Depending on the results you want to achieve, combining Sculptra with other procedures may be beneficial. Following an in-depth consultation in which we understand your goal, our professional staff at Meeting Point Health will suggest which treatments will give you the best results.

Sculptra is considered to be safe. Following your procedure, you can expect some temporary redness, swelling, and bruising of the treated area. Rare side effects include small bumps appearing beneath the skin.

Sculptra is made of Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable material. PLLA mimics human collagen. It is regenerative in that it also stimulates your body to create its own new collagen. As we age, we lose 10% of our collagen production with each decade. That means that at 40 years old, you have a 40% decrease in collagen production as compared to when you were born. At 50 years old, you’ll lose 50%, and so on. Sculptra is the only FDA-approved filler that produces results that last over 2 years; the longevity of results is in large part due to regenerative effects.

Some side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, pain, and itching at the injection site. These side effects usually resolve within a few days. We try to minimize these by encouraging our clients to use arnica for a few days before treatment. In addition, we recommend pausing any vitamin or herbal supplements that are blood thinning. On the day of treatment, your clinician will use topical numbing cream and Pronox to make your procedure comfortable.

If you’re interested in turning back the clock with a Sculptra injection, contact Meeting Point Health for a consultation. We’ll review your medical history, answer any questions, discuss your overall cosmetic goals, and help you determine if this is the right treatment for you. If you’ve begun to notice that your face is losing volume and you prefer a convenient treatment, Sculptra could be right for you.

The most common areas of the face that are injected are the temples, cheek region, and the lower face. Sculptra can also be injected into the buttocks to replenish collagen and provide a sense of lift.

It can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin by stimulating the skin’s collagen production. It will help restore the plumpness and smoothness of younger, healthy skin by triggering your body’s natural collagen production.

Sculptra is most commonly injected into the deep dermal layer of the skin, where it helps to replace lost collagen. It is used to correct facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds and enhance the fullness of the cheeks.
