the powdered formula with bacteriostatic water. The concentration, or dilution, varies depending on the treatment area and your desired outcome.
We take care to mix it gently, avoiding any foam, so you receive a smooth, effective injection without the risk of clogging or lumps. Then, Sculptra is injected in targeted areas like deep fat compartments or over bony structures, providing essential support and volume where needed.
For the best results, we avoid drawing up the carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) that may float to the top of the vial during mixing, as this can create lumps. Instead, we invert the vial, drawing up only the poly-L-lactic acid, which integrates seamlessly. Our experience with Sculptra injections is key, as the results develop gradually, creating a smooth, natural look that aligns with your goals.
Sculptra’s versatility allows it to treat facial areas, the neck, décolletage, arms, hands, and even knees. For areas like the décolletage or arms where the skin is thinner, a higher dilution is used to avoid adding volume while giving the skin a radiant, youthful glow.
We generally use a numbing cream for comfort, and in some cases, lidocaine may be added to Sculptra to reduce any stinging sensation. For sensitive areas like the temples, lidocaine can cause a temporary numbness around the eyes, which some patients prefer to avoid. We’re here to discuss your preferences and adjust for your comfort
To keep your results smooth, we avoid injecting Sculptra directly into high-movement muscle areas, like the jawline. Instead, it’s placed in the deep fat layer or over bone for stable integration. For soft tissue areas, a higher dilution is used to condition skin without adding bulk or risking any lumps.
Post-treatment massage is essential to help Sculptra settle evenly. We recommend massaging the treated area in circular motions for five minutes, five times a day, for five days. This simple routine distributes Sculptra smoothly and ensures natural-looking results.
Because Sculptra works by building collagen, results develop gradually, typically becoming noticeable over a few months. The benefits of Sculptra last up to two years, with regular maintenance treatments helping extend and enhance your results.
Most side effects are mild and short-lived, including slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites.
