Reclaim a Younger You
Sculptra is a unique treatment designed to restore facial volume and smooth out deep wrinkles and folds. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating your body's own collagen production, providing results that can last up to two years or more. Ideal for those seeking a subtle, natural-looking lift without surgery. Sculptra gradually enhances facial contours, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Procedure and Recovery
During your Sculptra session, a fine needle is used to inject the product deep into the skin where volume loss has occurred. Sculptra’s main ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, acts as a collagen stimulator, gradually restoring the fullness of your face. The procedure is quick and, aside from a little discomfort from the injections, relatively painless.
Recovery is minimal, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately. You may experience slight swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.
While Sculptra is considered safe, there are potential risks like minor bruising, swelling, and, in rare cases, small bumps under the skin that may or may not be visible and typically resolve on their own.
FAQs
The effects of Sculptra are long-lasting, typically remaining visible for up to two years after the final treatment session.
Individuals with a history of severe allergies, particularly to any of Sculptra’s components, or those with active skin infections at the injection sites should avoid the treatment.
Most clients require 2-3 treatments spaced about a month apart to achieve their desired results, but this can vary based on individual needs.
Sculptra’s results are gradual. You may start to see improvements within a few weeks, but optimal results usually appear after a few months as your body generates new collagen.
