Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen. It restores volume while tightening and thickening the skin.
Sculptra is not like a regular hyaluronic acid filler that immediately volumizes and gives visible results right away. With Sculptra®, you’ll see a natural filling effect within the first couple days, followed but a decrease in volume. At this point, the body slowly starts to produce its own collagen, re-establishing volume that has been lost over time.
As explained on the Sculptra® website, “Sculptra Aesthetic is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps to rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments. Over time, Sculptra Aesthetic helps the body reproduce lost collagen. On average, three treatments are needed over a period of a few months. The number of treatments and the number of vials per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost.
Noticeable results are usually visible within 3-4 months.
Results can last up to two to three years.
The number of treatments varies from person to person, but on average, three treatments is recommended.
Bruising is possible, plan 2 weeks ahead of any events/vacations.
