Sculptra®
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a biostimulatory injectable that gradually restores facial volume by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Rather than simply filling lines and wrinkles, Sculptra works beneath the skin to rebuild its structural foundation for subtle, long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation.
As collagen is restored over time, your skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful—without looking overdone.

What To Expect
Your treatment begins with a personalized consultation to create a customized treatment plan based on your goals.
Sculptra is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. Most appointments take 45–60 minutes.
Unlike traditional fillers, results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen. Most patients require a series of 2–3 treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results, with improvements becoming more noticeable over the following months.
