Sculptra™ Injections Details

At the Knight Dermatology Institute we employ a variety of agents, often in combination, to help our patients achieve a more youthful appearance. One of these products is a volumizing agent called Sculptra™.

Sculptra™ dermal filler is an injectable poly-L-lactic acid that is approved by the FDA for correction of facial fat atrophy associated with certain diseases and medications. However, many cosmetic surgeons use Sculptra™ dermal filler off label to help restore lost volume and facial contours to our aesthetic patients. Poly-L-lactic acid has a long safety record, and is commonly used in absorbable surgery sutures and surgical implants. Click here for the Sculptra®Aesthetic Customer Communications Fact Sheet.

Sculptra Injections Procedure

Fat loss below the surface of the skin, also termed lipoathrophy, causes sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, and indentations. Sculptra™ dermal filler is safe, biocompatible, and no allergy testing is required before use. It is injected directly into the skin to gradually improve the appearance of skin folds and depressions. A local anesthetic is used to prevent any discomfort prior to the injections.

Sculptra™ Treatment Results and what to expect

Results of the treatments are not immediate. The skin may look better initially due to swelling but it takes serial treatments and a few months to build new collagen. Usually three to six treatments are required to achieve the desired result. Normal activities can be resumed the same day and makeup can be applied immediately after treatment.

Are there any side effects in using Sculptra™ Dermal Filler?

• Sculptra™ dermal filler is generally well tolerated, but does have some potential minor side effects. Rarely, some patients note small bumps under the skin, tenderness, bruising, swelling, redness, and discomfort at the injection sites.

• Massage of the skin is imperative after injection, and ice packs can be used to reduce any discomfort.

• These side effects are temporary and typically subside in a few hours to a few days.
