Sculptra in Cincinnati, OH

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that works beneath your skin to encourage natural collagen production. This differs from hyaluronic acid fillers which plump up wrinkles and lines by pushing up the dermis layer of skin.

Sculptra doesn’t provide immediate results like hyaluronic acid fillers do, but the effects are long-lasting. The PLLA microspheres absorb into your tissues and begin producing collagen fibers which continue to develop over time for gradual improvements.

Sculptra has been FDA-approved since 1999 and is safe when performed by a trained specialist. After a Sculptra BBL, some patients may experience minor bruising, itching, or swelling that usually resolves in a few days. Gently massaging the area for about a week can ease symptoms and enhance results.

Made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible synthetic material, Sculptra is gradually absorbed while stimulating new collagen. Most patients need a series of 2–4 treatments to restore volume and achieve a more youthful appearance.

Who Should Avoid It
Sculptra is not recommended for patients with hypertrophic scarring, autoimmune disorders, or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Depending on your body’s response to Sculptra, its effects may last up to two or more years. But in order to keep them maintained, you may require annual top-up treatments once per year.

On average, Sculptra Butt Lift results last two years or more, though some patients choose additional treatments to maintain their look.

Before the procedure, an in-person consultation is required. Your provider will review your body type, contour, medical history, and aesthetic goals to create a tailored plan.

After treatment, massage is recommended at least five times a day. This ensures the Sculptra particles distribute evenly for the best results.

The initial session uses six to ten vials of Sculptra. The procedure is minimally invasive, takes 30–60 minutes, and uses local anesthetics for comfort.

Unlike other injectables, Sculptra is generally safe and has few adverse reactions. Patients may experience slight swelling or tenderness at the injection sites after treatment, but these symptoms usually dissipate within a week.

Before your treatment, your provider may inject a small amount of local anaesthetic into the Sculptra vial to make the procedure more comfortable. Any procedure involving a needle or cannula can cause bruising. After your treatment, you are instructed to massage the treated areas five times daily for 5 minutes, for five days.

The water in Sculptra creates an initial plumpness that fades within a few days as the water is absorbed, leaving features unchanged until collagen production begins.

Because Sculptra is a biostimulator, it works differently than hyaluronic acid fillers. Instead of providing immediate volume, it stimulates your body’s natural collagen, with volume building gradually over time.

Sculptra is commonly used to treat facial volume loss, improving temple hollowness, skin laxity, and softening fine lines and wrinkles.

It restores volume around the cheeks, temples, and jawline, while Sculptra BBL can lift, volumize, and sculpt the buttocks.

Subcutaneous injections smooth fine lines like crow’s feet and smile lines, restoring volume and lifting sagging skin for more defined, balanced features.

Some people have reported developing lumps beneath the skin after being treated with Sculptra. These growths, known as granulomas, can be treated by injecting saline into the granuloma to break it up.

However, if these lumps are not visible but feel hard when touched, it’s fine to leave them alone.

Sculptra is ideal for those wanting natural results. Collagen production takes about 3–4 months after a series of injections, creating gradual, longer-lasting effects compared to other injectables.

Before treatment, our providers review your medical history and create a personalized plan, which may include a skin exam, treatment goals, and discussion of potential side effects.

To minimize discomfort, your provider may use ice or local anesthetic, then mark the areas to be injected with the Sculptra solution.

The procedure is straightforward and takes less than 60 minutes. Because Sculptra requires precision, choosing an experienced injector is essential for safe, effective results.

Depending on how many treatments you require, costs for Sculptra may range anywhere from $749.00 to $2,800 per session. Before making a decision about whether this treatment is right for you, be sure to discuss your goals with both a Livio Med Spa expert.

On average, patients will see significant and long-lasting improvements after 2-3 sessions of treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Please be aware that it may take up to six months for your body to fully regenerate its own collagen after having undergone these procedures.
