Sculptra Smooths Deep Wrinkles and Restores Facial Volume for Up to Two Years

Injectables have revolutionized anti-aging treatments. From neuromodulators like Botox® to dermal fillers like Juvéderm®, Radiesse®, Restylane®, and Belotero Balance®, you have many nonsurgical facelift options. Each has unique characteristics, but if you’re looking for the longest-lasting treatment, you want Sculptra®.

Read what Dr. Boris Itskovich, our experienced dermatologist at Brooklyn Aesthetics in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, says about this innovative injectable and what sets Sculptra apart from traditional fillers.

Get to know Sculptra 

While Sculptra is an injectable and is FDA-approved like its counterparts, it works differently from traditional dermal fillers. 

Instead of providing immediate volume, Sculptra stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production. This gradual process gives you a more natural-looking and long-lasting rejuvenation. 

The best part is that Sculptra results can last up to two years, so you can fight aging well into the future without returning for constant touch-ups.

Sculptra vs. traditional fillers

We love traditional fillers for their instant volume and smoothing effects. If you’re looking for an immediate change, we’ve got you covered with our full range of products. However, they typically last only 6-12 months. 

While Sculptra doesn’t plump you up on your first visit, it has the advantage of triggering natural collagen production within your skin. In essence, it turns on the collagen faucet that slowly shuts down as you age.

How Sculptra works

Sculptra’s active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a biocompatible substance, meaning it works well with your tissues and doesn’t harm them. When we inject it into your skin, PLLA microspheres stimulate your collagen resources and tell your body to ramp up its production. As the process kicks in and the collagen builds up, you will gradually see improved skin texture and firmness.

The results become more pronounced with each treatment — expect about three sessions over a few months.

Why Sculptra is a game-changer in aesthetics

Sculptra isn’t just another dermal filler; it has some clear advantages over other injectables. 

Sculptra lasts longer

Traditional fillers require frequent touch-ups, but Sculptra results last up to two years, making it more convenient and cost-effective.

Sculptra’s results are more natural

Sculptra’s collagen-stimulating process is gradual, so your results appear naturally and subtly. Unlike some fillers that can create an overly plumped or artificial look, Sculptra works with your body’s natural processes to enhance your appearance over time.

Sculptra is versatile

What’s going on with your face? Do you have deep creases around your mouth? Hollow cheeks? Lackluster skin? Sculptra can help. Here are a few of Sculptra’s superpowers:

• Smooths deep nasolabial folds
• Restores volume to sunken cheeks
• Reduces the appearance of marionette lines
• Improves skin texture and firmness

Wherever you need a lift, Sculptra comes to the rescue.

Why does Sculptra last so long?

It’s all about collagen.

Collagen is a vital protein that gives your skin its structure and elasticity, but you stop producing it the older you get. As your supply drops off, your skin shrivels, wrinkles, and sags. Sculptra’s PLLA microspheres stimulate collagen production and turn back the clock for your skin.

Because PLLA is biocompatible and biodegradable, your body safely absorbs it over time, ensuring that the collagen stimulation continues for an extended period.
