What Happens During the Procedure?

During your Sculptra treatment, our qualified practitioner will assess your facial and body contours, discuss your aesthetic goals, and ensure you are a good candidate for this procedure.

The injection process is relatively quick, lasting about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treated areas. A local anesthetic may be used to enhance your comfort during the procedure.

What Aftercare Instructions Are Needed?

To optimally care for your skin post-treatment, we recommend following these simple guidelines:

• Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for 24-48 hours.
• Use gentle cleansing methods and refrain from applying makeup to the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
• Massaging the injection sites is encouraged to help distribute the product evenly—make sure to follow your practitioner’s exact instructions. This is an important step and different from other fillers. Don’t skip it!

What is the Recovery Time Like?

Sculptra requires minimal downtime, allowing most patients to return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

You may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Use an NSAID pain reliever if you feel sore.

You should notice your skin looking plumper or fuller within a month after your injection.

Is Sculptra a Safe Treatment?

Yes! Sculptra is an FDA-approved dermal filler used by thousands of people.

Our certified providers will also screen you to ensure you are a good fit for this procedure.

Don’t use this filler if you’re allergic or sensitive to any components or have trouble healing after an injury.

Possible but rare side effects include swelling, bruising, skin discoloration, pain or discomfort, itching, and bumps or lumps underneath your skin.
