A needle is used to inject Sculptra just underneath the skin in targeted treatment areas where collagen growth is desired.
Recovery after Sculptra treatment is typically minimal, and most individuals can resume normal activity the same day.
While individual results may vary, results can be seen within 1 month after treatment and can last up to 2 years.
Sculptra is an injectable collagen stimulator that helps to restore facial skin structure by regenerating your body’s own natural collagen.
This helps to firm and smooth skin in your cheeks and jawline. This treatment should only be administered by a trained medical professional, such as a plastic surgeon or physician associate injector.
Consultation: Your first step is to schedule your consultation. During the consultation, you will discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. Dr. Domanski or Jennifer Borges (Physician Associate Injector) will assess your suitability for Sculptra treatment and explain the procedure, including potential risks and benefits.
Preparation: Dr. Domanski or Jennifer will cleanse the treatment area and may apply topical numbing cream if necessary. Alternatively, a numbing agent can be injected into the skin at the treatment injection sites.
Injection: Dr. Domanski or Jennifer will use a needle to inject Sculptra into the targeted areas of the face where collagen regrowth is desired. Injections are just below the surface of the skin. The number of injections will depend on your specific needs and treatment plan. You may feel a slight pinching or stinging sensation during the injections; however, this will become less and less as the Sculptra injections contain lidocaine (numbing medication).
Post-treatment care: You will need to perform daily massages to your face to help evenly distribute the Sculptra. A good rule of thumb is 5-5-5. Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days in a row.
Follow-up and maintenance: You will have at least 2 treatment sessions, sometimes 3, over the course of a couple months. The number of injections at each session will vary depending on treatment plan determined by your initial consultation and the amount of collagen growth you obtained from your first treatment session. After your second treatment session, it is recommended that you get a maintenance treatment once a year.
Sculptra is the first—and original—injectable collagen biostimulator containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA). This treatment should only be administered by a trained medical professional, such as a plastic surgeon or a physician associate injector.
Reduction of wrinkles: Sculptra is used to correct wrinkles on the face, including cheek and chin wrinkles.
Reduction of skin folds: Sculptra helps to reduce shallow-to-deep skin folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds) which as also called “smile lines” as these folds become more prominent when smiling. Sculptra also can treat lines that frame the corners of the mouth, also called “marionette lines.”
Non-surgical treatment: Sculptra offers a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures, such as facelifts, for individuals seeking the address the signs of aging. It is administered through injections, which are generally quick and relatively painless. You will need at least 2 sessions spaced a few months apart, followed by a yearly maintenance treatment.
Long-lasting results: While individual results may vary, Sculptra results can be seen within 1 month of your first injection session, lasting up to 2 years. A yearly maintenance treatment session can help to sustain the desired outcomes over time.
Customizable treatment: The administration of Sculptra can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. This allows your injector to adjust the treatment based on factors such as the area being treated, the severity of the wrinkles or folds, and individual patient characteristics.
