Sculptra®

What is it?

Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulatory volumizer made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that stimulates collagen production in the skin. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually over time, enhancing facial contours and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

What can it Treat?

Sculptra® can be used on almost every area of the face, except for the lips and the region around the eyes. It is clinically approved for treating:

  • Wrinkles in the cheeks
  • Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), commonly known as “smile lines”
  • Lines around the mouth (marionette lines)
  • Wrinkles on the chin

Why Sculptra®?

Unlike most fillers, Sculptra® adds natural volume by stimulating your skin to enhance its own structural support by producing more collagen, making your skin look smoother and firmer.

Learn More About Sculptra®

At Coolspa By Aethos, our skilled injectors transform dermal fillers into an art form, enhancing your features with results that look completely natural. 

Why Patients Trust Our Team for Sculptra® Treatments:

  • Each Sculptra® session starts with a personalized skin assessment to ensure optimal results.
  • Sculptra® is part of our diverse selection of dermal filler options.
  • We prioritize your comfort and focus on achieving your aesthetic goals throughout the entire process.

Collagen, one of the most abundant proteins in your body, provides the structural support and thickness of your skin. While high collagen levels contribute to the firmness of youthful skin, collagen loss over time can lead to noticeable changes in your facial appearance. Sculptra® helps restore or enhance facial volume, allowing you to achieve your desired aesthetic goals.

Sculptra® sets itself apart from other dermal fillers by utilizing poly-L-lactic acid, a biologically safe material that acts as a biostimulator. When injected, it activates your skin’s collagen production, strengthening its structural framework. This results in increased volume and a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Unlike traditional fillers, the effects of Sculptra® take time to fully develop as the added volume comes from new collagen formation. However, once established, these results are longer-lasting than many other fillers. By encouraging your skin to rejuvenate itself, Sculptra® delivers a smooth, natural look.

What to Expect During Your Sculptra Treatment

At Coolspa by Aethos, our expert injectors will meet with you before your session to discuss your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan. They will also prioritize your comfort during the treatment. While most patients find the injections to be only minimally uncomfortable—similar to a small pinch—sensitive individuals have the option to use a numbing cream.

The injection process typically takes 20 to 30 minutes, during which you will receive a series of Sculptra® injections in the targeted areas. Your injector will communicate with you throughout the treatment to ensure your comfort and address any questions you may have. Afterward, they may apply an ice pack to your skin to help reduce the risk of swelling.

Like most dermal fillers, Sculptra® allows you to resume your regular activities right after treatment. You may experience some minor bruising, swelling, or redness in the treated area, which can last a few days. We also offer laser treatments to help fade bruising more quickly, or you can easily cover any minor effects with makeup. Your provider will guide you on how to gently massage the treated area daily to ensure the filler distributes properly and begins to work effectively.

During your assessment, our expert injector will evaluate how much collagen your skin needs to achieve your desired results. Most individuals typically benefit from two to four Sculptra® sessions spaced one to two months apart, though your specific needs may vary.

Once fully established, Sculptra® results can last up to two years, which is longer than many other dermal fillers. However, we recommend an annual touch-up session to maintain your smooth, sculpted appearance and support ongoing collagen production.

While many are familiar with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Sculptra® provides a distinctive alternative with its own set of unique advantages, including:

  • Minimal downtime
  • Utilizes your body’s natural collagen
  • Quick and convenient treatment sessions
  • Longer-lasting results
  • Smooths lines and wrinkles
  • Fills hollow areas
  • Restores lift and definition

Sculptra® is a versatile option for nearly anyone seeking to restore or enhance facial volume. This biostimulatory dermal filler is suitable for healthy adults of any age and can address a variety of skin concerns. Ideal candidates are those with realistic expectations and an understanding that results will gradually develop over time.

It’s important to note that Sculptra® is not intended for lip enhancement; your injector will recommend a different filler for that purpose. Additionally, individuals with certain medical conditions or active skin issues in the treatment area may not be ideal candidates. For specific lines and wrinkles, an injectable neuromodulator such as Botox® may be a better choice.
