Sculptra® Collagen Stimulator
We lose collagen at the rate of 1% per year. If you want to appear more youthful-looking — without appearing like you’ve had work done — then chances are Sculptra® Aesthetic may be a good choice for you. Sculptra® is great for those looking for collagen replacement and for those who haven't started noticing collagen loss yet and want to keep a good thing going! Sculptra pairs well with dermal fillers. Other than sunblock, Sculptra Aesthetic® is one of the most effective anti-aging treatments you can do.
How Sculptra® Works
Sculptra Aesthetic® is made with poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible, biodegradable material that stimulates your own collagen to gradually rebuild lost facial volume through a series of treatments administered by a trained specialist. Results can last for more than 2 years. Annual touch-ups with Sculptra® will maintain your result.

How Long Will the Effects of the Treatment Last?
Because Sculptra relies on your body’s natural collagen growth, results emerge gradually over 4 to 8 weeks after your sessions. Once full correction is achieved, results typically last up to 2 years or longer, with an annual touch-up recommended to maintain collagen production.
What's the first step?
We start with a consultation to plan your treatment. Most patients need 2–3 sessions about 4–6 weeks apart. For 5 days before, avoid blood thinners (unless prescribed by your physician) and supplements that increase bruising, and skip alcohol for 24 hours.
Does Sculptra hurt?
Most patients feel only mild discomfort, since Sculptra is mixed with lidocaine. Afterward, massage the area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days, and avoid strenuous exercise and heat for 24 hours.
Sculptra vs. filler?
Filler adds volume right away. Sculptra stimulates your own collagen gradually for natural-looking results.
