Sculptra

The facial concerns that can be effectively treated with Sculptra include:

• Deep wrinkles and folds: This includes nasolabial folds (the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth down to the chin).

   

• Facial volume loss: This is one of Sculptra’s key strengths. It can restore fullness to areas that have become hollow or sunken, such as:

   

  • Cheeks: It can restore the natural curve and youthful plumpness of the cheeks.

     

  • Temples: It can fill in hollows in th

The key thing to understand about Sculptra is that its results are gradual and not immediate. This is because it’s not a traditional filler that simply adds volume. Instead, it works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production.

Here’s a breakdown of the timeline you can expect:

• Immediately after treatment: You may notice some temporary fullness or swelling. This is due to the sterile water in which the Sculptra is mixed and is not the final result. This initial volume will subside within a few days.

   

• Within a few weeks to a month: You may not see significant changes right away. This is the “waiting game” phase where the PLLA particles are starting to do their work, stimulating your body’s collagen-building process deep within the skin. Some people might notice a subtle improvement in skin texture or a healthy glow during this time.
