WHAT TO EXPECT

  • GRADUAL RESULTS
    • You may expect gradual improvements in your overall appearance in the treated area(s).
    • Your doctor will work with you to determine the number of treatments needed to help achieve the look you want.
  • NOTICEABLE & LASTING RESULTS
    • Results have been proven to last over 2 years.*
    • Following a simple aftercare routine that includes short facial massages will also help you get the most out of Sculptra. Learn more about aftercare.
  • REPLACES COLLAGEN, RESTORES VOLUME
    • Sculptra works deep within the skin to gradually replace lost collagen.
    • As collagen is produced, volume is restored and wrinkles and folds are gradually corrected.
    • The result? Your new youthful look emerges, so it is subtle and natural. Plus, results can last over 2 years.*

WHAT SCULPTRA CAN DO

Sculptra gradually replaces collagen – for a youthful-looking, natural-looking appearance.

SCULPTRA:

  • Helps correct skin depressions, such as skin creases, wrinkles, folds and scars, and for skin aging.
  • Suitable for large volume corrections of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy).

Sculptra treatment effects differ from person to person. Touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired effect. Your doctor will discuss the right treatment plan based on your needs.

  • INJECTION PROCESS
    • Sculptra should only be administered by a Sculptra-trained doctor.
    • Multiple sessions (no sooner than 4 weeks after the injection session) may be needed.
    • The number of treatment sessions depends on various factors, such as your needs and severity of the area you want corrected. At your initial treatment, your doctor will determine how many follow-up treatments may be required.
  • KEEP IN MIND
    • When Sculptra is first injected, you may notice an immediate plumping effect which gives the appearance of a full correction by the end of the treatment session.
    • The original skin depression may even initially reappear, but the depression should gradually improve within several weeks as the treatment effect of Sculptra occurs.

AFTERCARE

To help ensure safe use and obtain optimal results, it is important that you comply with the aftercare instructions provided by your doctor. Here are 4 simple things to do after each session:

  • 1  HAVE AN ICE PACK READY
    • Apply an ice pack (wrapped in a clean cloth) to the treated area every once in a while after treatment to minimize swelling and/or bruising. Avoid direct contact of the ice with the skin.
  • 2  GIVE YOURSELF FACIAL MASSAGES
    • Thoroughly massage the treated area in a circular fashion for 5 minutes, 5X/day for 5 days after each treatment.
    • This helps to evenly distribute Sculptra and promote a natural-looking correction.
  • 3  AVOID EXCESS SUNLIGHT AND UV EXPOSURE
    • Minimize exposure of the treated area to excessive sun and avoid ultraviolet lamp exposure until any initial swelling and redness have disappeared.
  • 4  CAREFULLY CONSIDER OTHER PROCEDURES
    • If you have laser treatment, chemical peeling or any other skin procedure based on active dermal response after treatment, there is a possible risk of eliciting an inflammatory reaction at the implant site.
    • This also applies if Sculptra is administered before the skin has healed completely after these procedures.
