Stimulate collagen production
for natural results
Sculptra is an FDA-approved facial injectable composed of poly-L-lactic acid, designed to combat signs of aging by stimulating collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra works gradually over several months to restore volume and improve skin texture. It’s commonly used in areas prone to volume loss, such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline. Sculptra provides subtle yet noticeable results, enhancing facial contours and promoting a youthful look.
Sculptra treats:
- Volume loss in the cheeks
- Sagging skin around the temples
- Deep facial wrinkles and folds
- Hollow areas in the midface
- Jawline contouring and definition issues
How Sculptra works
Sculptra, comprised of poly-L-lactic acid, works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Once injected, the microspheres of Sculptra prompt a reaction in the skin, stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen. This newly formed collagen gradually fills in wrinkles, restores lost volume and improves skin elasticity. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, the effects of Sculptra in Shelby Township are long-lasting, as collagen continues to regenerate even after the initial treatment period. The result is a more youthful, lifted appearance.

- Safe and painless treatment
- Long-lasting results due to collagen stimulation
- Gradual improvement for a natural-looking outcome

Your Sculptra session
During your Sculptra session, your healthcare provider will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals. After cleansing the treatment area, they will administer Sculptra injections using fine needles. You may experience mild discomfort, but numbing cream can be used to ensure optimal comfort. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, after which you can resume your daily activities without downtime. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, spaced several weeks apart.
Sculptra aftercare guidelines:
- Massage the treated area as directed by your provider to ensure even distribution.
