Facial Filler SCULPTRA
Not all dermal fillers and injectables are the same. Each is designed to target specific areas of the face, with varying side effects and durations of effectiveness. Sculptra injections, an FDA-approved treatment, work by gradually stimulating the production of collagen lost due to aging. Many patients enjoy the lasting effects of Sculptra for up to two years.
Rejuvenate Your Skin WITH SCULPTRA
Traditional collagen creams often claim to deliver collagen through absorption into the skin. However, this claim is misleading, as collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin’s surface, making them ineffective for addressing aging at its source. While these creams can be excellent moisturizers, they do little to restore the skin’s underlying structure.
As we age, the skin naturally loses collagen and elastin—the essential support systems that keep it firm and youthful. Sculptra injections offer a highly effective solution for combating wrinkles and frown lines. Dr. Henry Chen, MD, a renowned facial filler specialist in Beverly Hills, CA, provides treatments designed to restore a natural, youthful glow with long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Natural Collagen PRODUCTION
Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring volume and improving skin elasticity over time. It addresses the root cause of aging rather than just masking the symptoms.
FDA-Approved AND SAFE
Sculptra is FDA-approved and has a proven track record of safety and effectiveness. It’s made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable material that has been used in medical applications for decades.
Long-Lasting RESULTS
Unlike some dermal fillers, Sculptra’s effects can last up to two years or longer, as it rebuilds the skin’s structural support system. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking long-term anti-aging solutions.

Long-Lasting RESULTS
Sculptra is renowned for its long-lasting results, making it a standout choice among facial fillers. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate but temporary effects, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, addressing the root cause of volume loss and skin laxity.
This gradual process leads to results that appear natural and improve over time, with many patients noticing significant enhancements within a few months of treatment. Best of all, the effects of Sculptra can last up to two years or longer, offering a durable and effective solution for maintaining a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Regular maintenance treatments can help extend these benefits even further.
Risks / BENEFITS
As with any cosmetic treatment, Sculptra comes with a range of benefits and potential risks, making it important to weigh both to determine if it’s the right option for your aesthetic goals.
What are the main benefits of Sculptra?
Sculptra offers natural-looking, long-lasting results by stimulating your body’s collagen production. It gradually restores volume, improves skin elasticity, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Many patients enjoy results that last up to two years or longer.
Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?
Sculptra is ideal for individuals with volume loss, wrinkles, or sagging skin who want a gradual, natural-looking improvement. However, it may not be suitable for those with autoimmune conditions, allergies to any of its ingredients, or a history of keloid formation.
What are the potential risks or side effects of Sculptra?
Common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site, which typically subside within a few days. Rarely, small lumps or nodules may form under the skin, but these can often be minimized with proper injection techniques and aftercare.
How does Sculptra compare to traditional fillers?
Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate but temporary results by adding volume, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production. This leads to longer-lasting, more natural-looking results, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a subtle and enduring anti-aging solution.
What Happens During
A SCULPTRA INJECTION?
The Sculptra procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes per session, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Consultation
Before the procedure, you’ll meet with Dr. Chen to discuss your goals, medical history, and concerns. Dr. Chen will evaluate your facial structure, skin condition, and areas of volume loss to create a personalized treatment plan.
Preparation
On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned to ensure a sterile environment. A topical numbing cream or anesthetic may be applied to minimize any discomfort during the injections.
Injection
Dr. Chen will administer Sculptra into the targeted areas of the face using a fine needle or cannula. He will carefully inject the product and massage the treated areas to ensure even distribution and a smooth result.
Post-Treatment Care
After the injections, Dr. Chen will provide you with aftercare instructions. This typically includes massaging the treated areas five times a day for five days to ensure proper product integration. You’ll also be advised to avoid strenuous activities, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24-48 hours.
Follow-Up Treatments
Sculptra is a gradual treatment, so multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results. Dr. Chen will schedule follow-up sessions approximately 6 weeks apart, depending on your individual needs and treatment plan.
