Sculptra results last about 2 years
The results of Sculptra last for about 2 years before your body breaks it down and reabsorbs the material. In some people, the results may last longer, and in others, touch up treatments may be required to maintain the effect that long.
Remember, though, that the results of Sculptra are not visible right away. It takes several weeks to see the results of each treatment and, depending on how much correction you need/want, 2 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart will be necessary.

How Long Does Sculptra Last: Facial Filler Longevity
How Long Does Sculptra Last?
Sculptra is in a class of its own in terms of facial injectables. The product induces a proliferative response and stimulates collagen production. After a short period, the injected sculptra is gone, only to be left behind by your own collagen.
How long your own collagen will last is dependent on your specific profile. If you continue to damage your skin with poor diet, sun bathing, and stress, the collagen will break down and degenerate at a more advanced...

Long Lasting Fillers
Althought Sculptra is not permanent, it is one of the longest lasting fillers that we have available today. I feel it is one of the best volumizing fillers on the market. I would discourage you from using a permanent filler since the filler will not change as you age whereas the rest of your face will!

Longevity of Sculptra injections
Longevity of Sculptra injections is dependent upon the number or series of injections you receive. Typically, after a session of three to four treatments the results last many years. In fact, in my patient that I have used to correct facial atrophy I've seen the improvement last over three years. I believe the stimulation of the collagen persists correcting the area; however, it cannot stop the aging process and you may need more to maintain the persistence of the correction....

Sculptra Injections are Long Lasting, but not Permanent
Sculptra aesthetic is a novel type of non-surgical facial rejuvenation injectable product that is unlike the facial fillers that have been available before. Sculptra is a stimulatory agent that gradual makes your body lay in new collagen to give the desired effect. Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid, which is a material that has been used for years in absorbable sutures and screws. It is mixed with water and injected under the skin. The initial swelling goes down over a few days...

How long does Sculptra last
In my experience, Sculptra lasts about 2-3 years if a proper and full correction is acheived with a set of injections. Most patients require a series of 3-4 treatments spaced out at monthly intervals to achieve their desired result. Once this is accomplished, many patients return for an annual touch up and then the result lasts for many years.

Sculptra breaks down after 12-18 months
The Sculptura itself is broken down in 12 - 18 months. They key with Sculptura is that it stimulates your own collagen. This effect can be permanent but typically requires several treatments to get significant effects.
I hope this helps.

Sculptra Injection Longevity
Hi A,
Sculptra acts by stimulating the area injected to form new collagen. It is thought that once patients have full correction following Sculptra injections that it lasts anywhere from 2 to 4 years before patients need a booster treatment. Sculptra is not permanent. It is actually made of the same material that absorbable suture material is made of. Good luck and be well.

Sculptra
Sculptra is a longer lasting volumizer. It is in a class of its own and not really a filler. Sculptra is a collagen stimulator. The results of Sculptra are not immediate. It may take several weeks to see the results of each treatment.

A Filler That Lasts
Sculptra is a different type of product than other fillers you'll see. It is generally a process of injections designed to increase your own collagen production. After a short period, the Sculptra itself is broken down leaving your body's own collagen. The results from this process will last between 2-5 years depending on how quickly your body breaks down its own collagen.
