How deep is Sculptra injected?
Sculptra is injected deep underneath the skin or on top of bone and gives a gradual, smooth and natural looking result. I use Sculptra as a facial volumizer and not a line or wrinkle filler. For lines and wrinkles, I usually layer hyaluronic acid based fillers such as Restylane on top of the Sculptra.
Sculptra is typically injected deep under the skin or just on top of the bone to give smooth natural looking results. It is not used for correcting lines or wrinkles but for re-volumizing the cheeks and temples. Over time however, it does have the effect of improving the surface appearance of the skin. Since it works by generating new collagen growth, it is not an overnight fix and does not work same way as other fillers. Typically the injections are done in a series of 3 or 4 about 6 weeks apart and then once a year or so for maintenance. Best.
