Sculptra®

in New Jersey

Sculptra® is unlike any other filler. This biostimulatory aesthetic injectable enhances facial volume and suppleness by stimulating collagen production, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

What Is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is the first FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) facial injectable that targets fine lines and wrinkles, volume loss, sagging jowls, and other signs of aging due to collagen loss. By age 20, our bodies begin to slow collagen production—the skin and tissues can start to lose their elasticity and bounce, resulting in common signs of aging. Sculptra® differentiates from other dermal injections because it works by promoting new collagen production, healing your skin from the inside out.

“I want you to know that you guys are the best. Your professionalism and compassion made may surgery a lot easier. Dr. T, your hands are magic gifts and I’m so thankful.”

What Are the Benefits of Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is made up of a safe, biocompatible synthetic material that has been used in medicine for years, most notably in absorbable sutures. Because it works by prompting natural collagen production, there is little risk of allergic reactions or rejection by the body. Other benefits of Sculptra® include:

  • Increased volume throughout the face
  • Smoother, more youthful skin
  • Plumped, hydrated skin
  • Reduced wrinkles and facial creases
  • Stimulates the natural production of collagen
  • Natural-looking results

Am I a Candidate for Sculptra®?

If you’re looking for a long-lasting, biocompatible treatment for volume loss and facial aging, Sculptra® injections might be for you. Candidates for Sculptra® should be generally in good health, have a healthy immune system, have reasonable expectations for results, and do not smoke.

To determine if this treatment is a good fit for you and develop a treatment plan tailored to your skin goals, schedule a consultation with Thompson Center for Plastic Surgery by calling (732) 410-4789.

What Are Sculptra® Injections Like?

Sculptra® injections are administered in-office and require little recovery and downtime. Your treatment will begin with a topical numbing cream, which will be applied to your skin for a few minutes to ensure comfort. Once you are fully numb, our skilled doctor will carefully inject the Sculptra® into the treatment areas. Depending on the number of treatment areas, your Sculptra® appointment can be as quick as 30 minutes.

What Is Sculptra® Recovery Like?

You’ll be able to return to regular activities immediately after your treatment. Some redness and tenderness are normal at the injection site and should dissipate shortly. You may also experience some bruising and swelling, which can be alleviated with cold compresses. Be sure to avoid putting pressure on your face and around the treatment areas for the first 48 hours.

When Will I See My Sculptra® Results?

Sculptra® is a unique treatment in that results take longer to appear as they are tied to the natural production of collagen. Collagen takes time to build up in the body, so it is usually around one month after treatment that patients start to see initial results.

As your skin heals internally, you’ll gradually see improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, hollowed cheeks, and sagging jowls. This process of continual improvement can be measured up to the sixth month.

Once your final results are visible, you can enjoy the benefits for about two years, although most patients opt for a Sculptra® touch-up about once a year.
