Collagen Stimulator
Sculptra® Aesthetic
The only volumizer scientifically designed to stimulate natural collagen growth. Gradual, natural-looking results that last more than two years.
Sculptra Aesthetic, or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a unique facial injectable that replaces collagen lost during the aging process. Sculptra Aesthetic is the only volumizer scientifically designed to stimulate natural collagen growth and lasts more than two years.
How Sculptra Works
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that fill wrinkles and folds, Sculptra Aesthetic works within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin's inner structure and volume. As the PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. The rebuilt collagen strands begin reinforcing the skin's inner structure and restoring facial volume that has been lost to aging.
Treatment Areas & Results
Sculptra Aesthetic is used to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, including smile lines, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. It is also used to restore volume to the temples, cheeks, and other areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging. Results appear gradually over the treatment regime (typically three injection sessions over the course of a few months) and can last more than two years.
Benefits
Why Choose Sculptra Aesthetic
Natural Collagen Rebuilding
PLLA microparticles stimulate your body to produce its own collagen, restoring volume from within for truly natural-looking results.
Results Last 2+ Years
Among the longest-lasting injectable treatments available. Your own rebuilt collagen maintains the improvement long after treatment.
Gradual, Subtle Change
Results develop over weeks and months, so the improvement looks natural to those around you rather than sudden or obvious.
Deep Structural Restoration
Works within the deep dermis to reinforce skin structure, not just fill surface lines. Addresses the root cause of volume loss.
Ideal Candidates
Is Sculptra Right for You?
Sculptra Aesthetic is ideal for adults who want to address the underlying cause of facial aging — collagen loss — rather than simply filling wrinkles. You may be a good candidate if you have lost facial volume in the temples, cheeks, or midface, or if you have moderate to deep wrinkles and folds.
Sculptra is particularly well-suited for patients who prefer gradual, natural-looking improvement and long-lasting results. Because results develop over several months, Sculptra is an excellent choice for those who want a subtle transformation that does not announce itself. Candidates should be in generally good health and not pregnant or nursing.
The Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Your clinician evaluates your facial structure and volume loss, discusses your goals, and determines if Sculptra is the right approach. All cosmetic consultations at Bair Medical Spa are complimentary.
First Treatment Session
PLLA is injected into the targeted areas. The treatment typically takes thirty to sixty minutes. Topical numbing and other anesthetic techniques ensure your comfort.
Follow-Up Sessions
A typical regime involves three injection sessions spaced over a few months. Each session builds upon the previous one as collagen production is progressively stimulated.
Gradual Results
Over weeks and months, your body produces new collagen that restores facial volume and smooths wrinkles. Results last more than two years.
Recovery & Results
Collagen That Builds Over Time
After each Sculptra session, you may experience minor swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Your clinician will recommend massaging the treated areas as directed to ensure even distribution of the product.
Results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen. The rebuilt collagen strands reinforce your skin's inner structure, restoring volume and smoothing wrinkles naturally. Full results become apparent after the treatment regime is complete and can last more than two years.
Because the results are built from your own collagen, they look and feel natural. Your Bair Medical Spa clinician will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Sculptra results last?
Sculptra Aesthetic results can last more than two years. Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra works by stimulating your body to rebuild its own collagen over time. The gradual improvement means results look natural and endure because they are built from your own collagen.
How many Sculptra treatments are needed?
A typical Sculptra treatment regime involves three injection sessions over the course of a few months. Results appear gradually as your body produces new collagen. Your Bair Medical Spa clinician will create a personalized treatment plan based on the degree of correction needed.
How is Sculptra different from hyaluronic acid fillers?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that fill wrinkles and folds with a gel, Sculptra works within the deep dermis to stimulate your body's own natural collagen production. The PLLA microparticles are gradually absorbed while triggering collagen growth, rebuilding your skin's inner structure and restoring volume that has been lost to aging.
When will I see results from Sculptra?
Results appear gradually over the treatment regime rather than immediately. As the PLLA microparticles stimulate collagen production, you will notice progressive improvement in volume and skin quality over several weeks and months. The gradual nature of the results means the change looks natural to others.
What areas can Sculptra treat?
Sculptra Aesthetic is used to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, including smile lines, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. It is also used to restore volume to the temples, cheeks, and other areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging.
