Sculptra®: Collagen Stimulation for Natural, Long-Term Volume

Sculptra® is not a traditional filler. It’s a biostimulatory injectable designed to restore volume gradually by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Rather than instantly “filling” an area, Sculptra works over time to rebuild structure from within—creating results that look natural, balanced, and long-lasting.

This makes it an ideal option for patients who want subtle rejuvenation and improved skin quality without looking overfilled or artificial.

​

What Is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that has been safely used in medicine for decades. Once injected, it acts as a signal to your skin to begin producing new collagen.

Instead of adding volume directly, Sculptra encourages your body to do the work—resulting in gradual, natural-looking improvement that evolves over weeks to months.

​

How Does Sculptra® Work?

As we age, collagen production slows, leading to:

• Facial hollowing

• Loss of structural support

• Skin laxity and thinning

• A tired or deflated appearance

Sculptra works by:

• Stimulating collagen production deep within the skin

• Gradually restoring lost volume

• Improving skin thickness, firmness, and elasticity

• Creating results that develop naturally over time

Because collagen regeneration takes time, Sculptra results are progressive, not immediate—but they are also longer-lasting than many traditional fillers.

​

Who Is a Good Candidate for Sculptra®?

Sculptra may be ideal if you:

• Have age-related volume loss or facial hollowing

• Want subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation

• Prefer gradual improvement over instant change

• Are focused on long-term facial structure and skin health

• Want to avoid an overfilled or “done” appearance

It is especially popular for patients looking to restore youthful contours rather than target a single line or fold.

​

Areas That Can Be Treated

Sculptra is commonly used to restore volume and structure in:

• Cheeks and midface

• Temples

• Jawline

• Lower face

• Pre-jowl sulcus

• General facial hollowing

Treatment focuses on global facial balance, not spot correction.

​

What to Expect From Treatment

• Treatment time: ~30–45 minutes

• Downtime: Mild swelling or bruising possible

• Results: Gradual improvement over weeks

• Longevity: Often lasts 2+ years after full treatment series

Most patients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal collagen stimulation.
