What is Sculptra?

Sculptra® Aesthetic injectable is used to reverse the signs of facial fat loss that occur with aging. By restoring collagen, which decreases as the body ages, it fills out shallow-to-deep wrinkles and folds that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds). It is not appropriate for use in the eye and lip areas.

Sculptra Treatment and Results

Sculptra Aesthetic injections are designed to be a one-time treatment. A patient can have up to four injection sessions, which are spread three weeks apart. When injected into shallow-to-deep folds and lines, the additional collagen that is produced smooths them out, and adds volume to the skin. Results of Sculptra injections vary but, in a clinical study, their effects were shown to last for up to two years in most patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sculptra, and how does it work?

Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable treatment that gradually restores facial volume and smooths wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. At Sanctuaire MD, we use Sculptra to help clients achieve a more youthful, natural-looking appearance over time.

Sculptra Aesthetic’s main component is an alpha hydroxy acid called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a safe and long-lasting synthetic (artificially created), biocompatible (can be used harmlessly in the body), biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body) substance. PLLA has been used for more than 20 years in many surgical products, including dissolvable sutures and soft-tissue implants.

What areas can Sculptra treat?

Sculptra is commonly used to restore volume in areas like the cheeks, temples, jawline, and smile lines. Here at Sanctuaire MD, our experienced injectors tailor each treatment to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.

Is Sculptra safe?

Yes, Sculptra is FDA-approved and has a proven safety record when administered by trained professionals. Sanctuaire MD’s team of skilled injectors ensures a safe and comfortable experience for every client.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved for the treatment of nasolabial folds, Sculptra Aesthetic is considered safe and effective for most patients. Because it works gradually, patients achieve a more youthful, natural-looking appearance with subtle, yet noticeable, results. Although not FDA-approved to treat them, according to manufacturer Sculptra Aesthetic can be used on marionette lines (at the corners of the mouth) and chin wrinkles. Because it contains no animal, human or bacterial components, allergy testing is not necessary prior to treatment. There is little-to-no downtime after receiving Sculptra injections; most patients return to their normal activities immediately.

Am I a good candidate for Sculptra?

Sculptra is ideal for clients who want to restore volume loss and improve skin texture without immediate volumizing effects. At Sanctuaire MD, our team will assess your needs during your consultation to determine if Sculptra is the right choice for you.
