Sculptra® Aesthetic

Results of Sculptra are gradual, and this helps them appear and feel more natural. They become evident over the course of a few weeks and are optimized within 4 to 6 months after completing the full course of treatment.

The amount of Sculptra vials needed is individual in nature. It depends on the severity of volume loss and the degree of fine lines and wrinkles. During your consultation with Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics, our trained professionals will discuss the specifics of your treatment.

Sculptra lasts between two and three years, making it an excellent injectable filler option for patients seeking long-term results. With regular maintenance, you can continue to extend your results and minimize the signs of aging.

No, Sculptra is not permanent. Like other semi-permanent dermal fillers, Sculptra provides long-lasting but temporary results. You can typically expect your results from Sculptra to last between two and three years, regardless of the number of treatments you received. Many of our patients who receive Sculptra dermal filler schedule maintenance visits to take a proactive approach to preserve their youthful, fresh-faced look.

Yes, Sculptra is considered safe and effective for individuals who are not allergic to any of its ingredients or those with medical conditions associated with irregular scarring. Make sure to select an experienced provider to ensure your safety and health.

Yes, Sculptra is an effective treatment for jowls. Jowls, the term for a heaviness located along the jawline, can be reduced using Sculptra. Typically, patients who are interested in using Sculptra for jowls are advised to begin by treating the cheeks and temples, to reduce the appearance of a “sagging” face. Then, treatment of the jowl area will provide more dramatic results.

The results of Sculptra are gradual, becoming noticeable within the first few weeks after treatment. Compared to other injectable fillers, many of which provide immediate results, Sculptra’s full effects are not typically evident until a couple of months post-treatment.

Sculptra is injected using a small caliber syringe. Before injection, it is rehydrated with sterile water and combined with lidocaine, which helps to make the treatment process more comfortable. Based on your goals, Sculptra can be used to treat specific target areas or even distributed in certain zones for an overall effect.

Sculptra is an excellent option for patients who are seeking to treat the signs of aging, as well as individuals who have been affected by significant weight loss. However, there are some individuals who are not considered good candidates for the treatment, including those that are immunocompromised, women that are pregnant or breastfeeding, patients under the age of 18, or those that have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring.

The minor side effects of Sculptra include slight swelling or bruising of the treatment area, both of which are completely normal. Some patients also experience tenderness, itching, or redness for a short period of time after the treatment. Over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs are very effective for minimizing any discomfort. It is important to be aware that selecting an experienced and reputable provider is key in minimizing your risk of rare or dangerous effects. Although severe side effects are very rarely reported, they can often be attributed to improper procedures or product quality.

The optimal number of Sculptra treatments varies from patient to patient. Your individual aesthetic goals, as well as the severity of wrinkles and volume loss, will determine if additional treatments are needed. Most patients will achieve the best possible results with more than one treatment. During your consultation, we will discuss how many treatments will be the right fit for you. At that time, we will also develop a personalized treatment plan according to your short- and long-term goals.

The cost of Sculptra will depend on the number of treatments you receive. At your initial consultation, we will recommend a plan that outlines the ideal number of treatments to suit your needs and goals, providing you with the opportunity to get a clearer cost estimate.
