Sculptra is a dermal filler designed to enhance facial volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It contains poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates collagen production for a natural and long-lasting rejuvenation effect.
Synthesize Collagen & Reverse Aging
Sculptra is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that utilizes poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a vital protein that provides structural support and elasticity, but it naturally diminishes with age, leading to wrinkles and volume loss. Sculptra’s unique approach promotes the gradual synthesis of collagen, effectively reversing the signs of aging by restoring facial volume, improving skin texture, and reducing wrinkles. This treatment offers a natural, long-lasting rejuvenation effect, often lasting up to two years.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra works through a scientific process known as collagenesis. The key ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, is a biocompatible synthetic substance. When injected into the skin, it stimulates fibroblasts, specialized cells responsible for collagen production. Over time, the fibroblasts respond to this stimulation by generating new collagen fibers. This increased collagen production gradually restores lost facial volume and improves skin texture. As collagen continues to build, the skin becomes firmer, more youthful, and less wrinkled.

Your Sculptra Experience
Your Sculptra experience begins with a consultation with Hetal. During the procedure, Hetal will carefully inject Sculptra into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The injections are administered beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production. While you may experience mild discomfort, the procedure is generally well-tolerated, and Hetal can use numbing agents to minimize any discomfort.
Following your Sculptra treatment, you might notice some temporary side effects like swelling, redness, or bruising, but these typically subside within a few days. You can resume your daily activities immediately, and there is minimal downtime involved. The results from Sculptra are not immediate; instead, they develop gradually as collagen production increases. You can expect to see visible improvements over several weeks, with results lasting up to two years.
