Read on to learn how Sculptra can help you achieve youthful, radiant skin with a unique collagen-boosting approach.

How Sculptra Works Differently

Traditional dermal fillers are highly effective for immediate volume. At SafiraMD Medical Aesthetics and Wellness Center, we offer Juvederm® and Restylane® for enhanced volume and contouring in areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines,) and lips. These fillers, made of hyaluronic acid, work immediately and dissipate over time. They generally last 12-18 months.

We also offer Sculptra, a filler made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This biocompatible substance promotes natural collagen production within your body. While results aren’t immediately obvious, Sculptra works under the surface of your skin. Fibroblasts deposit collagen atop the PLLA microparticles, creating a new framework under your skin.

Over time, this repairs the skin foundation and restores lost volume. Sculptra yields gradual, natural results over weeks and months. It’s ideal for areas like the nasolabial folds and cheeks but isn’t right for the lips. Sculptra results can last two years or longer.

Sculptra Results

With over 25 years as an FDA-approved filler, Sculptra has consistently excellent results in patients seeking gradual volume increase. Recent studies show that Sculptra is still a leading solution for facial volume restoration. Patients consistently achieve excellent correction of moderate and severe lines and wrinkles alongside improved skin quality. Study participants frequently praise Sculptra’s natural-looking results.

Sculptra’s benefits aren’t limited to volume, either. In April 2023, the FDA approved Sculptra for enhancing skin glow and firmness in the cheek area. Clinical studies showed that 95% of patients experienced improved skin radiance two years post-treatment.
