How Sculptra® Treatment Works for Long-Lasting Volume Restoration
Sculptra® treatment is a minimally invasive, collagen-stimulating procedure that helps restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. During the procedure, injections are strategically placed in specific areas to promote collagen production, leading to a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The procedure typically lasts 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated, and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
Common areas treated include:
- Cheeks to restore lost volume and create lift
- Jawline for improved definition
- Smile lines and marionette lines for smoother skin
- Lips for subtle volume and smoother fine lines
This treatment works gradually, with full results visible after 6-8 weeks as collagen rebuilds in the treated areas. The effects typically last up to two years, providing lasting rejuvenation and volume restoration.
