Sculptra® Treatments in Pinecrest, FL
Sculptra® Treatments
Facial volume and structural support can change over time due to aging, weight loss, and other factors. Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable used in aesthetic medicine to support the body’s natural collagen production, leading to gradual improvements in facial volume and skin quality.
At R&R Skin and Aesthetics in Pinecrest, Florida, Sculptra® treatments are individualized based on facial anatomy, tissue characteristics, and patient goals. Because results develop progressively, treatment is typically planned as a series, with changes appearing over time rather than immediately after injection. Individual results vary.
What Is a Sculptra® Treatment?
Sculptra® is an injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that works differently from traditional fillers. Rather than adding immediate volume, Sculptra® is placed beneath the skin to stimulate the body’s own collagen production over time.
As collagen gradually rebuilds, improvements in facial volume, facial wrinkles, and overall skin quality may become noticeable over several weeks to months. This gradual collagen-based response is what distinguishes Sculptra® from hyaluronic acid fillers, which primarily add immediate volume without stimulating collagen production, and from Radiesse®, which may provide immediate structural support while also supporting collagen and elastin stimulation.
Treatment planning, number of sessions, and placement are individualized based on anatomy and clinical assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sculptra® and how does it work?
How is Sculptra® different from hyaluronic acid fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume immediately and do not stimulate collagen production. Results from hyaluronic acid fillers typically last around six to twelve months, depending on the product used, treatment area, and individual factors.
Sculptra® does not provide instant volume. Instead, it works gradually by encouraging the body’s natural collagen production, with results developing over time. With an appropriate treatment series and maintenance, Sculptra® results may last up to two years in some patients. Individual response varies.
How is Sculptra® different from Radiesse®?
How long do Sculptra® results last?
With a recommended treatment series and maintenance, results may last up to two years in some patients. Individual response varies.
How many Sculptra® sessions are needed?
A series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is commonly recommended. On average three sessions are recommended, though the total number depends on facial anatomy, degree of volume or collagen loss, and individual treatment goals.
What is recovery like after Sculptra®?
Most patients experience minimal downtime. Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur and typically resolves within two weeks.
