Rebuild your natural collagen — not just fill the gaps
Sculptra works differently than traditional fillers. Instead of injecting volume, it stimulates your body to produce its own collagen — restoring facial fullness gradually, naturally, and for two years or more.

Understanding Sculptra
Not a filler. A collagen rebuilder.
Starting in our late twenties, we lose about 1% of our collagen every year. That's why faces gradually lose fullness — temples hollow, cheeks flatten, and the jawline softens. Most people assume filler is the only answer, but there's a smarter approach.
Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that's been used safely in medicine for decades. When injected, it acts as a scaffold that triggers your body's own collagen production. Over weeks and months, your skin rebuilds from the inside out — restoring volume that looks and feels like you, not like filler.
Traditional Fillers
- Add volume instantly with gel material
- Results visible same day
- Last 6–18 months typically
- Volume is from the product itself
- Can sometimes look "done" if overfilled
Sculptra
- Stimulates your body to produce its own collagen
- Results build gradually over weeks and months
- Lasts 2+ years — often longer
- Volume is from your own natural collagen
- Looks incredibly natural because it is natural
The Process
What to expect from your Sculptra treatment
From consultation to collagen production, here's how the journey unfolds.
Consultation & Assessment
Lyndsay evaluates your facial structure, discusses your goals, and determines if Sculptra is the right approach. She'll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your anatomy.
Treatment Day
After numbing the treatment areas, Lyndsay strategically injects Sculptra into targeted areas. The appointment takes about 30–45 minutes. You can return to your day immediately.
The 5-5-5 Massage
You'll massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days after treatment. This helps distribute Sculptra evenly for smooth, natural results.
Collagen Builds Over Time
Over the following weeks and months, your body produces new collagen in the treated areas. Results continue to improve with each session and for months after your final treatment.
Results Timeline
Patience pays off — beautifully
Sculptra is not instant gratification. It's a long game with a long reward. Here's what the timeline looks like.
Day 1–3
Initial Swelling
Some volume from the injection fluid and mild swelling — this is temporary and will subside.
Week 1–2
Settling Phase
Initial swelling resolves. The treatment area may look like nothing happened yet — this is completely normal.
Week 4–6
Collagen Begins
New collagen starts forming. You may notice subtle improvements in skin quality and early volume restoration.
Month 3–6
Visible Transformation
After your complete series, full results become visible. Cheeks look lifted, temples filled, and the jawline more defined — naturally.
Year 2+
Long-Lasting Results
Your new collagen continues to provide structure and volume. Many patients maintain beautiful results for over two years.

Treatment Areas
Sculptra is incredibly versatile. It's FDA-approved for the correction of shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, and is commonly used to restore volume in these areas:
Temples
One of the first areas to hollow with age. Sculptra restores a smooth, youthful contour.
Cheeks & Midface
Rebuilds the fullness that gives your face its youthful "apple" shape — without the overfilled look.
Jawline & Chin
Adds definition and structure to the lower face for a more sculpted profile.
Overall Volume Loss
For faces that have thinned generally over time, Sculptra restores an overall healthy, refreshed fullness.
