Sculptra rebuilds collagen gradually for lasting volume. Like Radiesse®, it stimulates natural lift. It is part of the advanced Biostimulators for holistic rejuvenation. If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to smooth deep wrinkles, minimize fine lines, and restore lost facial volume, Sculptra® treatment offers a natural, long-lasting alternative. At Medspa California, we provide expert Sculptra for volume loss to help rejuvenate your face and give it a youthful, refreshed appearance. Serving San Ramon, our board-certified providers ensure a personalized experience for every patient.
Sculptra® is a dermal filler made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which operates in a different manner compared to standard hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm®. While traditional fillers provide immediate volume, Sculptra® stimulates your body’s natural collagen production gradually, which helps restore facial volume over several weeks. This process not only smooths wrinkles but also improves skin texture for long-lasting results that develop over time.
Sculptra® promotes the production of collagen deep within the skin. When injected, it activates your skin’s natural regeneration process, which results in gradual collagen growth. Unlike traditional fillers, the volume created by Sculptra® isn’t immediate—it builds over a series of weeks, leading to subtle, natural-looking improvements. Over time, Sculptra results provide a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.
Sculptra® is perfect for individuals who experience age-related volume loss, sagging, or deep wrinkles. Whether you’re noticing hollow cheeks, a sagging jawline, or wrinkles deepening around your mouth, Sculptra for volume loss can restore your youthful appearance.
However, it’s important to note that Sculptra® treatment is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women or for those with certain allergies or medical conditions. A consultation with one of our board-certified injectors will help determine if you’re a good candidate for this treatment.
Your Sculptra® journey begins with an in-depth consultation with one of our board-certified providers. In this consultation, we will focus on understanding your aesthetic aspirations and any concerns you may have. We’ll also assess your facial features to identify the most suitable treatment plan for you. We will assess areas where Sculptra for volume loss can provide the most benefit, such as the cheeks, jawline, or nasolabial folds. Once we grasp your goals, we will develop a customized dermal filler treatment plan designed specifically for your individual requirements and expectations. We’ll also address any questions you might have to make sure you feel confident and well-informed before proceeding.
To keep you comfortable throughout the procedure, we will apply a topical numbing cream to the areas being treated. This step helps minimize any discomfort associated with the injections. The numbing cream typically takes a few minutes to work, ensuring that you’re relaxed and pain-free throughout the treatment. Some patients may also receive a local anesthetic to further enhance comfort, depending on the area being treated and individual preferences.
Once the treatment area is numbed, the Sculptra® injections will be administered by your trained provider. Using a fine needle, Sculptra® is carefully injected into specific areas of your face where volume loss has occurred. The process is relatively quick, usually taking about 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. While the injections themselves may cause mild pressure or a slight pinching sensation, most patients report minimal discomfort due to the numbing process. The injectable gel is strategically placed to restore volume and stimulate natural collagen growth over time.
Following your Sculptra® treatment, it’s common to notice some slight swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection sites. These symptoms are perfectly normal and usually subside within a few days. To support your recovery and achieve the best results, we will give you specific aftercare guidelines. This may involve gently massaging the treated areas to ensure even product distribution and reduce the risk of lumps. We may also advise you to avoid intense physical activity, sun exposure, and alcohol for the first 24 hours after treatment. The effects of Sculptra® will progressively become visible over the course of several weeks as collagen production ramps up. Most patients typically start to notice significant enhancements around 3 to 4 weeks after treatment.

At Medspa California, our patients’ satisfaction is our top priority, and we’re proud of the results they achieve with our comprehensive treatments. Here’s what some of our patients have shared about their experience:
Most patients require 3 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart for optimal Sculptra results. This allows time for collagen production to take place and for your facial volume to gradually build.
While Sculptra treatment involves injections, most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure. To make the process more comfortable, we apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment areas, ensuring minimal pain during injections.
Unlike standard dermal fillers, Sculptra provides a gradual approach to addressing volume loss. You may notice some changes within 2 to 3 weeks, but optimal results typically develop over 3 to 6 months as collagen levels rise. The results are subtle, natural, and long-lasting.
Sculptra® can deliver enduring results lasting up to two years or even longer, influenced by your skin’s condition and various lifestyle factors. Since Sculptra® stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, the results improve over time and help maintain volume for an extended period.
Yes, Sculptra® treatment is FDA-approved and considered safe for most patients. As a biocompatible and biodegradable filler, it’s made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is absorbed naturally by your body. Adverse effects are uncommon and usually mild, such as swelling, bruising, or redness around the areas where injections are given.
