Sculptra FAQ - everything you need to know

How long does sculptra last?

Sculptra results can last up to two years or more. As a collagen stimulator, Sculptra works gradually, with improvements becoming visible over several months as your body produces new collagen. The effects are long-lasting because the collagen built during treatment helps maintain facial volume and skin firmness over time. While individual results vary, many patients enjoy their enhanced appearance for two years or longer, with occasional touch-ups recommended to sustain the results.

How long does sculptra take to work?

Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Initial results can be seen as early as 4 to 6 weeks after treatment, but the most noticeable improvements typically appear over the course of a few months. The collagen-building process continues long after your session, with results that can last up to two years.

Does sculptra hurt?

Sculptra does hurt to some extent due to the amount of injections required, but most patients describe the experience as tolerable. At A-Class Aesthetics we take steps to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible. We apply a topical lidocaine to the treatment area beforehand and our Sculptra product contains lidocaine to further minimize pain during the injections. Sculptra injections may be discomfortable but the results are well worth it.

Where is sculptra injected

Sculptra is typically injected in areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging or collagen depletion. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, chin, and jawline. These injections help restore natural fullness, improve skin tightness, and enhance facial contours. During your consultation, we’ll determine the best injection sites based on your individual goals and anatomy.

How many treatments will I need?

On average, you will have 2 to 3 treatment sessions over the course of a few months. The number of injections at each session will vary based on the treatment plan determined by you and your aesthetic professional

pros and cons of sculptra

Pros:
- Natural-looking results: Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production, leading to gradual, natural improvements in skin firmness and volume. This is your own natural, biological tissue, and not a man-made filler.
- Long-lasting effects: Results from Sculptra can last up to two years, which is longer than dermal fillers.

Cons:
- Delayed results: Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra uses your body's own framework to restore youthful tissue, which is a gradual process. It may take a few months to see the full effects, which may be frustrating in comparison to dermal fillers where the results are seen immediately.
- More injections: Sculptra requires a higher number of injections than dermal fillers, which can cause more discomfort. However, lidocaine is used to help minimize pain.
- Multiple sessions are typically required: Depending on your treatment goals, several sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.

Is sculptra a biostimulator

Yes, Sculptra is a biostimulator. It works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production rather than simply filling lines and wrinkles. The active ingredient in Sculptra, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), promotes collagen growth over time, helping to restore facial volume and improve skin firmness. This gradual collagen-building process sets Sculptra apart from traditional fillers, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results.

What is sculptra made of

Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used in medical applications for decades. PLLA acts as a collagen stimulator, gradually helping your body rebuild lost collagen to restore facial volume and improve skin firmness. Since it works with your body’s natural processes, the results of Sculptra are both subtle and long-lasting.

Sculptra vs Filler

The main difference between Sculptra and traditional dermal fillers is how they work and how long they last.

Sculptra: Sculptra is a biostimulator that works gradually over time to promote your body’s natural collagen production. Results are subtle and appear over the course of a few months, but the effects can last up to two years or more. It’s ideal for patients seeking long-term, natural improvements in skin firmness and facial volume.

Dermal Fillers: Fillers provide immediate results by adding volume directly to specific areas, such as cheeks, lips, and more. While the effects are instant, they typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler and treatment area. Fillers are better for achieving immediate contouring or addressing isolated areas of volume loss.

Both options are effective in their own ways, but the right choice depends on your aesthetic goals. Sculptra offers gradual, long-lasting, natural results, while fillers provide immediate, targeted volume enhancement.
