Sculptra Aesthetic is intended for the correction of facial wrinkles and folds, from subtle lines to deeper creases. When administered by a trained professional employing proper injection techniques, it is clinically approved to improve the following areas:

• Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), also called “smile lines”
• Lines framing the mouth (marionette lines)
• Chin wrinkles

Most patients achieve the best outcomes with approximately three sessions administered over several months. The precise number of injections per session depends on the degree of correction required and the individualized plan formulated together with your specialist.

Sculptra Aesthetic provides results that gradually become visible and can persist for more than two years. It is important to understand that immediate improvements are unlikely. A few days after your procedure, your face may look similar to how it did before treatment, which is a normal and temporary phenomenon.

On average, patients complete three treatment sessions over a period of several months to achieve the full effect of Sculptra Aesthetic. Gradual improvement allows for subtle but noticeable reduction of facial lines and folds, as seen in before-and-after photos taken over the course of treatment.

Individual responses and session requirements may differ. The clinical trial ended at 25 months. The safety and effectiveness of Sculptra Aesthetic have only been formally studied for nasolabial folds and wrinkles, and its use in other areas has not been evaluated.

Assuming your recovery is proceeding normally without any complications, you may generally apply makeup within several hours of receiving treatment. It is essential to consult your healthcare provider for guidance tailored to your needs.

Sculptra Aesthetic is FDA-approved in the United States and has been used internationally since 1999. Its main ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, is a synthetic material gradually absorbed by the body, and it has long been used safely in dissolvable sutures.

Since Sculptra contains no components from animals or humans, patients do not need allergy testing prior to treatment.

Side effects may include redness, pain, tenderness, bruising, swelling, lumps, itching, and minor bleeding at the injection site. Occasionally, small bumps under the skin may be noticeable, and in some instances, larger lumps with or without inflammation have been reported.

The duration and type of side effects can differ among patients. Anyone experiencing unusual or persistent symptoms should speak with their physician.

In Los Gatos, CA, only licensed professionals who have successfully completed Sculptra Aesthetic training can administer treatments. This group includes physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and other qualified personnel.

Galderma’s extensive training program emphasizes the importance of proper injection techniques and attentive aftercare to ensure the safest and most effective results for Los Gatos patients.

Training sessions are led by experienced Sculptra Aesthetic providers from across the nation, giving dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and facial plastic surgeons valuable hands-on experience.

The program undergoes continuous review and improvement to keep up with the growing number of trained specialists. Los Gatos patients benefit from highly skilled professionals committed to achieving optimal outcomes.

Patients can usually return to their daily schedules right after treatment. It is common to experience temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the treatment site, which generally diminishes within a short period.
