Not another filler. Sculptra is the original injectable collagen stimulator, helping your skin rebuild its own natural collagen and elastin for results that gradually deepen and last up to two years.
Overview
A long-lasting solution to improve facial skin quality.
95% of clinical trial participants had improved skin glow two years after Sculptra treatment when injected into the cheek region. Sculptra is intended for people with healthy immune systems as a one-time regimen of up to four injection sessions, scheduled about three to four weeks apart, for shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies, fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek region, and other facial wrinkles.
The Science
You lose collagen and elastin as you age.
Loss of collagen weakens the structure beneath the skin’s surface, creating lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. Elastin, the protein that lets skin bounce back to its original shape, also breaks down with age, leading to sagging. We lose about one percent of collagen per year after age 20.

The Difference
Not another filler.
Sculptra works differently than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that work to fill in lines, wrinkles, and folds. Sculptra helps regenerate the skin’s own natural collagen and elastin production, gradually restoring a more youthful-looking appearance.
The poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) within Sculptra helps form a framework underneath the skin that supports and maintains the skin’s inner structure, so results build over months and last longer than a typical filler.
How It Works
Discovering the Sculptra difference.
Three steps that explain why Sculptra results build over months and last for years.
Inject
Sculptra is injected just below the skin in a series of sessions tailored to your treatment plan.
Regenerate
The poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) forms a framework that helps regenerate your skin's natural collagen and elastin.
Improve
Your skin's own structure and elasticity gradually rebuild from within, smoothing fine lines and restoring fullness.
The Results
Smooth, firm, glow, and tighten.
When injected into the cheek area, Sculptra helps improve wrinkles and overall skin quality across four measurable dimensions.
