What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid injectable treatment that helps restore lost facial volume by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra gradually improves skin thickness and elasticity. It is commonly used to address volume loss in the cheeks, temples, and jawline while softening deep folds, including the nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Candidates for Sculptra
Sculptra is ideal for individuals looking to restore volume loss, improve skin texture, or achieve a more youthful appearance. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and be looking for gradual and long-lasting enhancement. Whether your goal is to smooth deep wrinkles, contour facial features, or achieve overall rejuvenation, Sculptra provides natural-looking results. Dr. Daraei will assess your aesthetic concerns during a consultation and develop a customized treatment plan.
Sculptra Procedure
Sculptra is a non-surgical treatment performed in-office by Dr. Daraei. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes to complete. Before your surgery, you can receive a topical numbing agent to ease your pain. After the numbing cream is effectively working, Dr. Daraei administers Sculptra in targeted areas using precise injection techniques to stimulate collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, results appear gradually over several weeks as collagen builds and enhances facial volume. Most patients require a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal outcomes.
Sculptra Recovery
Recovery following a Sculptra treatment is minimal, allowing patients to resume daily activities with little downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection sites but typically resolve within a few days. To maximize results, patients should avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for 24 hours to help minimize side effects.
