ABOUT SCULPTRA® ↘
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved collagen stimulator that gradually restores lost facial volume and improves the look of wrinkles and folds. At Haus of Aesthetics Med Spa in San Antonio, we recommend it for clients who want subtle, natural-looking results that build over time instead of an instant change.
HOW IT WORKS ↘
Sculptra® is made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that helps your skin rebuild its own collagen. Instead of filling an area right away like a hyaluronic acid filler, it works gradually over several months. Because the volume comes from your own collagen, results look soft and natural.
THE TREATMENT EXPERIENCE ↘
Your visit begins with a consultation to assess volume loss and skin quality, and to plan how many sessions and vials you'll need.
Your injector places Sculptra® in targeted areas with a fine needle or cannula, then massages the area to spread the product evenly.
Each visit takes about 60 minutes. Most clients need a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
WHAT TO EXPECT ↘
You may look fuller right after treatment because of swelling and fluid, which fades within a few days. Your real results build gradually over the next few months as new collagen forms, and they can last up to 2 years. At home, follow the 5-5-5 rule: massage the area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. Individual results vary.
