Aging is a natural process, but thanks to advancements in cosmetic treatments, we now have ways to reverse some of its effects. At Upkeep Med Spa, we’re excited to offer Sculptra, a revolutionary injectable that helps restore youthful volume and smooth out wrinkles, all while encouraging your skin’s natural collagen production.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that works differently from traditional fillers. Rather than providing immediate volume like hyaluronic acid fillers (e.g., Juvederm or Restylane), Sculptra gradually stimulates the production of collagen over time. This process leads to a more natural-looking and longer-lasting improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss.
Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used in medical devices for years. When injected into the skin, it triggers the body’s own collagen production, providing a gradual yet noticeable rejuvenation.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate plumping results, Sculptra works beneath the skin to promote collagen production, leading to long-term, subtle results that develop over several weeks. After the initial treatment, patients will begin to notice gradual improvements in their skin’s texture, volume, and firmness. The results can last up to two years or longer, making it a great option for those seeking long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
The treatment is typically spaced over a series of three sessions, depending on your unique needs and goals. Sculptra is most often used to treat areas of volume loss, such as:
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines
Hollow temples
Cheeks and jawline
Chin wrinkles
Why Choose Sculptra?
Sculptra offers several benefits for individuals looking to restore youthful volume and reduce the signs of aging:
Natural-Looking Results: Since Sculptra works gradually, the results are subtle and look more natural compared to traditional fillers.
Long-Lasting Effects: While the collagen-stimulating process takes time, the results from Sculptra can last up to two years, far outlasting most dermal fillers.
Boosts Collagen Production: One of the most significant benefits of Sculptra is its ability to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, which is essential for maintaining firm, youthful skin.
Non-Surgical: Sculptra provides a non-invasive solution for those who want to restore lost volume and reduce wrinkles without undergoing surgery.
Minimal Downtime: The procedure has minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.
Is Sculptra Right for You?
Sculptra is ideal for individuals looking for a gradual, long-lasting solution to facial aging. It’s especially effective for people experiencing volume loss or deep wrinkles and folds. It’s important to have a consultation with one of our experienced providers at Upkeep Med Spa to determine if Sculptra is the best option for your unique skin needs.
What to Expect During the Treatment
Sculptra treatments are relatively quick and easy. After an initial consultation to determine your goals, the treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied for added comfort. Your injector will then carefully place Sculptra in the areas needing volume and collagen support.
Over the next few weeks, you’ll notice gradual improvements in the treated areas as your body’s collagen production increases. Most patients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. After the series is complete, the results can last up to two years.
