What You Can Expect From Your Treatment
Sculptra Q&A
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Instead of acting like a gel that fills space, it stimulates collagen production, gradually restoring volume, firmness, and facial support.
- Works with your body to rebuild collagen
- Produces subtle, progressive improvement over weeks to months
- Ideal for soft, structural rejuvenation rather than sharp, instant augmentation
These benefits make Sculptra a strong option if you want understated, long-lasting improvement rather than a “just filled” look.
Traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers provide instant gel volume. Sculptra works by stimulating collagen that builds gradually over time.
- Mechanism: HA adds instant gel volume; Sculptra stimulates collagen for progressive lift.
- Onset: HA shows right away; Sculptra appears over 4–6+ weeks and builds across a series.
- Longevity: HA typically lasts 6–12 months; Sculptra often lasts up to 2 years with a proper protocol.
- Best use: HA excels at precise contouring (lips, chin, fine lines); Sculptra supports global volume and firmness (cheeks, temples, jawline).
- Reversibility and planning: HA can be dissolved with hyaluronidase; Sculptra isn’t dissolvable and calls for thoughtful dosing, spacing, and ultrasound-guided placement.
In short, choose HA for instant, targeted shaping, and Sculptra for steady, regenerative lift. Treatment plans can combine both to achieve natural, long-lasting balance.
With a series of 2–3 sessions, spaced ~4–6 weeks apart, Sculptra’s collagen-boosting benefits can last up to two years. However, longevity varies depending on your baseline volume, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, and how consistently you maintain results.
You’ll notice a gradual onset after the first session, with peak improvement typically following the completion of your series. To keep results looking their best, maintenance sessions are often recommended every 12–24 months.
The “3-3-3” rule is a simple massage guideline providers often recommend after a Sculptra treatment: massage the treated areas three times a day, for three minutes, for three days. It helps encourage even distribution as your body begins the collagen-building process.
Post-care isn’t one-size-fits-all, though. Some providers recommend a 5-5-5 approach, or adjust the routine based on ultrasound findings and the area treated. At Salt & Sky, you’ll always receive clear, personalized instructions, so if your plan looks a little different, that’s on purpose. We tailor aftercare to your anatomy and treatment goals to support the best, most natural result.
Sculptra is commonly used for global facial rejuvenation and support in:
- Cheeks and midface to restore soft volume and lift
- Temples to address hollowing
- Jawline and pre-auricular area for subtle definition and support
- Chin in select cases for structural balance
- Lower face support to improve overall facial harmony
Sculptra is generally not used for lips or under-eyes because those areas have thin, highly mobile tissue and a delicate blood supply, which raises the risk of lumps, nodules, and visible irregularities. Hyaluronic acid fillers are usually a better fit for those treatment areas.
Yes. Sculptra x Radiesse can be a smart pairing. Sculptra gradually rebuilds collagen for soft, global volume, while Radiesse provides immediate lift and definition while also stimulating collagen.
With thoughtful dosing, proper sequencing, and ultrasound-guided placement, the combination can deliver natural, long-lasting balance. We’ll always plan the order and spacing to fit your features and goals.
