Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulator—not a dermal filler—that gradually stimulates your body’s own natural collagen production. Facial aging is often caused by a gradual loss of collagen, which helps maintain skin structure, firmness, and volume.
Unlike many anti-aging treatments that target surface-level concerns, Sculptra® works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen regeneration, addressing the root cause of volume loss over time. Results develop gradually and can last more than two years with optimal treatment.
How does Sculptra® Aesthetic differ from other anti-aging treatments?
Not all facial injectables target the underlying issue of collagen loss. While many products reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Sculptra® stands apart by stimulating collagen over time. Sculptra® is unique in its ability to stimulate collagen gradually, offering a natural-looking and long-term improvement in facial volume and skin quality. Think of Sculptra® as a 401(k) for your skin—a long-term investment in collagen and skin resilience.
Topical collagen creams claim to deliver collagen into the skin. However, collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the dermis and can only improve surface hydration temporarily. They may enhance hydration but do not stimulate collagen production.
Collagen supplements taken orally are broken down in the digestive system, and clinical evidence for their effectiveness on skin remains limited and inconsistent.
Neuromodulators like Botox® and Dysport® relax targeted muscles to reduce wrinkles, but results are temporary and do not impact collagen production.
How does Sculptra® Aesthetic really work?
Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable compound. Over the course of several treatments—usually spaced 6-8 weeks apart—collagen is gradually rebuilt within the skin. This collagen regeneration restores volume, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and supports healthier skin structure.
At Hello Smooth, one of our trained and licensed Sculptra® specialists in Jacksonville, FL will inject Sculptra® into the dermis. This is the area where collagen fibers reside and support skin firmness. It takes time for your body to produce new collagen. Most patients require a series of three sessions for best results. The number of vials and sessions will vary based on your individual goals and the degree of volume loss.
