What is Sculptra?
Sculptra® is an injectable treatment made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that helps your body produce more collagen, a natural protein that keeps skin firm, smooth, and supported. As collagen naturally decreases with age, Sculptra works gradually to restore facial support and improve the appearance of volume loss.
At Urbane Beauty Co., every Sculptra experience is highly personalized. Our experienced RN injectors carefully assess your facial anatomy, proportions, and aesthetic goals to create a treatment plan uniquely tailored to you. With expert placement and a thoughtful, refined approach, we focus on enhancing your natural features for results that feel balanced, refreshed, and distinctly yours.
Why Sculptra?
Sculptra® is ideal for those seeking gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation rather than an immediate change. By stimulating your body’s own collagen production, it helps restore facial support, soften the appearance of wrinkles and folds, and improve the look of lost volume over time.
Through a series of treatments, typically about three sessions over a few months, Sculptra creates subtle, progressive results that can last up to two years. It’s a refined approach for clients who want to look refreshed while still looking unmistakably like themselves.
Through a series of treatments, typically about three sessions over a few months, Sculptra gradually restores support and volume for a smoother, refreshed appearance. Results develop beautifully over time and can last up to two years.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sculptra
It takes the body around 6 weeks to produce collagen. Patients tend to begin seeing incredible results a few weeks after the injection is administered. However, because the results are gradual, patients continue to see their skin improving months after the injection.
Sculptra is an FDA-approved procedure and is completely safe. The ingredients found in the formula are easily absorbed by the body. In addition, it does not contain any animal products.
Although Sculptra is safe for most people, you should not consider it if you fall into any of these categories:
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
- If you are immunocompromised
- If you suffer from autoimmune problems
- If you are younger than 18 years old
- If you are allergic to any of the ingredients found in Sculptra
- If you are prone to irregular scarring
If you are suffering from any skin irritations, redness, or rashes, you should wait until they are resolved. It is important to consult with a professional to see if Sculptra is the right injection for you.
Sculptra injections are slightly different than hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane. Sculptra works with your skin to stimulate collegen growth and restore lost facial volume over time, and may last for up to two years, unlike dermal fillers.
Sculptra is primarily used to treat areas of the face that are prone to volume loss such as the cheeks, temples and areas around the chin/mouth.
Sculptra usually requires at least 3 injections scheduled about 4 weeks apart. The total number of treatments will vary from patient to patient, and will require a consultation.
