Sculptra®

Plump It Up with Sculptra® Treatments in Atlanta


Sculptra® is not just any dermal filler—it's your secret to a naturally youthful and refreshed look. This innovative treatment is all about working with your body to gradually restore that lost volume and firmness, making it a favorite for those who want subtle, long-lasting results. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, which gently stimulates your skin's own collagen production over time.

The result? A smoother, more lifted appearance that evolves naturally, reducing wrinkles and restoring facial volume in a way that looks and feels like you.

But Sculptra isn’t just about erasing the years—it’s about embracing your unique beauty and enhancing it. Whether you're looking to soften wrinkles or restore fullness to your cheeks, this non-surgical treatment is a fantastic way to achieve a revitalized, age-defying complexion without any drastic changes.

What to Expect at Your Sculptra Appointment

In your Sculptra appointment, your dermatology provider will begin with a thorough consultation to understand your aesthetic goals. After discussing your expectations and ensuring Sculptra is the right fit for you, the provider will clean and mark the injection areas. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize any discomfort.

Your dermatology provider will inject Sculptra beneath the skin using a fine needle, strategically placing the product to stimulate collagen production. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, and you can resume normal activities afterward. Over the following weeks, collagen production is stimulated, and you'll notice a gradual improvement in facial volume and skin texture.

Sculptra Maintenance Recommendations

Maintaining the benefits of Sculptra involves adopting proper aftercare practices. Your dermatology provider will provide personalized guidance, but general recommendations include:
  • Gentle Massage: Massage the treated areas as directed by your dermatology provider to ensure even distribution of Sculptra.
  • Stay Hydrated: Maintain proper hydration to support collagen production and overall skin health.
  • Sun Protection: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly to protect the treated areas from UV damage.
  • Avoid Stress on Skin: Minimize excessive facial movements or stress on the treated areas to optimize results.
  • Regular Follow-ups: Schedule follow-up appointments with your dermatology provider to assess progress and determine if additional sessions are needed.
Adhering to these maintenance recommendations ensures the best outcomes and long-lasting results from your Sculptra treatment.

Sculptra Maintenance Schedule

  • The frequency of maintenance sessions is customized based on individual aesthetic goals, skin condition, and response to Sculptra treatment.
  • Typically, an initial series of 2-3 treatment sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results.
  • Regular follow-up assessments with your dermatology provider will determine the need for additional sessions. Your dermatology provider will also assess the stimulated collagen production to gauge the longevity of results.
  • Depending on individual response, maintenance sessions may be scheduled annually to sustain the desired results.
