Sculptra® is a cosmetic injection made of Poly-L-Lactic acid, a biocompatible component that stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a fibrous protein that holds your skin tissues together and prevents facial sagging because of gravity. When your skin’s collagen reserves decrease because of age, your skin tissues start sagging and you develop fine lines and wrinkles. The PLLA components in Sculptra® in Virginia Beach encourage your body to produce new collagen fibers, which, in turn, enhances facial volume and reduces wrinkles over time.

Your Sculptra® experience
Sculptra® in Virginia Beach is a simple, in-office treatment. After performing a thorough facial analysis, the medical provider cleanses your facial skin and applies a numbing gel. The appropriate units of Sculptra® are carefully injected into the targeted areas on your skin to enhance facial volume and stimulate collagen production. The number of injections depends on your specific goals.
Minimal post-treatment side effects
Sculptra® produces minimal post-treatment side effects, such as redness, swelling, tenderness, lumping, and bruising around the injection sites. The side effects dissipate within a few days.
No post-treatment downtime
Sculptra® doesn’t involve any downtime. You may resume your daily activities and work immediately after your Sculptra® treatment. But you should avoid strenuous physical activities and workouts for a day or two.
Cumulative results over several weeks
Sculptra® will produce immediate results — your facial skin will look smoother and fuller. But the final results of Sculptra® appear gradually over several weeks as your body produces new collagen fibers. You may also need multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. Your medical provider will recommend the ideal Sculptra® treatment plan and frequency.
Sculptra FAQs
Are there any restrictions after a Sculptra treatment?
After receiving Sculptra injections for the face, it’s best to avoid intense physical activity, alcohol, aspirin, and excessive sun exposure for at least 48 hours. These factors can contribute to prolonged swelling or irritation.
When can I expect to see the full results of Sculptra?
Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production. Most patients notice visible improvements around six weeks, with continued enhancements over time, reaching optimal results approximately six months after treatment.
How long do Sculptra results last?
Sculptra’s effects can last up to two years, as the treatment helps rebuild collagen and restore volume naturally.
Are there any side effects associated with Sculptra?
While Sculptra is generally well-tolerated, mild side effects such as swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site may occur. These typically subside within a few days.
Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Sculptra is often paired with Botox®, dermal fillers like Restylane® or Juvederm®, and CO2 laser resurfacing to enhance facial rejuvenation and achieve a more youthful, balanced look.
