What is Sculptra?

Sculptra Aesthetic (poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA) is an FDA-approved injectable that works differently from traditional fillers. Rather than adding volume directly, Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production deep within the skin. Over weeks and months, this rebuilds the underlying facial structure for a gradual, natural-looking restoration of volume.

At Femme Aesthetics, we use Sculptra for patients who want subtle, progressive improvement — especially in the cheeks, temples, and jawline — with results that can last up to two years.

Your Visit

What to Expect

  1. Before Treatment

    Consultation & Planning

    Your Sculptra journey begins with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your goals and assess your facial volume. Sculptra typically requires a series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.

    • Discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history
    • Receive a customized treatment plan and session timeline
    • Avoid blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications prior to treatment
    • Come with a clean face, free of makeup and skincare products
  2. During Treatment

    Sculptra Injections

    After cleansing the treatment area, Sculptra is injected deep into the skin using a fine needle. A topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. Each session typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, and the product is placed strategically to stimulate collagen production where volume has been lost.

  3. After Treatment

    Recovery & Results

    Follow the “5-5-5 rule”: massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. Mild swelling is expected and typically resolves within a few days. Results appear gradually over several weeks as your body produces new collagen.

    • Follow the 5-5-5 massage protocol to ensure even distribution
    • Expect mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at injection sites
    • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment
    • Results develop progressively over weeks and months
    • Return for your next session in 4–6 weeks as recommended

Possible Side Effects

While Sculptra is generally safe, some patients may experience temporary side effects such as injection site swelling, tenderness, redness, and bruising. Small nodules may form under the skin if the post-treatment massage protocol is not followed properly. These side effects are typically temporary and resolve on their own. Serious side effects are rare when Sculptra is administered by qualified professionals like our team at Femme Aesthetics.

★★★★★

I love that the results came in gradually. After my second session, friends started telling me I looked refreshed but couldn’t pinpoint why. That’s exactly what I wanted — natural improvement without anyone knowing I had anything done.

Maria S. Google Review

★★★★★

My cheeks had lost so much volume over the years. After completing my Sculptra series, the fullness came back beautifully. It’s been over a year and the results are still holding strong. Best investment I’ve made in my appearance.

Jennifer L. Google Review

★★★★★

I was hesitant because Sculptra takes time to show results, but the team at Femme Aesthetics explained everything clearly. The gradual change has been so worth the wait — my temples and jawline look so much better and the results have lasted longer than any filler I’ve tried.

Transparent Pricing

What this costs

Sculptra is priced per vial. It works by stimulating your own collagen over several months, so a course is usually two to three sessions rather than a single visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every question we’ve been asked

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates your body’s own collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume immediately, Sculptra works gradually by triggering collagen growth deep within the skin. Over several weeks and months, the newly produced collagen restores facial volume and improves skin structure for a natural-looking rejuvenation.

How many Sculptra sessions do I need?

Most patients require a series of 2 to 3 Sculptra treatment sessions, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the degree of volume loss and your desired results. During your consultation at Femme Aesthetics, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals.

How long do Sculptra results last?

Sculptra results can last up to two years or more after the full treatment series is completed. Because Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production, the results develop gradually and tend to be long-lasting compared to traditional dermal fillers. Periodic touch-up treatments can help maintain your results over time.

What is the “5-5-5 rule”?

The 5-5-5 rule is a post-treatment massage protocol recommended after Sculptra injections. It involves massaging the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days following each treatment session. This massage helps distribute the product evenly and reduces the risk of small nodules forming under the skin.

Is Sculptra a filler?

Sculptra is technically classified as a collagen stimulator rather than a traditional dermal filler. While fillers like hyaluronic acid add volume directly upon injection, Sculptra works differently by stimulating your body to produce its own collagen over time. This makes results more gradual and natural-looking, with improvements that build progressively over weeks and months.
