SCULPTRA
YOUTHFUL SKIN STARTS WITHIN.
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen—the most common protein in the body that is used to form a framework to support cells and tissue—for results that can last up to two years!
Why Sculptra?
Sculptra addresses an underlying cause of facial aging, not just the symptoms.
How does Sculptra work?
As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles.
Sculptra works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume.
As the Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production.
Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.
Sculptra may stimulate collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds over time.
What can I expect with Sculptra?
Your specialist will inject treatment into the appropriate dermal plane where strands of collagen support your skin's structure. Over time, Sculptra helps the body reproduce lost collagen.
​
Your natural collagen is restored gradually, with results as soon as 1 month and sustained for up to 2 years.
-
You may notice immediate fullness as a result of the sterile water mixed with Sculptra. These results are normal and temporary as it can take a few days for the water to fully absorb.
Typical treatment is 3 sessions over the course of 3 to 4 months, with sessions at least 3 weeks apart. -
After each session, results should continually improve.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of injection appointments and the number of injections per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost. On average, three injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months.
Prep & Aftercare Instructions:
Please arrive to your appointment with a clean face & no makeup.
​
Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times per day, for 5 days after your treatment.
Within the first 24 hours, apply an ice pack or ice wrapped in a cloth (avoid putting ice directly on your skin) to the treatment area to help reduce swelling.
You may apply makeup a few hours after your Sculptra treatment if no complications are present.
Avoid sun and UV sunlamp exposure until swelling and redness have disappeared.
