What is Sculptra?
Long-Term Volume Restoration in Houston
Sculptra utilizes poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) as its active ingredient to trigger your body’s own collagen synthesis. This biocompatible compound has been used for decades in various medical applications and dissolves harmlessly in your system over time. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that occupy space temporarily, Sculptra acts as a catalyst, prompting cellular regeneration that rebuilds facial structure from deep within the skin layers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?
Sculptra is an excellent choice for healthy patients throughout the Houston metropolitan area who are experiencing various signs of facial aging and volume depletion, such as:
- Sunken cheeks and hollowing temples
- Deep creases between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Sagging jawline definition
- Thinning skin texture and reduced elasticity
Pregnant or nursing women should postpone Sculptra therapy, as should individuals with active skin conditions. Our comprehensive consultation process enables us to assess your unique anatomy and determine whether Sculptra is the ideal solution for your cosmetic objectives.
Is Sculptra considered a filler?
Sculptra is technically classified as a dermal filler, but it functions very differently from traditional fillers like hyaluronic acid products. While conventional fillers immediately add volume by filling space, Sculptra works as a "biostimulatory filler" that gradually stimulates collagen production rather than providing instant volumizing effects.
Can you see or feel Sculptra under the skin after treatment?
When properly injected and massaged according to post-treatment instructions, Sculptra should not be visible or palpable under the skin once fully integrated. However, inadequate massage or improper injection technique can occasionally lead to small, firm nodules that may be felt beneath the surface, which is why following all aftercare instructions is critical.
Does Sculptra migrate after being injected?
Sculptra has minimal risk of migration compared to some other injectable treatments because it's designed to integrate into the tissue and stimulate collagen production at the injection site. However, proper post-treatment massage is essential to ensure the even distribution of product particles within the first few days after injection, thereby preventing uneven results.
Does Sculptra work on all skin types?
Sculptra is safe and effective for all skin types and ethnicities. It works by stimulating the body's natural collagen production rather than adding a foreign material or affecting pigmentation.
How much does Sculptra cost?
The price of your Sculptra treatment plan will depend on the number of areas being treated and the number of sessions scheduled. We also offer financing through Cherry to help patients manage the cost of care.
The Procedure
After arriving at your appointment at our physician-owned medical studio, one of our expert injectors will first identify the optimal injection points for maximum benefit. Following thorough skin preparation (including cleansing and the use of a topical numbing cream), the Sculptra solution is methodically injected into the deeper tissue layers where collagen rebuilding occurs most effectively.
After Your Session
You can return to your daily activities immediately after your Sculptra appointment, with minimal restrictions. Minor injection site reactions, such as slight swelling or redness, may occur during the initial recovery period but should subside within 48-72 hours.
For best results, we usually recommend three appointments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The results from one round of Sculptra therapy are designed to last two years or longer!
