Sculptra at Essex MedSpa
Sculptra activates the skin's natural regenerative process and helps replenish lost volume and support of your skin's inner structure. It is biocompatible and provides a gradual, yet significant improvement in skin thickness and reduces the appearance of facial lines and folds. Unlike other “fillers”, the response slowly builds over time instead of degrading over months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra works by gradually stimulating collagen production in the skin, which helps to restore volume and improve skin texture over time. It is injected deep into the dermis where it gradually breaks down and is absorbed by the body.
What areas of the face can Sculptra treat?
Sculptra is commonly used to treat deep wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. It can also be used to add volume to cheeks and temples.
How long does Sculptra last?
Results from Sculptra are not immediate but appear gradually over several months as collagen production increases. The effects can last up to two years or more, depending on the amount used and the number of treatments.
Is Sculptra painful?
Discomfort during Sculptra injections is usually minimal. Topical anesthetics or local anesthesia may be used to numb the treatment area.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with Sculptra?
Common side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. Occasionally, lumps or nodules may form, which can be treated by your skin care professional.
Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?
Good candidates for Sculptra are individuals who have lost facial volume due to aging or other factors and wish to restore volume and improve facial contours over time.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of Sculptra treatments needed varies depending on the individual’s goals, the area being treated, and the severity of volume loss. Most patients undergo a series of treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart for optimal results.
Is there any downtime after Sculptra?
There is typically little to no downtime after Sculptra injections. Patients may experience temporary swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but they can usually resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Is Sculptra safe?
Sculptra has been used safely and effectively for many years. It is FDA-approved injectable that has been used for over 20 years.
Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Sculptra can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers or Botox or Jeuveau, to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your skin care professional can recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your aesthetic goals.
