If too much Sculptra Aesthetic is injected into a small area, there is a small risk that the body can respond by creating nodules. If they are troublesome, saline (salt water) can be injected to help break them up. In general, though, these nodules rarely occur in our practice, are not easily seen, and resolve on their own.

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that is designed to fill wrinkles and reduce hollow, sunken cheeks. The treatment increases your body’s natural production of collagen, which is key for tightening the skin.

Sculptra targets one of the underlying causes of the signs of aging: collagen loss. During the course of your Sculptra treatments, your body’s collagen supply is gradually replaced, and volume is restored to key areas of the face. Over time, you may notice that your wrinkles, creases, and folds are smoothed over, leaving you with a rejuvenated and youthful look.

In the face, Sculptra Aesthetic helps to add support, especially along the temples, cheeks, and jawline; fill in hollows; and help with etched-in lines or depressions from scars.

On the body, Sculptra Aesthetic can be used in any area to improve the quality of your skin, including crepey neck skin; etched-in decolletage lines; and saggy skin of arms, elbows, and knees. Sculptra Aesthetic can also be used to lift and round the buttocks and help with the presence of cellulite.

Sculptra’s effect is a gradual process that depends on your body’s immune response to the medication. Your results will improve over time as the treatment helps your body produce natural collagen. Patients typically appreciate their final results several weeks after their last treatment.

Immediately after treatment, it is common to feel discomfort for a few days, especially with eating. There is also the possibility of minor swelling and bruising that may last for several days.

There is a low risk of developing a small bump in an area where the body has formed too much collagen. In the vast majority of cases, the bumps are small and can be detected by feel but are not visible and typically resolve on their own.

You’ll be able to continue with your regular day-to-day activities right after the procedure. Some patients plan their treatments around their social activities to allow some time for potential swelling and/or bruising to resolve.
