Sculptra®: volume your body rebuilds itself.

From your early twenties on, your body makes about 1% less collagen every year. Sculptra is the FDA-approved injectable that instructs it to make more — gradual, structural, and natural-looking, for results that last up to two years or longer.

How Sculptra Works

Not a filler — a collagen instruction.

Poly-L-lactic acid, your collagen's alarm clock

Traditional fillers add volume from outside. Sculptra works from inside: its biocompatible PLLA microparticles signal your skin to produce new collagen where it's placed. Nothing looks different overnight — then, over six to eight weeks, structure quietly returns: firmer cheeks and temples, softened smile and marionette lines, a better-supported jawline and chin.

Because the volume is your own new collagen, results read as "you, a few years ago" rather than "work done." Most patients complete 2–3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, and results can last two years or longer.

Aftercare that matters: the 5-5-5 rule — massage the treated areas 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days — helps distribute the product evenly.

Common Questions

Before you book.

How is Sculptra different from regular filler?+
Hyaluronic acid filler adds volume instantly and is metabolized over months. Sculptra adds almost nothing on day one — instead its poly-L-lactic acid stimulates your own collagen over weeks, rebuilding structure that lasts up to two years or longer. Filler is the quick answer; Sculptra is the long game. Many patients use both strategically.
When will I see results, and how many sessions do I need?+
Expect the first visible change around 6–8 weeks as new collagen forms, with continued improvement for months. Most patients need 2–3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, tailored to age, collagen loss, and goals at your Brentwood consultation.
What is the downtime and aftercare?+
Little to none — mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at injection sites typically resolves within days. The one assignment is the 5-5-5 massage protocol: 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days, to help distribute the product evenly. Avoid blood-thinning supplements beforehand when medically appropriate.
