The practitioner will take great care to achieve your desired results.
Important Side Effects:
Immediately after the procedure, you may experience:
Swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. These are common and usually resolve within a few hours to a few days.
Temporary plumping of the skin, caused by the sterile water used in the injection, which will be absorbed by the body within a few days.
Bruising in some areas, especially in delicate regions, though this is usually mild and temporary.
If you experience any severe side effects, such as intense pain, excessive swelling, or signs of infection, please contact your practitioner right away.
Post-Treatment Care:The Rule of 5
For the best results, it’s crucial to follow the Sculptra Rule of 5:
Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days after your procedure.
This massaging technique helps evenly distribute the product and prevents the formation of lumps or nodules.
You will be shown the proper technique during your visit to ensure effective and safe massaging.
When will you see results?
Sculptra’s effects are gradual. While you may notice a slight improvement in the first few weeks, visible results typically become more noticeable between 6 to 12 weeks as collagen builds up in the treated areas. The process continues to improve over the following months, leading to long-lasting rejuvenation.
Full results may take 2–3 months to fully develop, with improvements lasting up to 2–3 years.
The gradual nature of the results ensures a natural and refreshed appearance without looking overdone.
Long-Term Results and Maintenance
Sculptra’s results are long-lasting, but maintenance may be required to sustain collagen production. Most patients will need two to three treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. After achieving the desired outcome, annual touch-ups are typically recommended to maintain your rejuvenated appearance.
Note: Following all aftercare instructions, especially the Rule of 5, will help ensure the best possible outcome from your Sculptra treatment.

Sculptra is a cutting-edge injectable treatment that restores lost volume and revitalizes your skin from within. Unlike traditional fillers, which simply add temporary plumpness, Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)—a safe, biodegradable substance that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. As your skin gradually produces more collagen, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more youthful. This slow, natural process helps reduce fine lines, tighten sagging skin, and improve overall texture, delivering a refreshed appearance that looks completely natural.
But Sculptra does more than just restore volume—it enhances your skin at a genetic level. Research shows that Sculptra increases the expression of the DK1 gene, a powerful antioxidant that protects tissues from aging for up to three years. This genetic activation makes the skin appear as though it’s suspended in time. Additionally, Sculptra boosts the MCT1 gene, which reduces pigmentation, promoting a clearer, more even complexion.
Whether you want to treat volume loss, smooth wrinkles, or enhance skin firmness, Sculptra offers subtle, long-lasting results that can keep you glowing for up to 2–3 years.
Administration:
Sculptra is administered by a professional injector in a clinical setting to ensure safe and effective results.
The treatment involves injecting poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) into the dermal layer, where collagen production occurs.
Your practitioner will use either a fine needle or a cannula, depending on the area being treated.
For larger areas of the face, they often choose the cannula technique. This method uses a fanning motion to distribute the product evenly, reducing trauma and minimizing bruising.
The acid is injected in a grid-like pattern to ensure uniform coverage and consistent collagen stimulation.
Most patients require at least two Sculptra sessions to achieve their desired results.
However, if you have extensive volume loss or wish to enhance multiple areas, you may need additional sessions.
A typical treatment plan consists of 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, delivering gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation.
To maintain your results, you may need touch-up treatments every few years. This ensures your skin continues to look firm, youthful, and radiant.
Sculptra is a highly effective treatment for both younger and older individuals seeking natural, long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
Younger individuals (20s–30s) can benefit from Sculptra’s collagen-stimulating properties as a preventative anti-aging solution, helping to maintain skin firmness and elasticity. It is ideal for those noticing the first signs of volume loss or seeking subtle enhancements to preserve a youthful appearance.
Older patients (40s–70s) often see transformative results with Sculptra. As collagen production naturally declines with age, Sculptra helps restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve skin texture. It is particularly effective for individuals with:
Hollow cheeks and temples, adding fullness and lift.
Sagging skin and facial laxity, providing a gentle, natural-looking lift.
Overall loss of facial definition, helping to redefine contours and soften deep lines.
Sculptra is also suitable for individuals who:
Want a gradual and subtle enhancement without the instant plumping effect of traditional fillers.
Prefer a non-surgical solution with long-term benefits, as Sculptra stimulates collagen for up to two to three years.
Are seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other cosmetic procedures.
While Sculptra is safe and effective for many, it is not recommended for individuals who:
Have active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the effects on these groups have not been studied.
Have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring, as collagen stimulation may increase the risk of abnormal scar formation.
Are immunocompromised or have autoimmune conditions, including thyroid autoimmune diseases (e.g., Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease), as the immune response may be unpredictable.
Have known allergies to any Sculptra ingredients, including poly-L-lactic acid.
Are seeking immediate volume restoration, as Sculptra works gradually, building collagen over time rather than delivering instant results.
Sculptra aka poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) Injectable must be administrated by a licensed and experienced provider only.
Before undergoing a poly-L-lactic acid Injection, it is important to:
Revitalize your skin from within and restore youthful volume with Sculptra’s collagen-boosting power. Ready for natural, lasting results?
