Natural Skin Rejuvenation With Sculptra
Sculptra is an anti-aging injectable treatment that stimulates your own collagen production. It helps to restore volume loss and repairs your skin’s structural foundation. The results with Sculptra® appear over time, providing a gradual yet dramatic transformation for glowing and plump skin.
Sculptra is a unique cosmetic injectable because, unlike other treatments that use a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid to instantly plump skin and smooth lines and wrinkles to add volume to different areas, this is a biostimulator that forces the body to respond to injections by producing new collagen in the treatment area. You don’t have to rely on the filler formula for results; instead, you will see your body respond to the treatment by naturally smoothing and filling different areas of the face and body. This FDA-approved injectable provides an effective way to naturally combat aging, achieve your ideal results, and enjoy them long-term.
For those in Elmhurst & Oak Brook Sculptra is a highly versatile treatment that can help reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and lines. It addresses volume loss on the face by promoting collagen production to fill areas of skin laxity and enhance firmness, leading to a more youthful appearance. In addition to its anti-aging benefits, Sculptra can also be used to contour the face and achieve a more sculpted look, such as defining the jawline or cheekbones. Off-label, it can even be used to improve the appearance of the buttocks by adding volume and lift. Sculptra is a powerful and multifunctional treatment that can help address a range of concerns related to aging and volume loss across different areas of the face and body.

Treating the Face and the Body
With Sculptra Oak Brook & Elmhurst patients can naturally restore volume into different areas of the face and body to accomplish aging and cosmetic-related goals.
We can use it to smooth the most common lines and hollow areas that develop on the lower and middle half of the face due to volume loss, including smile lines, nasolabial folds, chin wrinkles, flattening cheeks, marionette lines, and hollow temples. We can also use it to improve the appearance of hip dips and to perform a natural, non-surgical BBL.
What Happens During the Treatment Process?
When undergoing Sculptra Elmhurst & Oak Brook patients will find it is similar to any other anti-aging cosmetic injectable treatment. First, we will cleanse the treatment area and then administer the right amount of product to your area of concern. You can resume your normal daily activities as soon as your treatment is over. Sculptra uses an active ingredient called Poly-L-lactic acid. Once injected below the skin’s surface, the body responds to this active ingredient by increasing natural collagen production.
When Will I See the Results?
While you may see an initial increase in skin volume due to the filler formula’s presence beneath your skin, it will dissipate in the days following treatment. Even though you may feel like your skin doesn’t initially look any different, under the surface, your body will be responding to the injectable. It may take a few weeks to notice improvements, and the most visible results will appear gradually in the weeks and months following your treatment. On average, patients began to see improvements in their skin within six weeks of initial treatment. It's worth noting that the effects of Sculptra take time to show up and can keep getting better for a few months after treatment as the body starts producing more collagen. We can give you more details about what to expect from your unique treatment plan at your initial consultation.
Is There Downtime?
With Sculptra there isn’t any downtime after initial treatment, but we will provide aftercare instructions.
You must avoid sunlight, including UV lamp exposure, in the days following treatment. We will also give you instructions on how to massage the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five days post-treatment to ensure optimal results.
Patients can enjoy results two years or longer after initial treatment and then schedule repeat treatments for optimal and long-lasting results.
Sculptra is not like other dermal fillers. It stimulates your body’s production of collagen, so you will gradually see results over the coming months.
We customize treatment plans based on each patient’s aesthetic goals. Once you undergo an initial consultation and we determine which areas you want to treat with Sculptra, we can give you more details about whether you would benefit from a single session or multiple for optimal results.
You may feel a slight discomfort or stinging sensation during the procedure. Most providers use a numbing cream or topical anesthetic if needed to minimize discomfort, and Sculptra often includes lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to make the treatment more comfortable for patients.
After getting Sculptra injections, it's normal to experience some temporary side effects like redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, itching, and lumps at the injection site. However, a few people may experience more severe complications like infections or small, firm bumps under the skin called granulomas. So, if you are planning to undergo this treatment, it's essential to have a conversation with your healthcare provider about the potential risks and complications involved.
Sculptra can be combined with other procedures, such as dermal fillers, Botox injections, laser skin resurfacing, or chemical peels, to help you achieve full facial rejuvenation. However, before combining treatments, it's essential to talk to a qualified provider to determine whether it's safe and suitable for your needs and goals.
The cost of Sculptra treatment can differ depending on various factors, such as the experience of the provider, where you live, the number of sessions required, and the amount of product used. On average, the cost per syringe of Sculptra usually ranges from $700 to $1,200. However, since Sculptra is often sold by the vial rather than by the syringe, the whole cost can vary based on the number of vials needed for treatment. It's best to talk to a provider and get a consultation to know the exact cost based on your treatment plan.
