Sculptra and aging
Your skin will still age normally after Sculptra therapy. Scultpra will stimulate new collagen that often lasts 2 years this effect will not deter future aging effects.

Ageing after sculptra injections
As we age, we loose facial volume which leads to flattening of the cheeks, prominence of the creases around the mouth, flattening of the temples etc. Sculptra stimulates the body to form collagen which adds volume to the injected sites. This effect can last for up to two years before it dissipates. The aging process continues at the same rate.

Aging skin after Sculptra injections
Your skin will continue to age relatively normally after your Sculptra treatment as Sculptra is injected deeply, below the skin. Wrinkle lines or folds are really just the first obvious visible signs of a slow progressive change taking place in all structures of the face. Sculptra is not injected directly into these wrinkle lines and folds, but rather into multiple areas of the face to treat the volume loss that leads to their appearance.

Sculptra is ideal as you age
Sculptra is not a filler in the typical space occupying sense. Rather, it is a biostimulator that "fills" by stimulating your own fibroblasts to produce collagen. It lasts for a few years until your natural aging process catches up with it. This makes it an ideal, natural looking product. Additionally, the collagen stimulation often improves the quality of the overlying skin -an additional bonus as you age.
