Before and After Sculptra Photos
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a cosmetic procedure that stimulates the production of collagen. The primary active ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid, which is injected into the skin. This material is biodegradable and biocompatible, interacting well with tissues, gradually breaking down without leaving harmful residues. It encourages the body to form new collagen, giving the skin elasticity, texture, and a youthful appearance.
Sculptra is a safe non-invasive procedure that naturally restores lost facial volume, often resulting from aging. It was FDA-approved in 2004 for the treatment of lipoatrophy, the loss of fat tissue in various areas of the body.
This service is popular among those who want to effectively and long-lastingly rejuvenate their appearance without surgical intervention.
Operating Principle
A specialist carefully injects dermal filler into problematic areas of the skin with a small needle. It stimulates the production of your body’s own collagen, which decreases with age. As a result of Sculptra, your skin naturally regenerates, gradually restoring volume and structure. Wrinkle visibility diminishes, and the aging process slows down. A healthy level of collagen promotes smooth, firm, and elastic skin.
At Solea Brickell spa, we safely and effectively perform Sculptra procedures, helping replenish collagen in your skin to make it firm, healthy, and rejuvenated. Book the service today! We ensure our clients’ comfort during the session and turn dreams into reality!
How Does Sculptra Differ from Other Fillers?
- Instead of simply filling wrinkles or increasing volume, Sculptra stimulates the body to start producing its own collagen. This improves the structure and elasticity of the skin.
- The results develop gradually. The collagen stimulation process takes time to unfold, creating more natural and harmonious outcomes.
- Regular fillers maintain their effects for 6-12 months, while Sculptra can maintain results for up to two years.
- It’s a minimally invasive treatment method, offering significant improvements in appearance without surgical intervention.
- It involves shorter recovery times, allowing you to return to your daily activities more quickly.
- There are no seasonal limitations for the service, and it pairs well with other injection and device-based techniques.
- Sculptra is made from biocompatible synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid. It does not cause allergic reactions and is suitable for all skin types.

Risks of Sculptra Application
Some clients may experience swelling, bruising, redness, or lumps at the injection site. These symptoms usually resolve on their own within a few days or weeks.
Massage and applying ice to the injection site can help reduce side effects after the session. Massage helps distribute the injected material evenly, while ice constricts blood vessels, reducing inflammation and swelling.
Minimizing side effects can be achieved by consulting a competent specialist and following their post-injection recommendations.
What Results to Expect?
Results are not immediate and become noticeable within 3-6 months after the first session. It takes time for the stimulation of natural collagen production. However, the effect of Sculptra can last up to 2 years.
- Restoration of lost volume in the cheek, temple, and other facial areas. The skin acquires a youthful, tightened appearance.
- Stimulating collagen production improves the elasticity and texture of the skin.
- Wrinkles and lines become less pronounced, and the skin becomes smoother.
Procedure Cost
The cost depends on the client’s skin condition, goals, and needs, as well as how many areas are being treated. After a consultation, the specialist will provide the final cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions are needed for visible results?
Experts recommend 3 sessions with a 4-6 week interval between them. Initial signs of improvement begin to show a few weeks after the session. Over the course of several months, you will notice more pronounced and long-lasting results. The facial treatment takes 30-45 minutes.
Is any preparation required before the injections?
Before the injection, the area where Sculptra will be applied is thoroughly cleansed of makeup (it’s better not to apply makeup on the day of the procedure). The cosmetologist removes bacteria, dirt, and oil from the skin, minimizing the risk of infections. The face is treated with an antiseptic.
It is recommended to avoid alcohol and colored products before the session to prevent excessive irritation and redness of the skin. Drinking plenty of water (at least 2 liters a day) in the days leading up to the session is also advisable.
How long is the recovery period after the procedure?
In most cases, clients can return to their regular daily activities immediately after the injections. There may be mild swelling, slight redness, or minor bruising. These symptoms gradually subside within the first few days.
It is advisable to avoid intense physical activity and exposure to excessive heat (tanning beds, saunas, or prolonged sun exposure) in the first few days. You can gently massage the treated areas and apply cold compresses.
Can makeup be applied to the injection site?
Experts recommend avoiding makeup application to the area where injections were performed for the first 24 hours. This allows the skin to rest a bit and avoid potential irritation. It’s best to wait and give it time to recover.
Is the procedure painful?
To alleviate discomfort and pain during the injections, the specialist applies local anesthesia. They carefully administer the anesthetic using a thin needle or use a numbing cream.
