Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment designed to gradually restore facial volume and improve overall skin firmness. At The Andochick Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Frederick, MD, Dr. Scott Andochick offers personalized Sculptra treatments for individuals seeking subtle, long-lasting facial rejuvenation. This approach enhances the skin’s structure from within for results that look natural and evolve over time.
What Sculptra May Improve
As natural collagen decreases with age, the face may appear flatter, less firm, or more hollow in certain areas. Sculptra may help:
- Restore volume to the cheeks and midface
- Improve overall facial contours
- Reduce the appearance of deep folds
- Support a firmer, smoother look
- Enhance skin quality through collagen stimulation
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works gradually, making it ideal for individuals who prefer subtle, progressive improvement.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sculptra?
Sculptra may be an option for individuals who:
- Want long-lasting volume restoration
- Prefer a gradual, natural-looking result
- Have experienced facial volume loss due to aging
- Want to improve skin firmness and structure
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations
During a consultation, Dr. Andochick evaluates facial anatomy, skin quality, and overall goals to determine whether Sculptra—or another filler—may be the best choice.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that stimulates collagen production in the deep layers of the skin. As collagen increases over time, the treated areas gradually become fuller and more lifted.
Treatment typically includes:
- A personalized assessment of the facial structure
- Mapping of injection points for balanced enhancement
- Precise placement of Sculptra using small injections
- Gentle massage of treated areas to ensure even distribution
A series of treatments may be recommended based on the degree of volume loss and aesthetic goals. Most patients undergo two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Sculptra Recovery and Results
Sculptra requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to routine activities shortly after treatment. Mild redness, tenderness, or swelling may occur but typically fades quickly.
General expectations include:
- Following simple aftercare instructions, including gentle massage
- Returning to daily activities the same day
- Noticing gradual improvement in volume and firmness
- Seeing ongoing refinement as collagen develops over several months
Results may last more than a year—and often longer—depending on the number of treatment sessions and the individual’s natural collagen response.
Combining Sculptra With Other Treatments
Sculptra can be paired with dermal fillers, Botox or Dysport, or skin-rejuvenation treatments for more comprehensive facial enhancement. Dr. Andochick helps patients create a plan that supports overall facial harmony and natural-looking improvement.
