Sculptra Overview

Sculptra: Gradual, long-lasting results

Sculptra is a biostimulator that restores volume and improves the overall health of your skin. Younger patients love that it enhances their facial contour and balance, and more mature patients see results that turn back time.

How Sculptra Works

Sculptra restores volume in the cheeks, temples, and other areas of the face to stimulate new collagen growth. Collagen is the structural network of the skin. Boosting collagen growth helps naturally reverse the signs of aging to give you long-lasting improvements. 

As we age, we lose the collagen support in our tissue, which leads to wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging. Sculptra is injected into the deep layers of tissue in the skin, triggering a mild inflammatory reaction that stimulates the body’s natural healing process, the generation of new collagen. Over time, the collagen boost results in smoother, fuller, younger-looking skin.

Am I a Candidate for Sculptra?

Sculptra is ideal for individuals looking to gradually restore volume and improve facial contours without appearing like they’ve “had work done.” If you’re bothered by mild to moderate facial volume loss, hollow cheeks or temples, or the appearance of deep lines such as nasolabial folds, Sculptra may be a great fit for you.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are in overall good health and not pregnant or nursing
  • Want a subtle, gradual enhancement rather than instant results
  • Are seeking long-lasting improvement in facial volume and skin firmness
  • Have realistic expectations about results and the time required to see them
  • Are not allergic to any of Sculptra’s ingredients or have a history of keloid formation

Sculptra is especially well-suited for those beginning to notice early signs of aging or for patients looking to maintain youthful contours over time. Because it stimulates your body’s own collagen production, it’s an excellent option for those interested in a more natural, regenerative approach to facial rejuvenation.

Sculptra Procedure & Recovery

Sculptra is placed in the lateral areas of the face to produce an overall improvement in the appearance of the cheeks and temples. Before treatment, your injector will apply a topical anesthetic to reduce any inflammation. Most people need at least three sessions over the course of several months to achieve results, but everyone is different! We will work with you to determine your goals and tailor the treatment plan to your needs.

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers (like Juvederm or Restylane), which are injected directly into the "trouble spots," Sculptra is injected evenly throughout the treatment area. You can return to your normal activities immediately after your treatment. There may be some mild swelling or redness for the first few days.

Your results will start to appear over several weeks as new collagen builds. Results from Sculptra in Portland can last up to 2 years, but individual results may vary.

How Much Does Sculptra in Portland Cost?
