The Sculptra has become a staple in non-surgical aesthetic treatments for those looking to restore the elasticity and volume of their skin, while achieving natural and long-lasting results. This revolutionary treatment is particularly appreciated for its benefits on skin aging, but many questions arise around its use, effects and results.

In this article, we’ll answer the most frequently asked questions about the Sculptra, to help you better understand this procedure and decide if it’s right for you.

What is the Sculptra?

Sculptra is a polylactic acid-based collagen bio-stimulator, used primarily to treat the signs of skin aging. Unlike hyaluronic acid injections, which provide volume immediately, Sculptra gradually stimulates the production of collagen, the protein that gives the skin its natural firmness and elasticity.

This treatment firms the skin and restores volume, especially on the face, while offering results that last for several months. The effects are not instantaneous, but develop gradually, allowing your skin to regain a more youthful and toned appearance.

Why choose the Sculptra?

The Sculptra is an ideal solution for those who want to improve the texture and density of their skin without resorting to surgery. Here are some major benefits of this treatment:

Natural collagen stimulation: Unlike other fillers, Sculptra works by reactivating your skin’s natural mechanisms.
Long-lasting results: The effects of Sculptra are long-lasting, and results can last up to two years.
Gradual improvement: The results appear gradually, offering a very natural look.
Versatility: The Sculptra can be used on different areas of the face, such as the cheeks, temples, and even to treat smile lines and nasolabial folds.

How does a Sculptra session work?

A Sculptra session begins with a detailed consultation with one of our aesthetic medicine doctors. During this meeting, the doctor will assess your needs, your expectations and define the personalized treatment plan adapted to your skin.

The treatment itself consists of injections of Sculptra in the areas to be treated. No general anesthesia is needed, although local anesthesia or numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort.

The duration of a session is usually about thirty minutes, and you can resume your activities immediately after the treatment.

Is it painful?

Sculptra may cause mild discomfort during injection due to the consistency of the product. However, the pain is minimal and usually doesn’t last long. Sensations can vary depending on the area being treated, but many patients report that discomfort is well tolerated.

After the treatment, it is possible to experience a slight redness, swelling or a small bruise, but these side effects usually disappear within a few days of the session.

How many sessions are necessary?

The number of sessions depends on your skin condition and the results you want to achieve. In general, 2 to 3 sessions of Sculptra are recommended, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Each session gradually increases collagen production, ensuring a natural and long-lasting result.

When will I see the results?

The results of the Sculptra are not immediate. Unlike treatments that provide instant volume, the Sculptra works in depth to stimulate collagen production. Thus, the effects begin to be visible after 3 to 4 weeks, and are perfected over the following months.

The final results can be observed about 2 to 3 months after the last session. The skin appears firmer, more toned, and wrinkles are faded, offering a rejuvenated and natural face.

Are there any contraindications to Sculptra?

Sculptra is a very safe treatment, but as with any cosmetic procedure, there are contraindications. It is not recommended for people who:

In case of a known allergy to any of the components of the Sculptra.
If you have active skin infections or skin diseases in the area to be treated.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

It is important to discuss your medical history with the doctor before starting treatment.

Are the results permanent?

The results of the Sculptra are long-lasting, but not permanent. They can last up to 2 years, depending on your skin’s response to the collagen boost. After this period, maintenance sessions may be necessary to maintain the rejuvenating effect.

Sculptra Pricing: An Investment in Your Well-Being

The Sculptra treatment represents an investment in your appearance and well-being, offering long-lasting and natural results. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, the price can vary depending on several factors. It is important to note that the cost will depend on the area to be treated, the extent of sessions needed as well as your skin’s individual response to the treatment.

As each patient is unique, the recommended number of sessions and the amount of product needed can also influence the final price. At Biolaser Center, we are committed to providing you with an accurate and personalized estimate after a consultation with our specialized doctors.
