Sculptra: Dermal Filler Injections
what is sculptra
Sculptra isn’t your typical filler. It’s a subtle powerhouse that works beneath the surface to rebuild what’s naturally yours: collagen. Using poly-L-lactic acid—a biostimulator—it gradually restores volume by jumpstarting your skin’s own collagen production. The result? A more lifted, youthful appearance that looks and feels like you—just refreshed.
how it works
Sculptra is injected into areas to restore volume gradually, not instantly. As the poly-L-lactic acid settles in, it activates collagen production deep within the skin. Over time, your skin rebuilds its structure from the inside out—lifting, smoothing, and strengthening with results that are understated, yet unmistakable.

sculptra benefits
collagen regeneration, not just filler
Sculptra rebuilds your skin’s inner support system by stimulating collagen—not just adding volume temporarily. That means results that evolve and last.
gradual, natural-looking improvements
No sudden changes or overfilled look. Sculptra’s effects develop subtly over weeks, leaving you looking refreshed—never altered.
longer-lasting results
While hyaluronic acid fillers last 6–12 months, Sculptra’s collagen-boosting effects can last up to two years with proper treatment.
versatile application
From facial rejuvenation to non-surgical butt lifts and hip dip correction, Sculptra offers sculpting power across multiple areas.
customizable and layered
Each vial builds upon the last. Whether you’re targeting volume loss or structural enhancement, your treatment plan is tailored to you and layered over time for the best effect.

common questions
how many sculptra sessions will i need?
Most patients need a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. The number of vials and sessions depends on your age, volume loss, and treatment goals.
when will i see results from sculptra?
Sculptra results appear gradually over 6–12 weeks as collagen production increases. This slow buildup gives you natural-looking results without dramatic shifts.
how long do results last?
Results can last up to 24 months, especially when you complete the full treatment series and maintain your collagen with annual touch-ups.
is sculptra safe?
Yes. Sculptra is FDA-approved and uses poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that’s safely absorbed by your body over time. Side effects are generally minimal and include temporary swelling or bruising.
can sculptra be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many patients pair Sculptra with Botox®, microneedling, or hyaluronic acid fillers to enhance results or address different layers of the skin.
what’s the aftercare like?
Post-treatment, you’ll be advised to follow the “5-5-5” rule: massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This helps distribute the product and prevent nodules.
does sculptra work for the buttocks and hip dips?
Yes. Sculptra is often used for non-surgical butt lifts and filling hip dips. It stimulates collagen in these areas just like in the face, offering a subtle lift and contour over time.
what makes sculptra different from other fillers?
Sculptra isn’t a quick fix—it’s a long-term strategy. Unlike HA fillers that offer immediate volume, Sculptra gradually rebuilds collagen, offering a more structural, enduring result.
