Sculptra

Among our transformative aesthetic treatments, Sculptra stands out as an effective dermal filler for lasting rejuvenation. The experienced team at Be CLINICAL understands the intricacies of Sculptra and its remarkable ability to stimulate collagen production, allowing us to address a wide range of concerns for our clients, from facial volume loss to wrinkles to contouring.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an injectable cosmetic filler designed to rejuvenate the face and combat signs of aging. It’s formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a substance that’s both biocompatible and biodegradable.

“Sculptra is a game-changer for those seeking a natural, gradual enhancement. It’s like rewinding time by encouraging your skin to rebuild its strength and volume from within. If you’re looking for subtle, long-lasting results that let your beauty shine, Sculptra is your answer.”

Unlike many other dermal fillers, Sculptra doesn’t deliver instant results; instead, it kickstarts the body’s natural collagen production process over time.

Sculptra is especially suited for individuals looking for subtle, gradual improvements that enhance their natural appearance. It’s commonly used to address volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline, offering a non-invasive solution to restore youthful contours without surgery. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking a long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Once injected, Sculptra acts as a bioactivator, prompting the skin’s innate healing mechanisms. The PLLA particles in Sculptra encourage the generation of fresh collagen, which restores volume, refines skin texture, and diminishes wrinkles and folds.
The treatment journey typically spans multiple sessions across several months, allowing for the gradual emergence of collagen and the attainment of natural-looking enhancements. The number of sessions needed can vary depending on individual requirements and treatment areas.
As the newly generated collagen integrates with the skin’s existing fibers, the effects of Sculptra become evident. Treated areas gradually become smoother, firmer, and more youthful. While results can endure for up to two years, their duration may differ based on individual factors and lifestyle choices.

Where It Can Be Used

Sculptra can be used to restore the face (or body’s) collagen framework for a more youthful appearance. For cosmetic concerns like loose skin on the chest and décolleté, Sculptra injections can help stimulate collagen production, leading to a tightening and lifting effect. By adding volume and improving skin quality, it may enhance the appearance of these areas. 

For buttock enhancement,  Sculptra injections provide a subtle volumizing effect that can lift and tone the skin, enhancing the shape you desire. From head to toe, Sculptra can be safely used for easing the signs of aging.

Facial Volume Loss

Sculptra can restore volume and fullness to areas of the face that have experienced volume loss like the cheeks, temples and under-eye hollows.

Marionette Lines

Sculptra can soften and diminish the appearance of the lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the chin, known as marionette lines.

Nasolabial Folds

Sculptra can help reduce the prominence of the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, known as nasolabial folds.

Temple Volume Loss

Sculptra can replenish lost volume in the temples, which can hollow with age, providing a more youthful appearance.

Cheeks

Sculptra can enhance cheek volume and improve overall facial contour for a lifted and more youthful look with long-lasting, natural results.

Booty Enhancement

Sculptra can be used for non-surgical booty enhancement, providing subtle volume and lift to achieve a more sculpted appearance. It also adds roundness and fullness to the butt and significantly improves the appearance of cellulite.

Smile Lines

Sculptra injections can minimize the appearance of smile lines or “parentheses lines” around the mouth, helping to achieve a smoother and rejuvenated appearance.

Jawline

Sculptra can provide subtle reshaping and contouring along the jawline, improving definition and symmetry. It can also help restore lost volume in that area.

Décolletage

Sculptra can rejuvenate and improve the appearance of the skin on the chest and décolletage, reducing wrinkles and creases caused by aging or sun damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sculptra is different from other dermal fillers in a couple of ways. First, its main active ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid rather than hyaluronic acid. Although hyaluronic acid may also promote collagen production, PLLA is a clinically proven collagen stimulator. Second, Sculptra can last up to 2 years, whereas dermal fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane last for about a year.
You will notice your Sculptra results throughout the following weeks and months after your injections. If you appear the same directly after your treatment, do not get discouraged. Sculptra does not provide immediate results like dermal fillers; however, the long-term benefits are well worth the wait.

The number of Sculptra sessions required can vary depending on individual factors, such as the desired outcome, the severity of concerns and the individual’s response to the treatment. In general, a series of multiple sessions is typically recommended to achieve optimal results with Sculptra.

On average, most patients undergo three to four treatment sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart. This interval allows for sufficient collagen stimulation and gradual improvement in the treated areas.
