Sculptra® Q & A

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an FDA-approved brand of injectable filler that restores fullness to your face and other targeted areas. The product is so effective that it was first approved to restore facial fullness to people living with HIV.

Unlike other fillers, the active ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). PLLA is found in plants and stimulates the collagen in your skin. Collagen allows your skin to keep its structure and vivacity.

What can Sculptra do?

Sculptra has plenty of uses, but the main goal is to reduce the signs of aging and make you look young and vibrant. You can get Sculptra injections to reduce or eliminate:

Smile lines
Chin wrinkles
Brow furrows
Other facial wrinkles and lines

In some cases, Sculptra can also be used to give you a curvaceous butt, smooth your cellulite, and define your muscle mass.* If full lips are your craving, however, you’re better off exploring other filler options.

What are the risks of using Sculptra?

Injectable fillers come with some risks and side effects that you’ll need to acknowledge before you commit to the treatment. Overall, Sculptra is safe with little risk of infection if it’s used correctly by a professional. Possible short-term side effects include:

Redness
Irritation
Bumps
Discoloration
Itchiness

Skin discoloration and big, unsightly lumps are rare but occur in some cases. That’s why it’s essential that you get your Sculptra injections from an experienced professional like the team members at Transform Austin Med Spa.

Am I a good candidate for Sculptra?

The first criteria that you must meet to be eligible for Sculptra is the desire to look younger and less wrinkled. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with flaunting your wrinkles as trophies of the years behind you, a smooth-skinned, flawless look is desirable for many.

You might not qualify for Sculptra injections if:

You’re allergic to its ingredients
Your skin scars irregularly
You want fuller lips
You don’t have realistic or obtainable expectations

During a consultation, your Transform Austin Med Spa provider determines whether Sculptra is the best option for your goals and if it’s safe for you, given your medical history.

If you long for the full face of your youth, Sculptra can allow you to feel like you’re in your prime. Call Transform Austin Med Spa or request a Sculptra consultation online today.
