Sculptra

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) is a biostimulator that works differently from traditional fillers. Rather than adding immediate volume, it stimulates your body to produce new collagen—creating gradual, natural-looking restoration that can last up to two years.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Sculptra requires the "5-5-5 rule" post-treatment: massage the treated area 5 times daily for 5 minutes for 5 days. This ensures even distribution and prevents nodule formation.

⚠️ Insider Note: Results are gradual—don't expect immediate transformation like with fillers. The wait is worth it for natural-looking, long-lasting improvement that no one can detect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Sculptra different from regular fillers?

Hyaluronic acid fillers add immediate volume that's reversible but lasts 6-18 months. Sculptra stimulates your body to build its own collagen gradually—no instant result, but more natural and longer-lasting (up to 2 years).

How long do results last?

Up to 2 years or more, significantly longer than hyaluronic acid fillers. Some patients maintain results with yearly single-vial touch-ups.

How many sessions do I need?

Typically 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, using 2-3 vials per session. Total of 4-6 vials over the treatment course is typical. Your practitioner will assess your specific needs.

When will I see results?

Gradual improvement over 3-6 months as collagen builds. Initial swelling settles within a week, then face looks "normal" while collagen regenerates invisibly. Full results at 6 months.

Is Sculptra painful?

Mild discomfort—Sculptra is typically mixed with lidocaine for comfort. You'll feel pressure during injection. Post-treatment massage may cause temporary tenderness.

Where can Sculptra be used?

Face (temples, cheeks, marionette lines, jawline) is most common. Body areas like buttocks (Sculptra butt lift) are also possible for contouring.

Are there side effects?

Common: bruising, swelling, tenderness. Nodules can form if massage protocol isn't followed properly. Rare: granulomas (inflammatory nodules) in less than 3% with proper technique.

Who is a good candidate?

Those with overall facial volume loss who want gradual, natural-looking restoration without anyone knowing they had treatment. Ideal for patients seeking long-lasting results who are patient with the gradual improvement timeline.
