| What It Is
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable designed to restore lost facial volume and gradually improve skin texture by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Sculptra works over time—subtly smoothing wrinkles and folds for a refreshed, more youthful appearance. It’s made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable compound that’s safely absorbed by the body as it rebuilds collagen from within.
| Personalized Treatment Plans
At Velézia, your journey begins with a thoughtful consultation to assess your goals and skin needs. Based on your unique anatomy and desired outcome, we’ll determine whether Sculptra is the right option and craft a personalized treatment plan to deliver gradual, natural-looking results that last.
| How It Works
Sculptra (PLLA) is a collagen-stimulating injectable that targets the underlying cause of facial aging—volume loss due to collagen depletion. Once injected, Sculptra activates your body’s natural regenerative process to rebuild collagen gradually. Results typically become noticeable after a series of 2–4 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, depending on your unique needs.
| Long-Lasting Results
Results from Sculptra appear gradually, with most clients noticing improvement within a month as collagen production increases. Full results build over time and can last up to 2 years, making Sculptra an ideal option for those seeking a natural, long-term refresh without looking “done.”
-
Sculptra injections are generally well tolerated. A fine cannula is often used to enhance comfort and minimize bruising, though a needle may be used for more precise areas. A topical anesthetic is applied before treatment to reduce sensitivity. Most clients describe the sensation as a light pressure or pinch.
-
Sculptra is a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. Most clients can resume normal activities immediately. However, to support optimal results, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, and extended sun exposure for 24–48 hours after your appointment.
-
Sculptra results are long-lasting. While subtle changes may appear within the first month, collagen production continues to improve over several months. Full effects can last up to 2 years, depending on factors like your metabolism, lifestyle, and skin type.
-
Sculptra is generally well-tolerated. Common side effects may include mild swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days. Rare but more serious side effects—such as nodules or granulomas—can occur. Your provider will review all potential risks and aftercare instructions during your consultation to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

To ensure the best results and minimize the risk of bruising, follow these simple preparation tips:
Avoid blood thinners: Refrain from taking aspirin, NSAIDs, or other blood-thinning medications for one week prior, unless otherwise directed by your physician.
Skip alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
Arrive with clean skin: Please come with a clean, makeup-free face.
Disclose medications and supplements: Let your injector know about any medications or supplements you're currently taking.
-
Proper aftercare is essential to support optimal results. Follow these guidelines post-treatment:
Ice packs: Apply a clean ice pack to treated areas in short intervals during the first 24 hours to minimize swelling.
Massage: Gently massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to promote even product distribution.
Avoid heat: Refrain from hot baths, saunas, and strenuous exercise for several days.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to help support collagen production.
Follow up: Attend any recommended follow-up appointments to monitor progress and ensure ideal outcomes.
