Contact UsWhat is Sculptra?
Loss of volume happens during the natural aging process, especially in the middle of the face, as the cheeks become hollow and flat. Our highly skilled team uses Sculptra Aesthetic, a poly-L-lactic acid injectable dermal filler that allows for longer-lasting and deeper volume in the mid-face. In addition to restoring the fullness of the mid-face, Sculptra can decrease the appearance of shallow to deep lines and wrinkles, like the nasolabial folds (also known as smile or laugh lines) that run from the outside of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth. With a unique gel formula approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sculptra helps to increase the natural production of collagen in your body so even after you stop getting injections, your skin should be healthier. Schedule a consultation at Dr Diva Aesthetics in Downers Grove, IL to discover the advantages of this dermal filler.

Who Are Ideal Candidates for Scupltra?
Sculptra Aesthetic is great for patients who want to improve contour in their mid-face without implants and surgery. Some candidates may have been born with hollow cheeks, whereas other patients experience age-related volume loss. Sculptra may also be used to improve shallow to severe facial lines and wrinkles, including marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and chin wrinkles. Since Sculptra works to prompt the natural production of collagen in the skin, most Sculptra patients will notice an improvement in the overall health and appearance of their skin.
How Does The Sculptra Injection Technique Work?
After your consultation to create your custom plan for treatment, you will receive your injections in our minor procedure room. Your injector can use a local anesthetic or numbing cream before cleansing and marking the areas to be injected. As soon as you are prepared, the filler will be injected down to the deeper layers of the skin at the selected areas. For longer-lasting results, our team suggests a series of four Sculptra injections performed at Dr Diva Aesthetics around three weeks apart.
What Should I Expect After Sculptra Injections?
After your Sculptra treatment, you may have mild to moderate swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site that should resolve itself in a few days. You may apply a cold compress to the injection sites to encourage healing. You should avoid UV exposure after your injection and use sun protection. Most patients will see clear improvements immediately following their appointment, with full results seen after 3 – 5 months, when the natural production of collagen improves the health of the complexion. If Sculptra is performed in a series of injections over 3 – 4 months, results may last as long as two years.

About UsSculptra® FAQs
How much does Sculptra cost?
Dermal fillers like Sculptra can vary in price based on how many units are needed to achieve your goals. Some patients may also need multiple injections for the optimal outcome. In your initial consultation, your injector will discuss your conerns and customize a treatment plan with cost estimates.
How does Sculptra work?
Using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra is a treatment that works within the dermis of the skin to help stimulate the production of collagen. It can help to rejuvenate your skin’s inner structure and appearance as more collagen is produced. The increased collagen can effectively plump facial folds and wrinkles.
Are Sculptra injections safe?
Sculptra is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and it has a long history of safety worldwide since 1999. Side effects are rare and usually mild, including minor pain, swelling, redness, and bruising. Occasionally, small bumps may appear when pressure is put on the injection site. Contact our office if you experience any concerns about side effects that are abnormal or last too long.
What is the best age to receive Sculptra?
A dermal filler like Sculptra can be a good choice if you want to soften the visibility of static lines and wrinkles. It can specifically be used to improve wrinkles on the chin, fine lines surrounding the lips, and the nasolabial folds. The most common age to receive Sculptra injections is starting around their late 30s to early 50s. However, it is also common for patients who are younger and older than this range to receive injections.
How long do results last?
To make the results last longer, some patients may need to get multiple injections. Sculptra is different from other fillers because the results can last as long as two years. Since the production of collagen continues to develop over time, results may appear more gradually.
Can I combine Sculptra with other facial treatments?
Yes, many patients choose to combine Sculptra with other facial treatments for a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Treatments like BOTOX®, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing can be done in conjunction with Sculptra. However, the timing and sequence of these treatments should be carefully planned. During your initial consultation, your injector can discuss your aesthetic goals and help create a customized treatment plan that may include multiple modalities.
