What is Sculptra?
Sculptra® is an advanced injectable treatment that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to gradually restore volume and smooth deep wrinkles. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works over time to rebuild your skin’s foundation—creating results that are natural-looking and long-lasting.
At SOMA Face and Body, we use Sculptra to help patients achieve subtle, beautiful rejuvenation that evolves with your body and stands the test of time.
What Does Sculptra Treat?
- Deep nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines and chin wrinkles
- Volume loss in the cheeks or temples
- General facial thinning due to aging
- Early signs of facial laxity or hollowing
Sculptra is especially effective for overall facial rejuvenation in patients seeking a gradual transformation rather than immediate plumping.
How It Works
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that stimulates collagen growth beneath the skin. As your body produces new collagen, it restores volume and structure, gradually improving skin texture and firmness.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra’s results develop over several weeks to months, but they typically last up to two years or more.
