everything you need to know
What to expect during a Sculptra treatment?
A Sculptra appointment takes about 45–60 minutes to allow time for consultation, numbing, aftercare review, and the injection process. The injections themselves typically take 5–10 minutes, depending on how many vials are used. Mild fullness or swelling may occur afterward, but most patients return to normal activities the same day. Results develop gradually in the weeks that follow, creating a natural, refreshed appearance.
What is the healing process like after Sculptra?
-
Most patients experience mild swelling or a feeling of fullness for 24–48 hours. These effects are temporary and you can resume normal activities the same day. Bruising is possible but typically minimal.
When will I see results from Sculptra?
-
Sculptra results develop gradually. You may notice subtle changes as early as 4–6 weeks, with continued improvement as your body builds new collagen.
How long does Sculptra last?
-
Sculptra results can last up to two years or more, depending on the number of vials used and your collagen response.

How it works
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biostimulatory ingredient that helps your body gradually rebuild collagen. Instead of adding immediate volume, it works beneath the surface to strengthen the skin and restore fullness over several weeks. Sculptra offers natural, long-lasting rejuvenation, improving skin quality and restoring volume through your body’s own collagen-building process.
