Sculptra
Activate the skin’s natural regenerative process with Sculptra to help replenish lost facial collagen.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen—the most common protein in the body that is used to form a framework to support cells and tissue—for results that can last up to two years.
Sculptra is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps to rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments administered by a trained specialist.
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra may stimulate collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds over time.
- As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles.
- Sculptra works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume.
- As the Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production.
- Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.

The procedure takes about 30-45 minutes depending on treatment area. It is sometimes considered uncomfortable but only during the time of the treatment. We have options for pain control and the energy is easily adjusted if the topical numbing cream is not adequate.
