Sculptra is anFDA-approved injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid. It works bystimulating your skin to produce more collagen – one of the mainbuilding blocks of healthy, elastic skin. The new collagen strandsthen create a supportive matrix for the skin, making it firmer andthicker. The results can begin to appear within a couple of weeks.Generally, treatments are once a month and 3 – 6 sessions areneeded, as the volume gradually builds to the desired result. Thisgradual result allows the patient to choose how full they wish to be.For example, you could stop at two treatments if you feel fullenough. The first few days after Sculptra, the face looks fullbecause of the watery solution containing the PLLA particles. Thenthe second week, the water is absorbed and little result is seen. After one month, one begins to see the result, just as it’s timefor the second session. I would say that most patients will notappreciate what Sculptra can truly accomplish with just onetreatment, but after two sessions it really starts to look good.Fortunately, one can get a preview of the result immediately aftertreatment due to the watery solution that gives that temporaryimmediate full effect. Typically, after 3 monthly sessions, I wait2-3 months before seeing if more is needed as there will still beimprovement over the next 4 – 8 weeks. The benefits have been shownto last up to two years, but I have seen patients continue to lookgreat for longer than that. If you want something more immediate, youcan layer another product such as Voluma on top of the Sculptra. Thiscan create a very natural looking volume and is especially beautifulwhen sculpting new cheekbones or other facial curves. Please find aboard-certified dermatologist who has experience as a Sculptrainjector to help you.
Thank you for your question.Sculptra is said to typically last 2-5 years but may take multiple rounds of treatment to obtain the best results.
Sculptra is most commonly injected over a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This is the typical time frame when results will first start to be visible, but may take 3 to 4 months or even longer to really become evident. By 6 months after the last injection, patients should be seeing maximum results.All the best,
Sculptra results are gradual and depending on age and degree of volume loss, it may take 2-3 treatments before you start to notice a subtle result. Treatment sessions are typically performed a minimum of 6 weeks apart and it is very necessary that you follow the post-care for best results.
Hello,Thank you for your question. Sculptra takes about 2 months before you will see full results. Age can sometimes affect this time frame. The Sculptra grows your collagen, so younger patients may see results a bit sooner, while older patients may seem them later on. Good luck!
