What is Sculptra?

Sculptra treatments will help enhance the overall appearance and volume of the face. Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) filler and collagen stimulator. It has a long history of safe and effective results. It has been used since the 1990s in patients with a long safety record. It is a unique injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume and stimulate collagen production over time. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra works gradually, providing subtle, natural-looking results that improve over several months. It's an excellent option for those looking to address facial aging and enhance their skin's overall structure and elasticity. Sculptra treatments produce a natural, beautiful contour that shaves off years of aging wrinkles.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Decreased collagen production is a natural part of aging and the reason we start to see wrinkles, sagging, hollows, and other unwanted changes to our appearance. Sculptra works to gradually replace diminished collagen to slow the aging process on the inside and “turn back the clock” on the outside. Made from an absorbable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra acts a fertilizer deep beneath the skin, boosting collagen production and helping to restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. With a series of treatments, the remodeled collagen strands restore lost volume, provide fullness to smooth out wrinkles and folds, and gradually tighten the skin over the course of several months.

During a Sculptra treatment session, the injection sites are marked, and the filler is injected directly into the problematic areas. The product is delivered through a fine needle or cannula, and multiple layers are injected gradually until the desired contour has been achieved. The treatment is pain-free; although a numbing cream is usually applied first to reduce any discomfort from the needle.

A Sculptra treatment session lasts around 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated and the extent of the cosmetic issues. On average, 2 to 3 treatment sessions spaced a few weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.

Key Benefits of Sculptra:

- Gradual and Natural Results: Sculptra works over time, allowing for a more subtle transformation that looks natural and is less noticeable to others.

- Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last up to two years or longer, making it a long-term solution for facial rejuvenation.

- Collagen Stimulation: Sculptra not only adds volume but also improves skin texture and elasticity by stimulating collagen production.

- Non-Surgical: A minimally invasive option for those who want to avoid surgery or more aggressive treatments.

- Customizable Treatment: The number of sessions and amount of product can be tailored to your specific needs and goals.

What to Expect During Sculptra Treatment?

- Consultation: A thorough consultation with one of Jules medical providers to discuss your goals and assess your facial structure. The provider will determine the appropriate treatment plan, including the number of sessions required after evaluating your volume loss and skin elasticity.

- Procedure: Sculptra is injected into the targeted areas using a needle or cannula on specific areas of the face or body. The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

- Aftercare: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection sites but typically resolves within a few days. The key and most important part of aftercare in Sculptra procedures is to ensure that patients massage 5 minutes a day, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This helps with ensuring the product distributes evently minimizing the potential for nodules or lumps. Patients can resume their normal routine right after treatment, but should refrain from any strenuous activities for the first 48 hours. It is advised to not apply any pressure to the face, and to sleep upright the first evening following treatment.

When Will You See Results?

Sculptra works gradually, with results becoming more noticeable after a few weeks as collagen production increases. Most patients see significant improvement after a series of treatments, typically 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The process of neocollagenesis (new collagen) normally takes 90-120 days, thus the full effects of each Sculptra session can be seen within 3-6 months.

Sculptra FAQ

Is Sculptra Safe?

Sculptra is synthetic based and approved by the FDA. It has been tested extensively and has been proven to be safe and effective for cosmetic use. It utilizes processed poly-L-lactic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in humans, so rejection to the product is rare. Temporary side effects include mild swelling and bruising, and possible pain and redness around the injection sites.

When Should I Get Sculptra?

As wrinkles and creases are typical with aging candidates, anyone who needs volume may be a candidate for a Sculptra treatment. Statistics show that the most common age groups who seek this treatment are those between 30 to 55 years old. The younger age group may seek treatment due to premature skin aging caused by personal habits or environmental factors such as extreme sun exposure.
