Q&A

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable that addresses the underlying causes of facial aging, not just the symptoms. Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that works with your body to help rebuild collagen lost with aging or illness. Common treatment areas include deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), also called (smile lines), lines framing the mouth(marionette lines), and chin wrinkles. Contact a SkinReMEDI office to schedule to see if you are a candidate for Sculptra.  

How does Sculptra® work?

Sculptra® is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps to rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments administered by a trained specialist. Over time, Sculptra helps the body reproduce lost collagen with results lasting up to 2 years.

 What is Collagen?

Collagen is a fibrous protein in the deep dermis that gives skin structure and supports the functions of elastin and hyaluronic acid (HA), which helps maintain the skin's shape, while keeping it smooth and hydrated. A healthy supply of collagen makes for a more youthful-looking complexion.

What areas can Sculptra® Treat?

Sculptra® is administered by a SkinReMEDI Aesthetic Injector to correct shallow to deep wrinkles and folds on the face.

Sculptra® is approved to treat:

  • Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), also called “smile lines”
  • Lines framing the mouth(marionette lines)
  • Chin wrinkles

How many treatments will I need?

The number of Sculptra® appointments and the number of injections per appointment vary depending the aesthetic goals of the patient and on how much collagen has been lost. On average, three injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months.

How much do treatments cost?

Costs will vary, depending on the patient’s treatment plan. SkinReMEDI offers cost-saving packages and other exclusive offers for qualifying patients.

How long will the treatment take?

Treatments take approximately 20-30 mins and additional 30 minutes for pre-treatment prep to ensure comfortability during your visit.

Is there downtime with Sculptra?

There is no downtime after Sculptra but your SkinReMEDI Aesthetic Injector will provide you with post-treatment protocols which will be important to follow.
