What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra is a type of cosmetic injectable that restores volume in your face or body. Aging and certain illnesses can cause skin laxity and reduced volume, but Sculptra corrects this. It contains a biocompatible substance called poly-L-lactic acid that naturally stimulates your skin’s collagen production.

What are the benefits of Sculptra?

Some of the main benefits you can expect after choosing Sculptra at Elevate Aesthetics include:

• Younger-looking skin
• Fewer lines and wrinkles
• Improved facial or body contours
• Restored skin volume
• More collagen and elastin production 
• Reduced skin sagging
• Improved skin volume
• Effective, natural-looking results

There’s no pain, surgery, or downtime associated with Sculptra injections. The treatment is simple and fast, making it an excellent lunchtime option.

Is Sculptra right for me?

To determine if you’re a candidate for Sculptra injections, your Elevate Aesthetics provider reviews your medical history and beauty goals. They examine your face or body areas you have concerns about and let you know what you expect during the procedure. Your specialist then personalizes a treatment plan that matches your goals.

What should I expect during Sculptra injections?

During Sculptra injections at Elevate Aesthetics, you rest on a comfortable, reclining chair. Your specialist numbs the treatment area before injecting Sculptra into targeted areas of your face or body.

You might feel a slight pinch or pressure during needle insertion, but it’s not painful due to the topical anesthetic used to numb your skin. Each injection lasts just a minute or two.

What happens after the procedure?

After receiving Sculptra injections at Elevate Aesthetics, expect some redness, swelling, or tenderness at the site of treatment. Ice the area to reduce swelling if you’d like, but you can resume normal activities right away after treatment. 

You’ll notice immediate results after Sculptra injections, with continued improvements in your skin’s appearance over time.

Multiple Sculptra treatments, along with maintenance injections, help you maintain younger-looking results over the long term. The effects of Sculptra often last up to two years or longer in some cases.
