Stimulate your skin’s own collagen. Restore natural volume gradually.
Sculptra® is an injectable treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production for subtle, long-lasting facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers that add immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually, helping to restore your skin’s underlying structure for results that can last up to two years or more.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medical applications for decades. Once injected, it stimulates collagen growth deep within the skin, rebuilding the framework that supports smooth, firm, youthful-looking skin.
Because collagen production takes time, results appear gradually over several weeks and months — perfect for patients who prefer a subtle, “no one can tell” improvement.

What to Expect
Sculptra treatments are performed in the office and typically take 30–45 minutes. Most patients require a series of 2–3 treatment sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to achieve their best results.
A topical anesthetic can be applied for comfort, and the product is often mixed with numbing medication to minimize discomfort. Mild swelling or bruising may occur for a few days after treatment.
Recovery
There is little downtime with Sculptra. You may return to work and normal activities the same day. Post-treatment care includes gentle massage of the treated areas several times daily for the first 5 days to help ensure even distribution.
