What Concerns Does Sculptra Address?

A Bio-Stimulator to Rebuild Your Skin's Foundation

Sculptra Aesthetic is completely different from traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. Instead of just filling lines, Sculptra is made of Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a bio-stimulator that works deep within the dermis. When injected, it helps to gradually replace lost collagen. As the PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they stimulate your body to produce its own new collagen, rebuilding the skin's inner structure and restoring facial volume over time.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Nasolabial folds ("smile lines")
  • Marionette lines
  • Hollow temples
  • Sunken cheeks
  • Chin wrinkles

The best part? The result is truly your own, providing a subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation that appears gradually.

What to Expect During Your Sculptra Treatment

Personalized, Professional, and Effective

Your Sculptra treatment at Advanced Aesthetics is a process of gradual, natural rejuvenation.

  1. Before Treatment

    We will assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and determine the number of vials needed for your treatment plan.

  2. During Treatment

    The face is numbed for comfort. The Sculptra solution is then injected into the predetermined areas of the face using a fine needle or cannula.

  3. After Treatment

    The area is massaged to ensure even distribution. You may experience some swelling and bruising, which typically resolves within a week.

  4. When Will I See Results?

    You will see some immediate plumping from the sterile water, which will dissipate in 1-2 days. The true, collagen-driven results emerge gradually over the next 3-6 months.

  5. Additional Benefits

    • Restores the underlying structure of the face
    • Provides very natural-looking results
    • Results last for 2 years or more
    • Improves overall skin quality and firmness
    • Corrects deep facial wrinkles and folds
    • Addresses the root cause of facial aging (collagen loss)

Combining Sculptra with Other Treatments

Maximize Your Results

Sculptra and Radiesse work differently from traditional fillers. They stimulate your skin's own collagen production over time, rebuilding structure from within. They're most effective when combined with treatments that address immediate concerns while the biostimulator works gradually. Popular combinations include:

  • Dermal FillersUse hyaluronic acid fillers for immediate, precise correction in delicate areas like the lips or under-eyes while biostimulators build longer-term structural support.
  • Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport)Relax dynamic wrinkles with Botox or Dysport while Sculptra or Radiesse gradually restores the volume and collagen that time has reduced.
  • Morpheus8Combine RF microneedling with biostimulators to enhance collagen production at multiple levels, both superficially and deep within the tissue.
  • PDO ThreadsAdd a thread lift to address tissue laxity while biostimulators work beneath the surface to rebuild the skin's structural foundation.

During your consultation, we'll create a long-term treatment plan that uses the right combination of immediate and gradual approaches to give you natural, lasting results.

Pre-Care & Aftercare

Aftercare & What to Avoid

Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to stimulate your body's own collagen production, improving skin firmness, texture, and volume over time. While the results are gradual and long-lasting, proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal outcomes and minimize complications.

What to expect

  • Mild redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
  • Small lumps or bumps under the skin are common temporarily and typically resolve as the product integrates.
  • Full results develop gradually over 4 to 12 weeks, with best outcomes seen after completing the recommended series of treatments.

Do

  • Apply cold compresses (not ice) for 10 to 15 minutes at a time for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling and bruising.
  • Keep your head elevated when resting or sleeping for the first night.
  • Stay well-hydrated to support collagen synthesis.
  • Use gentle skincare products for the first 48 hours.
  • Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, especially if treated areas are exposed to the sun.

Avoid

  • Avoid vigorous exercise, heat, or sweating (saunas, hot yoga, steam rooms) for 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
  • Do not touch, press, or massage the treated area (except Sculptra massage as instructed).
  • Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and supplements (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil) for 24 hours to minimize bruising.
  • Do not undergo facials, laser treatments, or skin tightening procedures in the treated area for at least 1 to 2 weeks, unless cleared by your provider.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 1 week after treatment.

Contact us immediately if you experience

  • Signs of infection: redness, warmth, swelling, pus, or pain worsening over time
  • Hard nodules that persist beyond a few weeks
  • Skin blanching (pale or white areas), severe pain, or discoloration
  • Any unusual or concerning reaction

Aftercare by treatment

Massage: 5-5-5 Rule (Sculptra only)

Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This helps distribute the product evenly and prevents the formation of nodules. Use a gentle moisturizer or facial oil while massaging to reduce friction.

Radiesse patients

No massage is required unless advised by your provider. If Radiesse was diluted for skin rejuvenation (a.k.a. "Radiesse wash"), light massage may be recommended. Follow your provider's guidance.

Follow-up and results

Sculptra®: results build gradually and typically require 2 to 3 treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Radiesse®: provides immediate volume with ongoing collagen stimulation; maintenance is usually recommended every 12 to 18 months.

Your Post-Treatment Journey

Week 1: Initial swelling subsides. Your face will look as it did before treatment.

Month 1-3: Your body starts producing new collagen. You may begin to notice subtle improvements in volume and skin quality.

Month 3-6: The full effect of the treatment becomes visible, with restored volume and smoother lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Sculptra Questions, Answered

How many Sculptra treatments will I need?

Most patients require a series of 2-3 treatment sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, to achieve their desired results.

Is Sculptra a filler?

No. While it is an injectable, it is a collagen bio-stimulator, not a traditional filler. It works by stimulating your own body to produce collagen.

How long does Sculptra last?

The results of Sculptra are very long-lasting, with clinical studies showing results lasting for more than two years.

Does the treatment hurt?

We mix Sculptra with lidocaine (a numbing agent) and use a topical numbing cream to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

What happens if I don't massage the area?

Massaging is crucial to ensure the PLLA particles are distributed evenly and to prevent the formation of small nodules under the skin.

Can Sculptra be dissolved?

No. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra cannot be dissolved. This is why it is critical to choose an experienced, expert injector.
