What to expect at your Sculptra Appointment.
At your Sculptra session, your provider will review your goals and carefully inject the product into targeted areas to stimulate collagen production. The treatment takes about 30–60 minutes, with minimal discomfort. You may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically fades within a few days. Results appear gradually over several weeks, with full effects after a series of treatments.

Sculptra is designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production, creating gradual, long-lasting improvements in volume and skin texture. While individual results may vary, most patients enjoy their results for up to two years or more after completing their treatment series. Periodic maintenance sessions can help extend and optimize your outcome, keeping your skin looking youthful and refreshed for the long term.

Sculptra is generally well-tolerated, but like any injectable treatment, it can cause some temporary side effects. Common reactions include swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, or itching at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few days. In rare cases, small lumps or bumps may develop under the skin, but these often soften over time. Serious complications are very uncommon when the treatment is performed by an experienced provider. During your consultation, we will review all potential risks and how to minimize them for the safest, most effective outcome.
