Some changes in your face happen slowly, so it makes sense to treat them with a product that works that way, too. Sculptra is a unique injectable that doesn’t just fill—it gradually rebuilds your skin’s collagen structure from within. That means smoother contours, softer lines, and a refreshed appearance that feels authentically you.
At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we use Sculptra to restore subtle volume in the cheeks, temples, and lower face, especially where collagen loss has left the skin looking hollow or tired. It’s perfect for patients who want long-lasting results without looking “done.”
Encourages your skin to rebuild its own support structure
Results can last up to 2 years with proper treatment
Resume daily activities right away
Volume builds subtly over several weeks and can last up to 2 years with proper treatment
Sculptra is an injectable biostimulant made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)—a compound that works beneath the surface to retrain your skin to produce collagen over time. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which give instant plumping, Sculptra’s results are more gradual.
Sculptra is especially effective for addressing facial hollowing, sagging, or thinning skin and is often used in combination with other injectables or skin treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
A Sculptra appointment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. After cleansing and prepping your skin, your provider will make a series of small, targeted injections into areas of collagen loss. The treatment is well-tolerated, and we use numbing as needed to ensure your comfort.
You might experience light swelling or tenderness for a day or two, but most people return to normal activities right away. A short facial massage is recommended at home for several days post-treatment to help evenly distribute the product.
Sculptra is ideal for treating gradual volume loss caused by aging, weight changes, or natural collagen decline. Unlike fillers that only “fill,” Sculptra helps rebuild your skin’s underlying structure, making it a powerful option for:
Sculptra is also commonly used for patients looking to refresh the lower face without surgery, offering gentle lift and firmness over time.
Sculptra is FDA-approved for the face but is also used off-label to treat areas like the buttocks, chest, elbows, knees, and hands, helping improve skin texture and volume in areas that often show aging or laxity.
What makes Sculptra different is that it works with your body to gradually restore what time has softened without creating an overfilled or puffy look.
Because Sculptra stimulates collagen rather than directly filling with volume, the outcome is soft, smooth, and subtle. You’ll look refreshed—not altered.
Many patients enjoy results that last up to two years or more, making Sculptra one of the longest-lasting nonsurgical options for volume loss.
Sculptra helps improve overall facial harmony, supporting the cheeks, jawline, and temples for a more youthful contour—especially when signs of aging aren’t limited to just one spot.
There’s minimal recovery and no instant swelling or overcorrection. The results come in slowly and naturally—like your best self on your best day—every day.
You may be a good candidate for Sculptra if:
Sculptra is not ideal for areas requiring precise contouring (like lips or under eyes), but it pairs well with other treatments. We’ll walk you through a custom plan tailored to your face and goals.
Sculptra doesn’t offer immediate plumping like traditional fillers. Instead, results build gradually over several weeks as your body begins to create new collagen. Most patients begin to notice soft, natural improvements around 4–6 weeks after treatment, with optimal results typically seen after 2–3 sessions spaced a month apart.
Sculptra’s collagen-building effects are long-lasting—up to 2 years for many patients. That makes it an excellent option for individuals seeking a low-maintenance approach to facial rejuvenation. Touch-ups may be necessary over time, but most patients enjoy extended results with fewer sessions compared to traditional fillers.
At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, you won’t be rushed through an injection treatment or handed a one-size-fits-all plan. We take the time to understand your facial anatomy, your goals, and your comfort level, then we build a treatment plan that enhances your natural beauty without overcorrection or guesswork.
Our warm, welcoming environment and medically trained injectors ensure that every step of your experience feels professional, supportive, and completely personal.
Most patients need a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The exact number depends on your age, degree of volume loss, and overall treatment goals. Your provider will create a personalized plan during your consultation.
Sculptra results develop gradually over several weeks, as your body begins producing new collagen. You may start to notice subtle improvements in volume and skin texture around 4–6 weeks after your first session, with continued improvement over time.
Most patients find Sculptra treatments to be very tolerable. A topical numbing cream or lidocaine may be used to minimize discomfort. You may experience some pressure or mild stinging at the injection sites, but the session is brief, and recovery time is minimal.
Yes—Sculptra is FDA-approved and has been used safely for many years. Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary swelling, redness, or small bumps that resolve on their own. Selecting an experienced provider is crucial for achieving smooth, natural-looking results.
Absolutely. Sculptra is often used in conjunction with other injectables, such as Botox or dermal fillers, or paired with treatments like microneedling or laser skin resurfacing. Combining treatments can enhance your overall result and support full-face rejuvenation.
Sculptra and hyaluronic acid fillers (like Juvederm or Voluma) work differently. Sculptra is best for gradual, long-lasting collagen stimulation, while fillers offer immediate volume in specific areas. Your provider can help decide which option—or combination—is right for you.
