Sculptra is so cool because it's an injection that helps with ALL areas of aging- collagen loss, fat loss and bone loss. Since we stop creating collagen in our 20s, it’s important to supplement this with injections to maintain and prevent collagen from running out (even as a preventative measure). We use Sculptra as a filler that we grow on our own, but results aren’t instant! We start seeing results within 2 months and then the best results being in 8-9 months. These results then last 2-3 years! Sculptra is lower maintenance where we invest upfront and have much less upkeep over time.

Sculptra yields more than filler, meaning 1 vial of Sculptra can equal about 3 syringes worth of filler! More bang for your buck if you’re willing to be patient. We can combine Sculptra with filler for an even better result, we just have to wait 4 months before and after your Sculptra treatment before placing filler in the same area that we have placed Sculptra.

Sculptra should be started when you start seeing any signs of volume loss or if you want to contour your face slowly and naturally.

Sculptra is our OWN body creating collagen so it’s much harder to break up and get rid of (and it’s not dissolvable). You may feel the product over time under the skin, which can be very normal, as long as you can’t see the buildup of product. However, if there are areas of product that we can see or become irritated, then we attempt to break it up with special products. Basically- since its our own body creating it- it’s very hard to dissolve and rid of, but it lasts much longer than filler!

After injections, puffiness may occur. The initial product is a powder being delivered in liquid form so you are essentially being injected with lots of water. Soreness is absolutely expected as it is a deeper injection. The procedure is fast and the product is mixed up 2 weeks before you come in for your procedure, so it’s at its best and ready to go.

After injections there is a massage protocol with the 5, 5, 5 rule. In the areas treated you massage for 5 minutes, every 5 hours for the first 5 days to prevent lumps and bumps from forming under the skin. This is a very important step that will be discussed with you at your appointment.

Supplementing collagen orally can help stimulate the product and amp up the speed of your results. We recommend products below.

Erase Time

Mama Sweet Tox. This picture was the reason behind katie’s obsession with sculptra. These pictures are 6 months in between 4 vials of sculptra. She wasn’t even technically ‘done’ with her protocol.

This is what is so amazing about sculptra— even if you do a smaller amount, you’re going to see beautiful, subtle, natural changes that will take you back to a younger time.

we still added more vials since this photo because we now are working on little tweaks & she will get 1 vial yearly to maintain.

Soften

losing volume as we age can sometimes make us look gaunt. As you can see, the sculptra added volume to make her look more youthful because the light reflects on the hollows differently. This was after a protocol of 6.5 vials and the pictures are 1 year apart.

She will see me yearly for 1-2 vial maintenance.

After we complete the sculptra protocol, we then begin to tweak on the rest of the face. Here, you can see after we completed the sculptra, we are now working on her under eyes.

Perfect

This lovely young client is using sculptra instead of filler to add contour and glow to her skin. I love how natural her face appears after using just 1.5 vials of sculptra as a full face treatment. you can see the beautiful results over time.

The sculptra will prevent her collagen from depleting and allow her to use much less product over time and have longer lasting results.

We placed the sculptra in her temples, cheeks, smile lines, jawline and chin.
