WHAT IS SCULPTRA

Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator made from poly L lactic acid. Rather than adding immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. It is ideal for clients who want progressive improvement, longer lasting results, and a refreshed appearance that looks like their own skin at its best.

Sculptra gradually restores facial volume in areas affected by aging, weight changes, or collagen loss. Treatment areas often include the cheeks, temples, jawline, lower face, and overall skin texture improvements. Over several weeks, Sculptra integrates with your skin to create structure and support, resulting in smoother contours and a healthier looking complexion.

Many clients choose Sculptra in Chicago to improve skin laxity, refine facial shape, soften deeper lines, improve hollowing, and boost overall radiance.

Sculptra offers a range of long lasting rejuvenation benefits including:

• Gradual and natural looking volume restoration

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR TREATMENT

• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment

• Inform your provider of any recent procedures
• Arrive with clean skin free of makeup
• Plan treatments at least two weeks before major events

WHAT TO EXPECT: THE SCULPTRA PROCEDURE

Your appointment begins with a consultation to discuss goals, medical history, and the number of vials recommended for optimal results.

During treatment, the area will be cleansed and prepped for injection. Sculptra is placed strategically to support collagen stimulation in targeted areas. Mild swelling or fullness is normal and resolves within a few days. Over the following weeks, results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen.

A series of treatments may be recommended for best results depending on your goals and degree of volume loss.

• Expect mild swelling or tenderness for a few days
• Bruising can occur
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Massage treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five days as directed

• Results develop slowly over several weeks
• Improvements continue to build for months
• Maintenance sessions help prolong results

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Sculptra last?

Sculptra can last up to two years or longer because Sculptra stimulates your natural collagen production. This collagen building process creates results that develop gradually, and clients often enjoy improvements in facial volume, skin firmness, and contour definition long after the treatment series is complete.

How many vials of Sculptra will I need?

The number of Sculptra vials you will need depends on your age, degree of collagen loss, facial hollowing, and the areas being treated. Most clients benefit from a multi vial treatment plan, because Sculptra requires adequate product to stimulate collagen for long lasting facial rejuvenation.

When will I see results from Sculptra?

You will see results from Sculptra gradually because Sculptra works by stimulating collagen rather than providing instant volume. Most clients begin noticing improvement in four to six weeks as skin structure strengthens and volume slowly returns.

Does Sculptra hurt?

Sculptra is generally well tolerated because Sculptra injections are placed with precision and often include lidocaine to increase comfort. You may feel mild pressure, but any tenderness typically fades quickly.

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra works by delivering poly L lactic acid into the deeper layers of the skin. This encourages your body to produce new collagen, which slowly rebuilds facial volume, improves laxity, enhances firmness, and refreshes the overall complexion.

Is there downtime after Sculptra?

Downtime after Sculptra is minimal because Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that integrates gradually. Most clients resume normal activities the same day aside from avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Temporary swelling or bruising is possible.

Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?

Sculptra can be safely combined with neurotoxins, dermal fillers, microneedling, and skin tightening treatments because Sculptra works by stimulating collagen rather than adding immediate volume. Combination therapy often provides more complete facial rejuvenation.

Is Sculptra safe?

Sculptra is considered safe because Sculptra is FDA approved and uses poly L lactic acid, a biocompatible material that has been used in dissolvable medical sutures for decades. When injected by trained professionals, the treatment is low risk and produces long lasting structural support.

How is Sculptra different from dermal fillers?

Sculptra differs from dermal fillers because Sculptra stimulates collagen instead of providing instant volume. Fillers use hyaluronic acid gel for immediate contouring, while Sculptra gradually restores volume, improves skin quality, and strengthens the underlying facial structure for natural looking, long lasting results.

Who is a good candidate for Sculptra

A good candidate for Sculptra is someone with facial volume loss, hollow cheeks or temples, skin laxity, or deeper folds who prefers natural looking and gradual results. Ideal candidates want subtle rejuvenation through collagen stimulation rather than a filler forward look.
