What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable biostimulant made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a compound that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume by placing a gel-like substance beneath the skin, Sculptra works gradually by encouraging the skin to rebuild its own supportive structure.
Over the course of several weeks, treated areas become fuller, smoother, and more youthful-looking. Sculptra is ideal for addressing volume loss in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and nasolabial folds. Results develop over time and can last up to two years or longer.

Benefits
What to Expect During Sculptra Treatment
Sculptra injections are performed in-office and typically take about 30–45 minutes. A topical numbing agent may be applied beforehand to enhance comfort. Using precise and strategic injection techniques, the injector places the Sculptra solution into the deep dermis, where it gradually stimulates collagen production.
Some immediate swelling may occur following the injections, but this usually subsides within a few days. Full results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen production increases. A typical treatment plan involves a series of 2–3 sessions spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart.
Duration
Sculptra Recovery and Results
Downtime after Sculptra treatment is minimal, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites may occur but generally resolves within a few days.
Initial improvements are often noticeable within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over 2–3 months. Final results are soft, natural, and long-lasting, with many patients enjoying the benefits of Sculptra for up to two years or longer. Periodic maintenance treatments can help prolong results.
