What is Sculptra?

Sculptra helps restore your skin’s foundation by stimulating your  natural collagen production to firm and smooth the entire cheek region  and tighten the skin along the jawline.  As the first—and original—injectable collagen stimulator containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), Sculptra helps restore facial skin structure, which may provide long-lasting skin improvement. 

How many treatments will I need? 

On average, you will have 2 to 3 treatment sessions over the course of a  few months. The number of injections at each session will vary based on  the treatment plan determined by you and your aesthetic professional. 

When will you see results?

Most clinical study participants saw results as soon as 1 month, with  sustained results for up to 2 years. Work with your aesthetics  professional on a treatment plan. Typical treatment is 3 sessions spaced  at least 3 to 4 weeks apart 

What should I do after treatment?

Massage the treated area to evenly distribute Sculptra. A good rule of thumb is 5-5-5: Massage the injected area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days in a row. 

What is collagen?

Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps maintain your skin’s  shape and structure. The skin needs collagen to resist signs of aging,  such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. By age 40, most of us have lost up to 20% of our natural collagen.

Sculptra helps stimulate natural collagen production. The  poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) in Sculptra forms a framework that helps  support and maintain the skin’s inner structure, which may lead to a more youthful-looking appearance.
