Question 1

What is Sculptra and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Sculptra is a unique injectable collagen stimulator containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA). Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production. This helps to restore the underlying structure of your facial skin, gradually improving volume, smoothness, and overall skin quality over time.

Question 2

How many Sculptra treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

On average, most clients at Elevate Medical Center will have 2 to 3 treatment sessions spaced over a few months. The exact number of injections and sessions will be tailored to your specific needs and aesthetic goals during your personalized consultation with our aesthetic professional.

Question 3

When will I see results from Sculptra, and how long do they last?

Accepted Answer

Many clients begin to see initial improvements as early as 1 month after treatment, with full results typically becoming apparent after a few months as collagen regeneration occurs. The beautiful results from Sculptra can last for up to 2 years or even longer. Your personalized treatment plan will involve a series of sessions, usually 3 to 4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal outcomes.

Question 4

Which areas can Sculptra treat?

Accepted Answer

Sculptra is highly effective for correcting shallow to deep wrinkles, folds, and areas of volume loss on the face. When administered by our trained specialists at Elevate Medical Center, Sculptra is clinically approved for treating: Cheek wrinkles, Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds or “smile lines”), Lines framing the mouth (marionette lines), and Chin wrinkles.

Question 5

What should I do after my Sculptra treatment?

A crucial part of your Sculptra aftercare is massaging the treated area to help evenly distribute the product. We recommend the "5-5-5 Rule": Massage the injected area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days in a row. Our team at Elevate Medical Center will provide detailed post-care instructions during your visit.

Question 6

Is Sculptra safe, and what are the potential side effects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Sculptra is FDA-approved in the United States and has a long history of safe use worldwide since 1999. It's made from poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic material that is naturally absorbed by the body and has been safely used in dissolvable stitches for years. Since it contains no human or animal components, allergy testing is not required. Common side effects reported at the injection site may include temporary pain, redness, bruising, tenderness, itching, and swelling. Small, temporary bumps under the skin might also be noticeable when pressing the treated area.
