request an appointmentWhat is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a filler made of synthetic, biodegradable materials. Its active ingredient is alpha-hydroxy acid poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is FDA-approved and commonly used in various medical applications. Sculptra can take years off your appearance and help you gain more volume without invasive treatments.
What is Sculptra used for?
The Valencia Medical Center experts can use Sculptra on your face or body to:
- Increase collagen and elastin production
- Reduce lines and wrinkles
- Diminish skin sagging
- Improve contours
- Promote the appearance of more muscle mass
- Lessen cellulite
- Promote butt or hip augmentation
- Achieve a butt lift
- Reduce chest, elbow, and knee wrinkles
Sculptra is considered a stimulatory filler because it doesn’t fill up space underneath the treatment areas. Instead, it stimulates new cell growth to build up lost volume naturally and tighten lax skin.
Our specialist may add Sculptra to enhance the look of muscle definition in your biceps, glutes, thighs, pectorals, triceps, or other muscle groups.
What happens during Sculptra injections?
Our aesthetic providers clean and numb the treatment areas before gently injecting Sculptra into specific tissues. Each injection takes a few minutes, though you typically receive multiple injections during each treatment session.
The Valencia Medical Center team often administers Sculptra during a series of treatment sessions. The results improve with each injection as collagen continues to build up. You usually need at least three treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to maximize the results.
Results typically last two years or longer. One study found that 40% of people who had received Sculptra injections still had notable effects after three years.
Is Sculptra right for me?
Valencia Medical Center specialist determines if Sculptra is right for you after discussing your medical history, reviewing your beauty goals, and examining your face or body in areas that concern you. They then tailor your treatment. Sculptra is designed for people who are 18 and older with healthy immune systems.
You’re not a candidate for Sculptra if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or susceptible to certain types of scarring.
