Sculptra is a unique injectable that works subtly and gradually over time. By stimulating your body’s own collagen production, Sculptra can help smooth out wrinkles, restore volume, and improve skin quality, while providing natural-looking and long-lasting results.
Sculptra is a Health Canada and FDA approved injectable biostimulator designed to gradually replace lost collagen, one of the underlying causes of facial aging. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra works by stimulating the skin's natural collagen production, helping to restore structural support to the face over time. This process delivers a more youthful appearance that develops subtly and naturally.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used in medical applications for decades. When injected into the skin, PLLA microspheres stimulate the body's natural collagen production. As the collagen rebuilds, it restores volume and smooths out wrinkles, redistributes tissue to help lift, and smooths out wrinkles and folds, giving the face a rejuvenated appearance.
A typical Sculptra treatment involves injections spaced at least 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions required depends on the individual’s facial structure and desired results. While some patients may be happy after a single session, others may require 2-4 sessions. Each session typically lasts about 30 minutes. Most patients experience minimal downtime, with the possibility of mild swelling, bruising or redness at the injection sites that resolves within a few days to a week or so. Because Sculptra works gradually, the results become noticeable over several weeks or months, offering a subtle, natural enhancement.
The results of Sculptra can last up to two years or more, making it one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available. The longevity of the results is a direct result of your body's own natural collagen. Because of how long it lasts Sculptra can be a great option for those seeking long-term improvement in their facial contours and overall appearance.
Most patients require a series of one to four treatments, spaced at least 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. However, the exact number of sessions will depend on your specific needs and desired outcome.
