Sculptra Q&A

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a cutting-edge dermal filler designed to address signs of aging by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike other fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually to restore lost facial volume and smooth out wrinkles over time. It’s primarily used to improve skin elasticity, fill in hollow areas, and give the face a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

What aesthetic issues can Sculptra address?

Sculptra can address various aesthetic concerns related to aging, including:

Facial volume loss in the temples, cheeks, and jawline
Deep folds like smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Marionette lines, which run from the corners of your mouth to your chin
Skin texture and firmness

It’s an excellent treatment to improve sagging skin and reduce wrinkles. It offers a gradual, natural-looking enhancement, making it a popular choice for long-lasting results.

How does a Sculptra procedure work?

During a Sculptra treatment, your Manhattan Dermatology practitioner injects the poly-L-lactic acid solution into the targeted areas of your face. Your body safely absorbs this biodegradable compound, which helps stimulate collagen production over several months.

The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. Your dermatologist strategically places the injections, ensuring natural-looking results.

What is recovery from a Sculptra session like?

Recovery from a Sculptra session is typically quick and easy. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a few days. You can return to normal activities immediately, though your dermatologist may recommend gentle massage and avoiding strenuous exercise or excessive sun exposure for a short time.

How long will my Sculptra results last?

One of the key benefits of Sculptra is its long-lasting results. Although it may take a few months for the full effects to become visible as collagen builds, the results can last up to two years or more.

Many patients undergo 3-4 treatments, spaced about six weeks apart, to achieve optimal outcomes. Afterward, your practitioner may recommend occasional maintenance to preserve the rejuvenating effects.
