What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is a facial injectable approved by the FDA, made from synthetic poly-lactic acid. It works by gradually helping your body replenish lost collagen, which restores fullness and smooths wrinkles around the mouth and nose. By enhancing collagen production in the deep dermis, Sculptra® targets the underlying causes of aging, helping to rebuild your skin’s inner structure and volume. Collagen is essential for keeping skin elastic, firm, and resilient, and Sculptra® boosts its production, resulting in subtle yet noticeable improvements.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Sculptra® works by gradually stimulating your body’s natural collagen production to restore skin structure and volume. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), injected under the skin. Typically, 3-4 treatments spaced weeks to months apart are needed to achieve lasting results, which can endure for up to two years.
Benefits of Sculptra®
Sculptra® Aesthetic offers a refined, youthful look by naturally stimulating collagen production. This non-invasive treatment gradually enhances skin without lasers or harsh chemicals, making it one of the safest options for non-surgical enhancement.
Crafted with medical-grade synthetic materials, Sculptra® works deep within the skin to fortify its structure. Over time, you can rebuild your skin’s framework, resulting in long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation.
This injectable dermal filler naturally enhances your facial features. By boosting collagen production, Sculptra® effectively reduces wrinkles, lines, and furrows around the lips, eyes, mouth, neck, cheeks, and chin. The subtle and gradual changes allow you to maintain your daily routine without drawing attention, ensuring a discreet transformation.
Why Choose Sculptra®?
Sculptra® filler is ideal for those seeking a long-lasting, aesthetic rejuvenation with minimal downtime. This injectable collagen stimulator adds volume to younger-looking skin and promotes natural collagen production, ensuring a more enduring effect. With improvements visible as early as four weeks and results lasting up to two years or more, Sculptra® is fast-acting and effective. It’s versatile enough to enhance multiple areas, including cheeks, temples, chin, and jawline, providing a natural-looking appearance that restores facial structure and volume. Additionally, Sculptra® ‘s unique method of volumizing using L-lactic acid—a compound naturally found in your body’s cells—makes it one of the safest cosmetic treatments available.
When Will Results Show?
You might not see immediate results like with hyaluronic acid fillers. Since Sculptra® works by boosting your body’s natural collagen production, it can take up to 6 weeks for the effects to become visible.
What areas can Sculptra® Treat?
Sculptra® Aesthetic can treat various facial areas, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, and nasolabial folds. It also targets cellulite, loose skin, and stretch marks. By boosting collagen production, Sculptra® improves skin elasticity and firmness, giving you a smoother, more youthful look.

What To Expect Before a Sculptra® Procedure
Before your Sculptra® filler appointment at the Larrabee Center in Seattle, WA, you will consult with one of our experienced aesthetic practitioners. We understand your concerns and desired outcomes, and with decades of experience in cosmetic treatments, we are dedicated to helping you safely achieve your natural aesthetic goals.
What To Expect During a Sculptra® Procedure
To ensure you’re comfortable during your Sculptra® treatment, we’ll use either a numbing cream or an injection to numb the area. Our practitioner will then carefully inject Sculptra® into specific areas to boost collagen production, helping smooth out wrinkles and restore volume. We’ll gently massage the treated areas to enhance collagen stimulation and prevent lumps. You’ll also receive instructions on how to continue self-massaging at home for optimal results. The entire procedure usually takes about 45 minutes.
What To Expect After a Sculptra® Procedure
Following your Sculptra® injections, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. You can gently apply makeup if needed. Typically, any swelling or bruising will subside within a few days. Enhanced results often start to appear within the first month.
