Sculptra Raleigh

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra treatment is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation option designed to address volume loss caused by aging. Unlike dermal fillers, it works by stimulating collagen production and restoring your skin’s inner structure in the deep dermis. This helps improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles over time.

Made of poly-L-lactic acid, this FDA-approved biostimulatory aesthetic injectable works gradually. One of the major benefits is that results look natural—you don’t look like you’ve had work done. Patients often choose Sculptra aesthetic treatments for areas such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and smile lines. The process encourages the skin’s natural collagen production for long-lasting results that can enhance your overall appearance and won’t look fake.

What Is Sculptra Used For?

Sculptra treatments address multiple signs of aging, including deep wrinkles, volume loss, and uneven skin texture. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, jawline, and smile lines around the mouth.

In addition to facial rejuvenation, Sculptra is sometimes used for non-surgical body contouring, such as improving hip dips or enhancing the buttocks. Your surgeon and their team will speak with you about your goals in-depth before determining if these uses may be right for you.

Loss of facial volume is a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean that most of us are happy about it. Sculptra is an injectable that offers a way to restore a more youthful appearance. The treatment stimulates collagen production, providing gradual improvements and natural looking results.

If you would like to achieve a more youthful glow without undergoing invasive surgery, Sculptra is a wonderful option.

Sculptra Pros and Cons

Of course, the biggest advantage of Sculptra is its ability to stimulate collagen production and gradually remove and improve signs of aging. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers or topical collagen creams, results from Sculptra are long-lasting—sometimes sticking around for up to two years.

This makes it a cost-effective option for long-term facial rejuvenation. The procedure is also quick, relatively painless, and does not require incisions. Patients only need to be in-office for a short time, and then they are free to return home and resume most of their regular activities.

On the other hand, Sculptra does typically require multiple treatment sessions to achieve your desired results, and this may be inconvenient for some patients. Mild swelling and bruising at the injection sites is a potential downside as well. Though these side effects typically go away within a short time.

How Do Sculptra Injections Work?

Sculptra injections involve the use of a fine needle to inject the product into targeted areas beneath the skin. Poly-L-lactic acid works to stimulate collagen production, and this helps to rebuild the skin’s structure over time.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the Sculptra filler procedure, but a local anesthetic is often used to numb the injection sites and keep you more comfortable. The treatment itself only lasts a few minutes, and results will develop gradually. Patients will start noticing improvement in skin quality after a month, and improvement in volume after three months. Results will continue to improve over time. We will work with you to determine the best personalized treatment plan for you and your goals.

Sculptra Butt Lift

Sculptra for buttocks is a non-surgical option for enhancing shape and volume on the buttocks and hips area. The treatment works the same as it does in the face—by stimulating collagen production. This can help create a firmer and more contoured appearance over time.

The procedure is ideal for patients looking to improve the look of their buttocks without invasive surgery. A consultation at Diehl Plastic Surgery can help determine if Sculptra is the right option for you. Not everyone will be a good candidate for a Sculptra butt lift.

How Long Does Sculptra Last?

Sculptra aesthetic treatments offer results that can last up to two years. Note, however, that several initial treatments may be necessary.

While some patients see results after a single treatment, most require a series of sessions to achieve their aesthetic goals. Regular follow-up appointments can help extend the benefits of Sculptra for even longer-lasting effects.
