When you begin to notice that the fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of volume in your face are less responsive to your anti-aging skin care regimen, what do you do next? Over time, the breakdown and loss of collagen and elastin in your skin make it more difficult for it to “bounce back” from physical and environmental factors that make you look older than you feel.
Injectable fillers are a popular and effective way to fight the battle against aging without surgery or recovery time. Premiere Center for Cosmetic Surgery is proud to offer a variety of injectable treatments, including Sculptra® Aesthetic.

What Is Sculptra® Aesthetic?
Sculptra® Aesthetic is an injectable dermal filler designed to address fine lines, wrinkles, and facial volume loss while still looking completely natural. The active ingredient in Sculptra® Aesthetic is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), a biostimulator that works to stimulate your body’s collagen production. Biostimulators are injected into the superficial dermal layer of your skin, encouraging collagen production to smooth your skin and restore a more youthful suppleness to your face.
The primary difference between Sculptra® Aesthetic and other dermal fillers is that it doesn’t rely on gels to create artificial volume or fill creases and folds. Instead, Sculptra® Aesthetic stimulates collagen production, working with your body to naturally restore volume and smooth your complexion. That’s why you won’t see immediate results with Sculptra® Aesthetic like you would with gel-based filler. Your results develop gradually as your skin is rejuvenated and refreshed from the inside out.
What Are the Benefits of Sculptra® Aesthetic?
Sculptra® Aesthetic is FDA-approved to address several skin concerns related to aging. Some of the benefits of Sculptra® Aesthetic include:
- Increased collagen in your skin
- Natural skin rejuvenation
- Reduced risk of allergic reactions than with gel-based fillers
- No downtime is required after treatment
- Subtle, natural results that never look overdone
Our philosophy is to create the most natural results and never do more than is necessary.

FAQs
Sculptra® Aesthetic offers a way to refresh your face naturally, helping to smooth wrinkles and boost volume in several areas of your face. Sculptra® Aesthetic is used for:
- Restoring volume in your cheeks
- Erasing lines in the mid and lower face (nasolabial folds, marionette lines)
- Tightening your jawline
- Smoothing chin wrinkles
Sculptra® Aesthetic offers longer-lasting results than many fillers, allowing you to enjoy revitalized skin for up to two years after your treatment.
Ideal candidates for Sculptra® Aesthetic are men and women over 18 who are nonsmokers and wish to address skin concerns associated with aging. The best way to discover if Sculptra® Aesthetic is right for you is to schedule a consultation with the experts at Premiere Center for Cosmetic Surgery.
When you visit Premiere Center for Cosmetic Surgery for your Sculptra® Aesthetic treatment, your face should be clean, with no serums or lotions applied. Treatments are virtually painless, but we will use a topical numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort during your procedure. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, Sculptra® Aesthetic is injected into the specific areas of your face that require rejuvenation using several tiny injections.
Once your Sculptra® Aesthetic treatment is complete, you can return to your regular daily routine. There are no restrictions and no downtime, and no one will even know you’ve received an aesthetic treatment.
Sculptra® Aesthetic relies on your body’s natural collagen-building processes, so it typically takes about three to four months before you start seeing results. However, your results will continue to refine and improve for up to six months after injection.
Sculptra® Aesthetic is considered safe; however, some minor side effects may occur after injection. Temporary bruising and swelling at the injection sites are common but are mild and resolve quickly. Other potential side effects may include:
- Bleeding
- Redness
- Itching
- Tenderness in the treatment areas
- Bumps under the skin
If you experience any concerning symptoms or have questions after your Sculptra® Aesthetic treatment, contact our office immediately.
While you may see results after one Sculptra® Aesthetic treatment, most people require two or three treatments spaced over a couple of months. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, the number of treatments needed will vary according to the areas targeted for treatment and your desired results.
The cost of your Sculptra® Aesthetic injections depends on several factors, including:
- How many areas you wish to treat
- The size of the treatment area
- How many vials of Sculptra® Aesthetic you need
- How many sessions you require for optimal results
When you come in for a Sculptra® Aesthetic consultation at Premiere Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we will let you know how much your treatment will cost.
