Sculptra Treatment (BioStimulator) in Plano, TX
Sculptra is an injectable that the FDA has approved to restore facial volume by stimulating collagen production. This innovative procedure uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to target the deep dermis, gradually rebuilding the skin’s inner structure.

The treatment is effective for various areas, including cheeks, jawline, and temples, offering a subtle and natural-looking enhancement.
This non-surgical facial rejuvenation option is ideal for individuals seeking long-lasting results without downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sculptra suits adults experiencing facial volume loss and wishing to restore a more youthful appearance. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and are in good overall health. However, Sculptra may not be recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. See a qualified provider to determine if Sculptra is right for you.
The effects of Sculptra develop gradually over time. It is common for patients to notice improvements in their appearance after 2-3 months as collagen regeneration progresses. The full effects of Sculptra typically become apparent after a series of treatments, usually 3-4 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. This gradual enhancement contributes to the natural-looking results associated with Sculptra.
Sculptra offers long-lasting results, with many patients enjoying improvements for up to two years. Nevertheless, the length of time can vary depending on the individual’s age, lifestyle, and skin condition. Touch-up treatments may be recommended every 1-2 years to maintain optimal results.
Sculptra treatments usually require minimal to no downtime. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure. It is common to experience temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising at the injection sites. This usually resolves within a few days. The most common side effects are small bumps under the skin or uneven results. Following your provider’s post-treatment instructions can minimize potential side effects.
To reduce the risk of bruising, do not take blood-thinning medications or supplements for a week prior to the procedure. After treatment, gently massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, five times daily, for five days to ensure even product distribution. Do not expose yourself to excessive sunlight or exercise strenuously for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. Stay hydrated and follow any specific instructions your Sculptra provider provides to optimize your outcome.
In Sculptra treatments, the provider will first clean treatment areas and apply topical anesthesia for comfort. Sculptra is injected using a fine needle into the targeted area using a fine needle. In general, the procedure takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treated areas. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injections, but discomfort is usually minimal. After the treatment, you can expect some initial volume from the solution, which will subside as the Sculptra begins stimulating collagen production.
