What is Sculptra?

Sculptra® is a type of dermal filler, which is a cosmetic procedure to smooth fine lines and deep wrinkles.

Sculptra is a gel-like substance made of poly-L-lactic acid. A healthcare provider will inject this filler underneath your skin where you want a fuller or smoother appearance. Poly-L-lactic acid is a collagen stimulator that absorbs into your body a few days after treatment to encourage your cells to produce more collagen. Collagen is a protein in your skin — as well as in your connective tissues, bones and cartilage — that provides structure, support and strength.

What happens during a Sculptra injection?

Dermal fillers using Sculptra are nonsurgical cosmetic procedures that you’ll receive during an office visit. You’ll be awake during the procedure. The steps of a Sculptra injection include:

1. Your provider will clean the area of skin where you’ll get an injection.
2. They may give you a topical anesthetic to numb the area of your skin so you won’t feel any pain or discomfort.
3. They’ll inject filler underneath your skin with a small needle. You may feel some pressure but you shouldn’t feel pain.

What happens after a Sculptra injection?

When your provider completes the Sculptra injection, you’re free to go about your normal activities without interruption. You’ll want to avoid strenuous activities for a couple of days. There may be bruising or swelling at the injection site that will go away after a couple of days. If you feel sore, you can take over-the-counter NSAIDs as your provider advises. Within about a month of injection, you should start to notice that your skin looks plumper or fuller.

Is Sculptra safe?

Your healthcare provider will advise you on whether you’re a candidate for the procedure based on your current health status and goals.
