About Sculptra

The PLLA microparticles are injected below the skin in the target area.
Over days to weeks, the body gradually breaks down the microparticles.
As PLLA degrades, it induces a mild, controlled inflammatory response that stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen.
With new collagen, volume and skin firmness improve over time.
Timeline: You won’t see full results immediately. You may begin to notice improvement in 4–6 weeks, but optimal results often appear after several months.
Sessions: Many treatment plans include 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 (sometimes 6–8) weeks apart, depending on how much correction is needed.
Duration: Effects often last 1 to 2 years, though some providers report longer (up to ~3 years) in optimal cases.
