How long will it take to see good noticeable results with Sculptra? 2 weeks post op. (photos)

Question

I have 1 vial of sculptra in each cheek that I received 2 weeks ago.

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

Sculptra stimulates fibroblasts to make collagen and elastic fibers, in addition to improving the appearance of the skin trough the generation of a healthy dermis. It generally takes 2-5 treatments given every month or so to get the optimal results depending on your need. To ensure you’re getting the best results, be sure to consult with a board-certified dermatologist!

Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

Sculptra is a collagen stimulator, which means it actually works by having your body produce new collagen to take the place of the injected Sculptra microspheres (which dissolve). This takes time — usually at least two months. Also, we generally administer Sculptra as a treatment series — layering it on bit by bit — for the best and most natural-looking results. Please find a board-certified dermatologist to administer your next Sculptra treatment.

Hi Christian.  Normally Sculptra results will show after 4-8 weeks.  The collagen building process does not happen overnight so with Sculptra you need to be patient.  If before photos were taken, we wouldn't recommend even looking before a month and more likely 2.  Also, Sculptra typically involves more than one visit.  While you are very young, you still may require additional vials to achieve your goals.  Good luck and to view photos, click the link below.

It can take 3-6 months to see results with Sculptra. Sculptra is a great product for improving facial volume and collagen building, but for best results, I recommend using it in a combination depending on desired results. I combine Sculptra with other fillers, lasers, toxins and skin care to give immediate results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Treatment with Sculptra usually involves a series of injections to gradually produce the desired result.  Normally after a Sculptra treatment, the face will look immediately fuller but this goes down in a week or so.  After this time, there is some gradual filling as the stimulatory process takes place.  It can take 1-2 months to see the full effect from a treatment.  I recommend waiting at least one month in between treatment sessions.
