Does Sculptra hurt, and will it look obvious?
Will it look obvious?
There is no sudden change. Collagen develops over months, so the result is gradual. Immediately after a visit, the area looks fuller from water and swelling, which subsides within a few days.
Does Sculptra hurt?
Most people feel pressure and some pinching. The area may be tender for a few days. Ask about numbing options at your consult.
How much does Sculptra cost?
Cost depends on the amount of product and the number of visits in your plan. It is quoted at your consult.
What sets the cost of Sculptra
How Sculptra works
Sculptra is supplied as a powder that is mixed with sterile water. Immediately after a visit, the area looks fuller from the water and swelling. This resolves within days.
The lasting result comes from the collagen your skin produces in response. It develops gradually over the next few months. For this reason, Sculptra is given as a series rather than a single visit.
For volume you see the same day, see dermal fillers.

What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid. It stimulates your skin to produce collagen, the protein that keeps skin firm, so volume returns gradually over a few months. At Magic FemTouch MedSpa in Oak Lawn, treatment begins with a consultation. Most plans are a short series of visits, a few weeks apart.

Questions
Sculptra questions
How long does Sculptra last?
The manufacturer reports results lasting up to about two years after a full series. Collagen continues to change with age, so the result fades gradually. Some people schedule a single maintenance visit later.
How many Sculptra sessions will I need?
Most plans are a short series, a few weeks apart. The number depends on the degree of volume loss and how your skin responds. Your provider gives you the plan at the consult.
When will I see Sculptra results?
Immediately after a visit, the area looks fuller from the water in the mixture, which resolves within days. The lasting change develops gradually over the next few months. Plan treatment with that timeline in mind before an event.
Is Sculptra the same as filler?
No. Filler is a gel that adds volume the same day. Sculptra stimulates your skin to produce its own collagen, so the change is gradual. Your provider can advise which suits your goal.
Can Sculptra be used in the lips?
No. Sculptra is not used in the lips or directly around the eyes. For lip volume, hyaluronic acid lip filler is the standard choice.
Can Sculptra be dissolved?
No. Sculptra is not hyaluronic acid, so the enzyme used for filler does not break it down. The body absorbs it gradually instead. That is one reason the plan begins with a careful consultation.
