What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is not your average filler—it’s a collagen stimulator designed to rebuild your skin’s foundation from the inside out. At BMG Aethetics, we recommend Sculptra for clients who want gradual, long-lasting results that look completely natural.

How Sculptra Works

Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that’s been used in medicine for decades. When injected, Sculptra stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, which helps improve skin structure, firmness, and volume over time.

Think of it like planting seeds—your skin gradually rebuilds collagen where it's needed most, creating a fresher, fuller, and more youthful appearance.

What can Sculptra treat?

Sculptra is best used for:

• Cheeks and midface volume loss

• Temples and hollow areas

• Smile lines (nasolabial folds)

• Marionette lines

• Jawline definition

• Chin softening

• Overall facial rejuvenation

• Non-surgical BBL (butt lift)

• Skin crepiness in the décolletage, thighs, or arms

What to Expect

Before Treatment

• No major prep is needed, but we may recommend avoiding blood thinners (like aspirin or fish oil) for a few days prior to reduce bruising.

• You’ll meet with one of our expert injectors to map out a personalized plan based on your goals.

During Treatment

• The treatment takes about 30–60 minutes.

• Numbing is available for comfort, and Sculptra is typically mixed with lidocaine for a smoother experience.

After Treatment

• You may have mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising that resolves within a few days.

• Follow the “5-5-5 rule”: Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to help evenly distribute the product and encourage collagen stimulation.

• Results build gradually over 4–6 weeks, with full improvement seen after a series of treatments.

How many sessions do I need?

Most patients see optimal results with a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Your injector will recommend the ideal number based on your age, skin condition, and goals.

How long do results last?

One of the biggest benefits of Sculptra? The results can last up to 2 years or more, making it a fantastic investment in your skin’s long-term health and appearance.
