Sculptra®

Before your Sculptra treatment, our professional team will meticulously apply a topical anesthetic and/or cold therapy to numb the mid-face. The numbing will be specifically targeted along your cheekbones and just above and/or below. Once you are adequately numbed, we will deftly inject Sculptra deep into the dermis to ensure maximum benefit.

The procedure involves precise and delicate injections that may cause a slight pinch. The entire process typically takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete.

After the treatment, our team will provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions and schedule future appointments to monitor your progress and administer additional Sculptra injections.

Sculptra Aesthetic offers virtually no downtime. Although there may be some swelling and bruising, these symptoms will subside in a few days. With multiple treatments, your body will stimulate collagen production in response to PLLA, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and restoring youthful facial fullness. As a final touch, we may suggest a small amount of HA filler. Results with Sculptra aesthetic are typically noticeable within 4-6 weeks and can last up to two years.

The side effects of Sculptra are typically minimal. Some possible side effects include slight swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, but these are generally temporary. For optimal results, it is recommended to massage your face multiple times a day after the injection.

While the number of treatments needed will vary based on individual needs and goals, most patients require at least two to three sessions to achieve the desired outcome.

Cosmetic treatments can be combined with Sculptra to achieve optimal outcomes. Joining treatments together can often result in longer-lasting and more striking effects. Some professional treatments that can be paired include Botox/Dysport and Halo Laser, which effectively smooth out the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Moxi laser, which revitalizes the skin without downtime, and Forever Young BBL, which utilizes BroadBand light by Sciton for photorejuvenation, are also excellent options for pairing.

The immediate results of the procedure may not be noticeable, like hyaluronic acid fillers. Since Sculptra stimulates natural collagen production in the body, it takes time for the results to become apparent, which can be up to 6 weeks.
