What is Sculptra™?
Sculptra™ is a sculpting product that, when injected below the skin’s surface, restores volume to correct various signs of aging.
Sculptra™ injections in Atlanta are composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic material. Sculptra™ is not made from human or animal sources and does not require a skin test. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biocompatible (non-harmful to the body) and biodegradable (degradable by the body) material that has been widely used for many years in surgical products. The effects are long-lasting; a clinical study showed they lasted up to 2 years after the first treatment session.
Who is a Candidate for Sculptra™?
If you have facial wrinkles you wish to diminish, you may be a candidate for Sculptra™ injections. You may also be a candidate for Sculptra™ if you have deep nasolabial folds (the line between your nose and the corner of your mouth), or if you have scars on your face that you wish to improve.
If you have facial lipoatrophy (the loss of fat beneath the skin, which can result in sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes), then Sculptra™ may be for you.
Sculptra™ Treatment Details
No skin tests are needed before the first use of Sculptra™. An injection or application of a numbing medication may help reduce discomfort.
Sculptra™ will be injected in small amounts into the skin using a very fine needle. Sculptra™ gradually corrects the depression in your skin. Your doctor will determine the appropriate number of treatment sessions and the amount of Sculptra™ you will need at each session. Anywhere from 3 to 6 treatments will be required, depending on the amount of skin depression to be corrected. These treatments will usually be approximately 4 weeks apart.
Intended Results of Sculptra™
Sculptra™ can smooth out, fill in, and decrease the appearance of wrinkles. Sculptra™ can fill in and reduce the depth of the nasolabial folds. Sculptra™ will fill in depressed acne scars.
Sculptra™ corrects lost volume and increases skin thickness, helping create a more natural facial appearance in those with facial lipoatrophy.
Recuperation and Healing Following Sculptra™ Injections
Immediately after a treatment session, there may be redness, swelling, pain, or bruising in the treated area. These usually disappear in a few hours to a few days. Ice should be applied to help decrease swelling.
The treated area should be lightly massaged a few times each day for several days after the treatment session. Most patients feel comfortable going back to their normal routine after treatment.

The specific risks and the suitability of Sculptra™ for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All procedures have some degree of risk.
