SCULPTRA
Sculptra is a new and innovative procedure for treating volume loss and reducing the look of folds and wrinkles while providing long lasting results. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers (i.e. dermal fillers) which provide instant results, Sculptra works gradually over time by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, providing a subtle but noticeable difference to your complexion.
The benefits of Sculptra are vast, with patients seeing natural looking, long-lasting improvements in facial volume, wrinkles and folds, and other signs of aging. Since Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production, results can last up to 3 years.
If you are looking for natural-looking, long lasting results that help to restore volume and reduce wrinkles, then Sculptra may be the right choice for you. Book a free consultation to determine the best treatment for you.

During Sculptra treatment, a small amount of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is injected into specific areas of the face to stimulate collagen production and restore volume over time. Below outlines what is involved in a Sculptra treatment:
Consult: each patient undergoes a consultation with a qualified nurse to assess facial anatomy, discuss aesthetic goals, and determine if Sculptra treatment is best option for you.
Skin Prep: before treatment, a topical numbing gel is applied to minimize discomfort during injection. The treatment area is also cleansed and disinfected to remove any makeup, oils, or debris.
Injection: using a fine needle, Sculptra (containing PLLA) is injected into the treatment areas of the face, such as cheeks, temples, jawline, or areas with wrinkles or folds.
Massage: after each injection, treatment areas are massaged to distribute the product evenly and minimize irregularities.
Post-Treatment Care: following treatment, post-care instructions will be provided to prevent any risk of side effects and optimize results. This includes avoiding strenuous exercise, avoiding sun exposure, or certain skincare products for a certain amount of time.
Follow Up Sessions: To optimize results, it is recommended to have multiple follow-up sessions spaced several weeks apart. We will create a customized treatment plan during your consultation based on your needs and aesthetic goals!

After a Sculptra treatment session, results can be seen both immediately and gradually over time.
Immediate results are mostly temporary, due to the volume added by the injected product itself. However, the gradual results are long term; as the poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) continues to stimulate collagen production over several weeks to months, leaving you with improved volume, texture, and overall appearance.
Recovery is very minimal, and most individuals are able to return to normal activities immediately after treatment. However, it’s common to experience some swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, which should subside within a few days.
Results generally last up to 2 years or more, making it a long-lasting option for facial rejuvenation.

$800+ per session.
On average, a full treatment with Sculptra may require 2-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart. During each session, more than one vial of Sculptra may be injected into various areas of the face to gradually build volume and stimulate collagen production.
The exact number of sessions needed for Sculptra treatment will depend on your needs and desired results. This will be determined during the initial consultation where we will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored just for you.
