For those seeking other options, consider:

While alternatives like fillers offer instant results, Sculptra is ideal for those looking for gradual, long-lasting enhancements.

ALTERNATIVES

Enhance your Sculptra results with these complementary treatments:

  • Dysport + Botox: Smooth dynamic wrinkles and fine lines to complement Sculptra’s volumizing effects.

  • Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Add definition to specific areas, such as lips or cheeks, for a balanced, harmonious rejuvenation.

Combining Sculptra with complementary treatments ensures comprehensive, natural-looking results.

COMPLEMENTARY

Sculptra provides gradual, natural-looking results, restoring volume, improving skin elasticity, and reducing wrinkles over time. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works with your body to stimulate collagen production, delivering long-lasting enhancements that can last up to two years or more. With proper care and maintenance, you’ll enjoy a refreshed, youthful appearance that looks completely natural.

RESULTS

Recovery from Sculptra is minimal, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately:

  • First 24-48 Hours: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but typically resolves quickly. Avoid strenuous exercise, heat, and alcohol.

  • Massage: Follow your provider’s instructions to massage the treated areas for a few minutes, five times a day, for five days.

  • 1-2 Weeks: Any initial swelling will subside, and your skin will begin to feel firmer.

  • 4-6 Weeks: Collagen production kicks in, and you’ll notice gradual improvement in volume and texture.

Sculptra results typically last up to two years, with follow-up sessions recommended for maintenance.

RECOVERY

Sculptra is a quick and minimally invasive procedure performed in our Manhattan office. The session typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Here’s what to expect during the process:

  • Before Treatment: Your provider will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and mark the injection sites. A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

  • During Treatment: Sculptra is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. You may feel mild pressure or a slight pinch. The area is then massaged to evenly distribute the product.

  • After Treatment: You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, including how to massage the treated areas to ensure optimal results.

Results appear gradually over several weeks as collagen production is stimulated.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Preparing for Sculptra ensures a smooth treatment experience and optimal results. Key steps include:

  • Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or supplements like vitamin E for at least 48 hours before treatment to reduce bruising.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to promote healthy skin.

  • Clean Skin: Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment.

Your provider will guide you through the planning process and answer any questions during your consultation.

PLANNING

Sculptra may not be suitable for individuals who:

  • Have active skin infections, inflammation, or allergies to any of Sculptra’s ingredients.

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Have unrealistic expectations or need immediate results.

  • Have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring.

During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz or Nurse Heather Rypien will assess your goals and determine if Sculptra is right for you.

NOT CANDIDATES

You may be an excellent candidate for Sculptra if you:

  • Have facial volume loss, wrinkles, or skin laxity due to aging.

  • Want a gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation.

  • Are seeking a long-lasting, non-surgical treatment.

  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

Sculptra is perfect for individuals who want subtle, natural results that develop over time.

CANDIDATES

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike dermal fillers, which provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually over several months, improving skin texture, firmness, and volume for a natural, long-lasting effect.

Sculptra can address:

Hollow or sunken cheeks
Volume loss in the temples
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Chin wrinkles
Skin laxity

This treatment is ideal for patients who want gradual, subtle enhancement that improves over time.

THE PROCEDURE

Sculptra is an innovative injectable treatment designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production for long-lasting, natural-looking results. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works gradually over time, enhancing your skin’s structure and improving elasticity. Performed by Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon in NYC, and Nurse Heather Rypien, Sculptra is ideal for those seeking a subtle, non-surgical rejuvenation. Pair this treatment with Dysport + Botox or fillers for a comprehensive approach, or explore facial fat transfer for a permanent alternative.
