WHAT IS SCULPTRA?

Customized approach. Refined techniques.

Confidence that feels natural.

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to restore the skin’s underlying structure by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Rather than providing immediate volume like traditional fillers, it works gradually to rebuild the skin’s foundational support from within, helping improve firmness, elasticity, and overall facial contour over time.

Its active ingredient encourages your body to produce new collagen, which is essential for maintaining youthful, resilient skin. As collagen levels are replenished, areas of volume loss begin to soften in appearance, resulting in a more lifted, smoother, and naturally rejuvenated look.

Because Sculptra works progressively, results develop subtly over several weeks to months, making the improvement look natural rather than sudden. It is commonly used to address signs of aging such as facial hollowing, skin laxity, and loss of structure, helping restore a refreshed and more youthful appearance with long-lasting results.

PRE-CARE

Preparing Your Results

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements
    For 3–7 days before treatment, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and other blood-thinning agents (unless prescribed), to help reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
  • Limit alcohol consumption
    Refrain from alcohol for at least 24–48 hours prior to your appointment, as it can increase sensitivity and bruising at the injection sites.
  • Stay well-hydrated and maintain good nutrition
    Proper hydration and a balanced diet can help support skin health and improve overall treatment response.
  • Inform your provider of medical history
    Let your provider know about any allergies, autoimmune conditions, recent procedures, or medications to ensure Sculptra is safe and appropriate for you.

POST-CARE

Protecting Your Results

  • Massage the treated area (“Rule of 5s”)
    Gently massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days (unless otherwise instructed). This helps distribute the product evenly and supports optimal collagen stimulation.
  • Avoid strenuous activity and heat exposure
    For 24–48 hours after treatment, avoid heavy exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and excessive heat to minimize swelling and irritation.
  • Monitor for mild swelling or bruising
    Some swelling, redness, or bruising is normal and temporary. These effects typically resolve within a few days.
  • Be patient with results
    Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production. Visible improvements typically develop over several weeks to months, with continued enhancement over time.
