The Science Behind Sculptra® Aesthetic
Poly-L Lactic acid (PLLA) has been widely adopted as a safe, bio-compatible, bio-degradable regenerative agent across an array of medical fields. For over 30 years physicians have been using Sculptra to correct volume loss. Once injected, PLLA triggers an inflammatory response that stimulates the development of natural collagen over the next 3 to 6 months. Patients will notice skin tightening, improved volume and lift.

Like most fillers, Sculptra works best as an anti-aging preventative to prolong the development of deep wrinkles and skin laxity. Restorative treatment protocol typically prescribes 1 vial of Sculptra per decade. So, patients in their 50s are likely to require 5 vials to restore and replenish lost collagen. Collagen building is a process, and it needs to happen gradually to achieve the best results. Treatment rule-of-thumb is to treat once a month over a 3 to 4-month period to restructure and renew the collagen framework within each treatment area.
Your Sculptra® Treatment
Filler is an art and it’s a process, we never rush our appointments. During your visit one of our expert injectors will assess the areas that need treatment, educating you about the process while going over your medical history. If you’re a candidate for treatment, we will document before photos and we may apply a topical numbing cream. Treatment takes less than an hour. Patients can expect to see full results in 3 months as collagen building is a process, but it’s worth the wait for long-lasting, natural-looking volume.
