What is Sculptra?
Sculptra® is a biocompatible and biodegradable injectable material that naturally stimulates the body to produce its own collagen. The base product, poly-L-lactic acid, is derived from fruit acids, and is a chemical compound that naturally occurs in the body.
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra® is injected as micro-particles to stimulate collagen production. This increases the skin thickness, adds volume, and restores shape and fullness in treated areas. The results are gradual and long lasting.
What to expect during my appointment?
We will complete a thorough review of your health history, perform a physical examination, discuss your treatment goals, and provide in-depth education about the procedure and medication. When ready to proceed, using a very fine needle, we make a series of injections which typically feel like a small pinch.
When will I see results?
The Sculptra® collagen stimulation process occurs over 3 to 6 months. You may repeat the Sculptra® treatment every 2 months until the desired result is achieved. Once you have the volume you desire, we recommend that you have a single touch-up treatment every 1 to 2 years to maintain results
How long do results last?
Post Sculptra care
We highly recommend massaging the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days to avoid any lumps.
Who should not have Sculptra?
Sculptra® is not recommended for use in pregnant or lactating women, as well as anyone who has had an allergic reaction to the drug or any of its active ingredients.
What are the side effects of Sculptra?
Sculptra® complications are rare, side effects often arise from inappropriate injections and dosing. It is paramount to have a medical practitioner that has extensive knowledge in musculoskeletal physiology and anatomy, pharmacology and hands-on experience to minimize risk and ensure safety. If any concerns arise, we always recommend to follow-up with the treating practitioner.
Possible adverse reactions may include, but are not limited to the following signs and symptoms:
- Pain/bruising at the injection site

How much does it cost?
