IS SCULPTRA RIGHT FOR YOU?
OVERVIEW
An injectable biostimulator that helps stimulate your body’s natural collagen production to gradually restore volume, improve skin firmness, and soften facial aging.
Sculptra is a unique injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume, improve skin firmness, and support a more youthful-looking appearance by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which provide immediate volume by physically filling targeted areas, Sculptra works gradually beneath the skin to help rebuild collagen over time. Collagen is an important structural protein that helps keep the skin firm, smooth, hydrated, and resilient. As collagen production naturally decreases with age, patients may begin to notice facial volume loss, softer contours, skin laxity, fine lines, and deeper facial wrinkles.
Sculptra helps address these concerns by activating the skin’s natural regenerative process. As new collagen develops, the treated areas can appear fuller, smoother, and more refreshed, with results that continue to improve over several weeks to months. This makes Sculptra an excellent option for men and women who want gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation rather than an instant or overfilled appearance. It can be especially helpful for improving facial fat loss, softening hollow areas, restoring youthful facial contours, and enhancing overall skin quality.
At Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Houston, Sculptra treatments are customized to each patient’s facial anatomy, aging pattern, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Bachilo carefully evaluates areas of volume loss, skin texture, and facial balance to create a personalized treatment plan. The goal is to restore what time has taken away while preserving your natural features, helping you look refreshed, balanced, and confident without looking overdone.

SCULPTRA ADVANTAGES
The Sculptra Aesthetic gel has a thicker and more viscous consistency than most other dermal fillers, which makes is especially useful in certain specific applications. It also contains lidocaine, a pain-relieving substance, which makes the application comfortable and painless.
Poly-l-lactic acid triggers long-lasting natural collagen production that continues for several months, causing skin firmness and volume to gradually improve consistently for up to two years, producing results that appear gradually and subtly but end up making a dramatic difference. Its thick consistency means that Sculptra treatment results are much longer-lasting than those of other injectable treatments.
BENEFITS
Sculptra Aesthetic’s unique formula makes it especially effective at improving such conditions as flattened or sunken cheeks, adding volume and fullness to bony or undefined cheekbones.
Sculptra Aesthetic also fills in and smooths nasolabial folds or parentheses lines extending from the edges of the nose to the lip corners, and vertical fine lines extending down from the corners of the mouth, known as marionette lines. Sculptra also increases facial volume in the chin area, adding definition and firmness to the chin and jaw area, firming sagging skin, and tightening up jowls.
Sculptra is also effective at treating other facial areas, such as the temples, and can be used on various parts of the body to restore volume, firmness, and definition. Many patients choose to combine Sculptra with other dermal fillers or procedures to produce a more dramatic makeover.

Find Out if You Are a Good Candidate for Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra Aesthetic is FDA-approved for use by any healthy adult to enhance volume and definition but is particularly useful for older individuals to treat deep lines and creases, loss of volume and elasticity, and sagging skin. Sculptra treatments may not be recommended for you if you have allergies to lidocaine, or if during pregnancy and lactation. Sculptra Aesthetic may not be recommended for individuals afflicted with such conditions as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and certain other autoimmune diseases.
Gradual, Long-Term Results
Enhancements appear gradually and continuously for a period of several weeks after the initial treatment, as new collagen production nourishes thirsty skin cells and encourages the development of firm, healthy skin; however, Sculptra Aesthetic will keep your skin looking younger, smoother, and firmer for up to 2 years in most cases.
