Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, offering gradual and long-lasting volume restoration—whereas fillers offer immediate but shorter-term results.

Sculptra results can last 2 years or more, making it one of the longest-lasting facial rejuvenation treatments available.

There’s minimal downtime. Mild swelling or bruising may occur, but you can resume normal activities shortly after treatment.

Most patients need 2–3 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

The rule of thumb is to have one vial of Sculptra for every decade of your age. (Ex: 5 vials total if you are 56 years old, spaced out 4-6 weeks at a time).

Results begin to appear within a few weeks and continue to improve over 3–6 months as collagen builds.
