Facial Balancing
with Sculptra

Book an appointment

A collagen-boosting injectable that restores volume and refines facial contours—naturally and gradually.

Sculptra is ideal for patients looking for a gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation. It’s especially effective for those interested in long-term collagen support and subtle, lasting facial contour enhancement. Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that encourages your skin to rebuild its own collagen over time. It’s injected below the skin’s surface to restore support and fullness gradually and is most often used around the face and neck in areas such as temples, cheeks, jawline, chin, and other areas of hollowness. Results improve over a series of treatments (usually 2-3 treatments, 6 week apart).

Sculptra adds subtle volume and lift by stimulating collagen, helping restore a more youthful, filled-out facial shape.

Softens deep folds around the mouth by rebuilding internal support structure, creating a smoother, refreshed appearance while targeting skin laxity, improving overall appearance.

Enhances definition and structure by stimulating collagen in areas prone to sagging or softening with age, creating a more sculpted, balanced profile.

Temples, cheeks, jawline, chin and wrinkles around the mouth, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, neck.

Results

Gradual, natural-looking volume restoration begins within a few weeks, with continued improvement over 2–3 months. Results can last 2 years or more, with some patients experiencing benefits of 4 years or longer. However, it is not a permenent solution to deep wrinkles; maintenance treatments every few years may be needed.

Frequency

Most patients need a series of 2 to 3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on volume loss and aesthetic goals. Maintenance may be needed every 18–24 months.

What to expect

Before your treatment

  • Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory medications for 24–48 hours before your visit to minimize bruising.
  • Come to your appointment makeup-free for best results.

What your appointment will look like

Step 1: Consultation
We’ll assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and create a custom treatment plan based on your goals and natural features.

Step 2: Treatment
Sculptra is injected strategically into areas needing volume or support. A topical numbing agent may be used for comfort. The process takes about 30–45 minutes.

Step 3: Post-treatment
You’ll receive instructions for massaging the treated areas (the “5-5-5 rule”: 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days) to ensure even collagen stimulation and distribution.

After your treatment

  • Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising is normal and usually resolves within a few days. Results build gradually, and we’ll schedule follow-ups to monitor your progress and plan any additional sessions if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does it hurt?

Most patients describe minimal discomfort. A topical anesthetic is used, and Sculptra is often mixed with lidocaine for a more comfortable experience.

Sculptra is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to a lack of safety data in these populations.

This depends on your age, degree of volume loss, and treatment goals. On average, patients need 1 vial per decade of life (e.g., 3 vials if you’re in your 30s), spaced over 2–3 sessions.
