Sculptra
Stimulate collagen for subtle rejuvenation.
Sculptra 101: What to know before you start.
-
Sculptra is a biostimulator designed to gradually restore volume and improve skin quality from within. Unlike traditional fillers, which add immediate volume, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production to enhance firmness, elasticity, and structure over time. The result is a subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation that looks completely natural.
-
After a personalized consultation, Sculptra is injected into targeted areas using fine needles or cannulas. The procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes. Collagen production begins in the weeks following treatment, with results developing gradually and improving over several months. A series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart is often required for optimal results.
-
Results appear gradually as collagen rebuilds beneath the skin, with visible improvement typically starting within 4–6 weeks. Skin continues to strengthen and smooth over the following months, with results lasting up to 2 years or longer. Many clients notice enhanced firmness, lift, and improved skin texture as collagen continues to develop.
-
Most clients require a series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The number of vials and sessions will be determined during your consultation based on your goals and anatomy.
-
As a general rule of thumb, many people receive approximately one vial per decade of age (for example, 3 vials in your 30s, 4 vials in your 40s, and so on). This can vary depending on individual collagen loss and treatment goals.

Sculptra post-care instructions.
Sculptra works gradually, building collagen beneath the surface, so after your appointment, it’s all about giving your skin time to do its thing.
Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, and heat exposure for the first 24 hours, and avoid facial massaging, microneedling and lasers on the treated areas unless directed otherwise. Mild swelling or tenderness is normal and usually fades within a few days.
You’ll start to see subtle changes over the next several weeks as collagen production increases. Full results develop gradually and can last up to two years with a series of treatments.
If you have any questions or experience unexpected swelling, get in touch — we’re here to guide you through every step of your skin’s renewal.
