What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a biostimulatory aesthetic injectable from Galderma that helps stimulate your own natural collagen production to smooth facial wrinkles and improve skin firmness and tightness. Sculptra is also the first and original FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid facial injectable that works from the deeper layers underneath the skin to restore both the structure and skin quality over time.
What skin concerns can Sculptra injections treat?
As we age, we experience increased collagen loss. Sculptra stimulates both type one and type three collagen to combat this loss and target fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging.
What areas can be treated with Sculptra?
Sculptra may be used to treat the mid and lower face including cheeks, smile lines, marionette lines, temples, and jawline.
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra works from the deeper layers underneath the skin to restore the structure, helping to stimulate collagen production and restores skin quality over time. Sculptra showed a 66.5% increase in Type 1 collagen over 3 months after treatment.Â
How does Sculptra compare to other injectable treatments?
Unlike injectables such as Botox, which softens fine lines and wrinkles, and fillers, which add volume and definition to the face, Sculptra focuses more on stimulating collagen production.
How many Sculptra injections will I need?
Most patients will need one vial of Sculptra per side of their face. Some patients may need less, and some may need more. It will depend on the surface area of the patient's face, the desired areas being treated, as well as the age of the patient.
How long will the results last?
At 3 months post-treatment, results will be at 33% potential. By 6 months, patients will see the full treatment potential. These results can last up to 2 years.
What is the post-treatment care for Sculptra?
