As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, leading to facial volume loss, wrinkles, and sagging skin. It can be emotionally challenging to see these visible aging signs and dislike the way they’ve altered your appearance. Many people no longer feel like themselves when signs of aging are apparent. At 4Beauty Medspa in Miami, we offer Sculptra®, an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, restoring youthful fullness and smoothing signs of aging. If you're looking for a subtle, long-lasting solution to facial aging without surgery, Sculptra® may be the ideal treatment for you.

What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an innovative injectable treatment that utilizes poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance, to restore lost facial volume gradually. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra® works by stimulating collagen production within your skin, providing natural-looking, long-term rejuvenation.
Am I a Candidate for Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is ideal for individuals seeking a non-surgical option to address volume loss and signs of facial aging. You may be an excellent candidate if you:
- Have facial volume loss or hollowing in the cheeks or mid face
- Desire a gradual, natural-looking improvement
- Want a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime
- Are looking for long-lasting rejuvenation
- Seek to improve skin texture and firmness through enhanced collagen production
During your consultation, our expert providers will evaluate your skin and aesthetic goals to determine if Sculptra® is right for you.
Benefits of Sculptra® Injections
Sculptra® offers numerous advantages, including:
- Gradual, natural-looking facial volume restoration
- Enhanced collagen production for healthier skin texture
- Long-lasting results (up to two years or longer)
- Minimally invasive procedure with no significant downtime
- Improved overall skin firmness and elasticity
- Reduced appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds
How Sculptra® Works and What It Treats
Sculptra® works by stimulating your skin’s collagen production. After injection, the PLLA particles trigger a natural response, encouraging the formation of new collagen fibers. This creates a gradual, natural-looking increase in facial volume and firmness.
Sculptra® effectively addresses:
- Loss of volume in the cheeks and the mid face region
- Deep facial wrinkles, folds, and creases
- Marionette lines and smile lines
- Hollowed or gaunt facial appearance
- Sagging skin due to age-related collagen loss
- Overall improvement in skin texture and elasticity
How Are Sculptra® Treatments Performed?
Pre-Treatment
You’ll be instructed to come to your appointment makeup-free with a clean face. Prior to your Sculptra® injections, our providers will prep your selected treatment areas by cleansing the skin and applying a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic to enhance your comfort during the procedure.
During Treatment
Sculptra® is carefully injected into targeted facial areas using fine needles. The treatment typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
Post-Treatment
Immediately following your injections, you might experience minor redness, swelling, or tenderness, which generally resolves within a few days. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results, which may include massaging treated areas to ensure even distribution of the product.
What Is Recovery Like After Sculptra®?
Recovery from Sculptra® treatments is minimal. Most patients experience:
- Mild swelling, tenderness, redness, and itching, which typically lasts a few days
- Ability to return to normal activities shortly after treatment
- Minor bruising, which resolves quickly
It’s essential to massage the treated areas as directed by your provider and avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and alcohol consumption for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.
When Will I See My Results From Sculptra®?
Sculptra® results appear gradually as new collagen develops. Typically, noticeable improvements emerge within four to six weeks after the first treatment, with continued enhancement over several months. Most patients achieve optimal outcomes with a series of two to three sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart. Results from Sculptra® can last up to two years or more, depending on individual factors and ongoing maintenance.
What Procedures Can Be Combined With Sculptra®?
For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Sculptra® can be combined effectively with other aesthetic treatments, such as:
- BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® for smoothing dynamic wrinkles
- Hyaluronic acid-based fillers for targeted volume enhancement in areas other than the cheeks
- Skin tightening procedures, such as Morpheus8, for additional firmness
- Laser resurfacing for improved skin texture and tone
- Medical-grade skincare products for enhanced skin health and longevity of results
Our experienced providers will customize a treatment plan tailored to your unique aesthetic goals. You can discuss the possibility of combining treatments during your consultation.
