Sculptra FAQs
  • How does Sculptra compare to other injectable treatments?

    Unlike injectables such as Botox, which softens fine lines and wrinkles, or fillers, which add volume and definition to the face, Sculptra focuses more on stimulating collagen production.

  • How many Sculptra injections will I need?

    Most patients will need one vial of Sculptra per side of their face. Some patients may need less, and some may need more. It will depend on the surface area of the patient’s face, the desired areas being treated, as well as the age of the patient.

  • When will I start to see results?

    A few days post-treatment, you will look the same as you did before the treatment. This is because the injected water will be absorbed, leaving the Sculptra particles behind to stimulate your collagen to grow. Results appear gradually over a few months.

  • How long will the results last?

    At 3 months post-treatment, results will be at 33% potential. By 6 months, patients will see the full treatment potential. These results can last up to 2 years.

  • What is the post-treatment care for Sculptra?

    To evenly distribute Sculptra post-treatment, patients should massage the area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days following the treatment.

Things to Keep In Mind for Treatment

  1. Come to your appointment without makeup on the area to be treated, as this helps reduce the risk of infection and allows the practitioner to work on a clean surface.
  2. No dental work 2 weeks prior to treatment, even if your dental work is as simple as a routine cleaning.
  3. No vaccines or medical procedures 2 weeks prior to treatment.

  1. Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days following your treatment. Massage allows the Sculptra particles to develop collagen evenly under your skin.
  2. Refrain from exercise for 72 hours (about 3 days) post-treatment.
  3. Avoid excessive heat and sun exposure for 72 hours (about 3 days) post-treatment, as heat can promote bruising and swelling.
  4. Consider sleeping with your head slightly elevated and on your back if you want to decrease swelling in the treatment area.
