What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a safe, biocompatible, biodegradable substance used in medical applications for over 20 years (including dissolvable surgical sutures).
Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating your body to rebuild lost collagen, improving the skin’s structure, thickness, and elasticity over time. It treats the root cause of volume loss rather than simply filling lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra’s poly-L-lactic acid particles stimulate collagen production deep within the
dermis. As new collagen forms, the skin regains volume and firmness.

How is Sculptra different from hyaluronic acid fillers?

HA fillers provide immediate volume by physically filling space under the skin. Sculptra stimulates collagen over time, creating gradual, long-lasting improvements. Both can be used together for comprehensive results.

How many sessions do I need?

Typically, patients require a series of 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. A general rule of thumb is one vial per decade of age.

When will I see results?

Results appear gradually over several weeks to months as collagen builds. Most patients
see significant improvement around 3 months after their final session.

How long do results last?

Clinical studies show results lasting 2 years or longer, with ongoing collagen production offering continued skin benefits.

Is Sculptra safe?

Yes! Sculptra has been safely used for decades with FDA approval. When administered by
trained professionals, risks are minimal. Side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or
tenderness.

Is there downtime?

Most patients resume normal activities right away. We recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 24-48 hours after treatment.

Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely! Sculptra pairs beautifully with dermal fillers, Botox/Dysport, PRF, and other skin rejuvenation treatments for full-face harmonization.

Pre-Treatment Recommendations:

Avoid NSAIDs, alcohol, fish oil, and supplements like Vitamin E 10-14 days prior to minimize bruising - Notify your provider if you have a history of cold sores - Consider Arnica supplements to help prevent bruising - Eat a good meal beforehand to prevent lightheadedness - Schedule 1-2 weeks prior to
important events to allow time for settling

Post-Treatment Recommendations:

Massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times daily for 5 days - Use cold compresses for swelling as needed - Avoid strenuous exercise for 1-2 days - Sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first night - Monitor for any side effects and contact your provider with concern
