Sculptra Injections Asheville, NC

Sculptra is a unique injectable treatment that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production rather than just adding immediate volume like traditional fillers. It contains poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that works gradually over several months to rebuild collagen in your skin. This makes it ideal for restoring overall facial volume loss and improving skin texture and thickness over time.

Sculptra results can last up to 2 years or longer, making it one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available. Because it works by stimulating your own collagen production, the results develop gradually over 3 to 6 months and tend to look very natural. Most patients need a series of 2 to 3 treatment sessions spaced about 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

Each Sculptra session takes about 30 to 45 minutes. You’ll typically need 2 to 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Results are not immediate since Sculptra works by stimulating collagen growth. You may notice some initial swelling, but the real improvements become visible over 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Your provider will massage the treated areas after injection, and you’ll need to massage the areas at home for several days following treatment.

Sculptra is FDA-approved for treating facial wrinkles and folds, but it’s particularly effective for overall facial volume restoration. Common treatment areas include the temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jawline. It’s especially good for patients experiencing age-related volume loss throughout the face rather than just specific wrinkles. Some providers also use Sculptra off-label for areas like the neck, chest, and hands to improve skin quality and thickness.
