What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable biostimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that has been used safely in medical applications for decades. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works beneath the surface to gradually stimulate collagen production, helping your skin restore its structure and firmness over time.
This makes Sculptra® ideal for clients seeking natural, long-lasting facial rejuvenation without the appearance of having had “work done.” It’s especially popular among wellness-conscious adults and professionals who want subtle, progressive results.
How Sculptra® Works
Rather than filling lines or folds with gel, Sculptra® acts as a collagen stimulator. Once injected, the poly-L-lactic acid particles help rebuild lost collagen, the key structural protein responsible for skin elasticity and volume.
Over the course of several weeks to months, your body gradually replaces the lost collagen, resulting in smoother skin, restored volume, and firmer facial contours. The treatment is performed in a series of sessions (typically 2–3), spaced several weeks apart, for optimal and long-lasting results.

What to Expect From Your Sculptra® Treatment
Consultation
Your first step is a detailed consultation with Jenna Wordell, RN, BSN, LE. She’ll evaluate your facial structure, skin health, and aging concerns before developing a tailored Sculptra® treatment plan.
Procedure Duration
Each treatment session typically lasts about 30–45 minutes. The injections are quick and strategically placed for optimal collagen activation.
Pain or Discomfort
Sculptra® is well tolerated by most clients. It includes lidocaine for added comfort, and we also offer topical numbing when needed.
Recovery or Aftercare
You may experience mild swelling or tenderness for 24–48 hours. We’ll guide you through gentle aftercare, including massaging the treated areas to ensure even collagen stimulation.
Need something you can do during your lunch hour? Sculptra® is often called a “lunch break treatment” due to its quick process and minimal downtime.
Results & Longevity
Unlike traditional fillers, results from Sculptra® appear gradually as collagen builds over several weeks. Most clients begin seeing visible improvement in 3–6 weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months.
With a full treatment series, Sculptra® can provide results that last up to 2 years or more, making it one of the longest-lasting options for non-surgical volume restoration.
