Sculptra Aesthetic

What is Sculptra® Aesthetic?

Sculptra Aesthetic is a modern approach to age-defying beauty. This FDA-approved injectable solution works beneath the surface of the skin to gradually replace lost collagen, a key structural protein that diminishes with age. Unlike temporary fillers, Sculptra stimulates your skin’s natural regenerative process, helping to rebuild volume and smooth out wrinkles over time. The advanced technology behind Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible compound that integrates seamlessly with your body’s natural systems. The result? A refreshed, youthful appearance that unfolds naturally over several months.

How does Sculptra Aesthetic work?

Sculptra Aesthetic rebuilds your skin’s foundation from within. Sculptra works deep within the dermis as a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator rather than merely on the surface. Once injected, the PLLA microparticles are gradually absorbed by your body, stimulating the production of collagen. Over time, these new collagen strands restore facial volume, improve skin texture, and soften wrinkles and folds. The science behind Sculptra ensures that your results look natural and evolve gradually, aligning with your body’s rhythm.

What aesthetic issues does Sculptra address?

Sculptra is an innovative injectable treatment that helps tackle some of the most common signs of aging and volume loss by working with your body’s natural collagen production. If you’ve noticed your skin losing its youthful plumpness or want to enhance certain areas of your face or body without surgery, Sculptra might be just what you’re looking for.

  • Facial Volume Loss: Sculptra is perfect for filling hollow areas in the cheeks, temples, and jawline that can make you look tired or aged.
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: It gradually smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a softer, more youthful look.
  • Skin Texture and Elasticity: Sculptra enhances your skin’s natural firmness and smoothness over time thanks to boosted collagen production.

Which areas does Sculptra Aesthetic treat?

At our offices in Highland Park & Glenview Sculptra Aesthetic is a versatile treatment that can address multiple areas of concern. We commonly use Sculptra to treat:

  • Nasolabial Folds: The deep lines running from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth.
  • Marionette Lines: The creases framing your mouth can create a downturned appearance.
  • Chin Wrinkles: Horizontal lines and folds that appear with age.

Beyond these traditional uses, Sculptra is increasingly popular for non-surgical contouring areas like the temples, jawline, and body.

Benefits of Sculptra

Sculptra isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about feeling like the best version of yourself. This non-surgical option offers a host of benefits that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle:

  • Gradually restores youthful volume and fullness to areas that appear hollow or sunken.
  • Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles for a softer, more refreshed look.
  • Enhances skin texture and elasticity by stimulating collagen production.
  • Offers subtle, natural-looking body contouring results.
  • Minimally invasive with little to no downtime.
  • Provides long-lasting improvements that can endure for up to two years.
  • Delivers gradual, natural enhancements without looking overdone.

Is Sculptra right for me?

If you’re looking to restore volume, enhance contours, or enjoy a natural, refreshed appearance without surgery, Sculptra might be an excellent choice. However, every treatment is unique, so it’s important to consider a few key factors.

Great Candidates:

  • Adults who want to address signs of aging like wrinkles or sagging skin.
  • Individuals looking to enhance facial or body contours naturally.
  • Those who prefer a non-surgical approach to beauty.

Considerations:

  • Avoid treatment if you have allergies to any of the ingredients in Sculptra.
  • Patients with active skin conditions or infections in the treatment area should wait until these resolve.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals may need to postpone treatment.
  • Consult your doctor if you have autoimmune conditions or specific health concerns.

How many Sculptra Aesthetic treatments are required?

On average, a series of three treatments over the course of a few months may be needed. The number of injections at each session will vary, depending on the degree of correction needed and your specific treatment plan.

How soon will I see the results with Sculptra, and how long will it last?

Sculptra Aesthetic is all about gradual transformation. While you won’t see immediate changes post-treatment, the subtle improvements will become noticeable within a few weeks as your body produces more collagen. Full results typically take shape over two to three months, revealing a fresher, more youthful appearance. On average, a complete treatment plan involves three sessions spaced over several months. Once achieved, the results can last over two years, making Sculptra a long-term investment in your skin’s health and beauty.
