Conveniently located to serve Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, and Apex

Sculptra® is designed to gradually and naturally restore the contours of the face, specifically targeting moderate to severe lines and wrinkles like deep nasolabial folds, parentheses lines, and marionette lines. At Thrive Skin + Wellness in Holly Springs, NC, Sculptra® injections are performed by our highly trained and experienced aesthetic injectors under the supervision of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Peter Kreymerman.

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is a type of dermal filler. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which work immediately upon injection to fill in lines, wrinkles, and folds, Sculptra® is made from PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid). PLLA stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production over time, reinforcing its inner structure and increasing facial volume lost to aging. 

PLLA is a biodegradable substance that has been proven safe and used in medical products, including dissolvable sutures, for over 30 years. It is a vegan option, containing no animal byproducts or human DNA.

Am I a Good Candidate for Sculptra®?

The best candidates for Sculptra® are individuals over 18 who want to improve moderate to severe lines and wrinkles without surgery. Sculptra® is highly recommended for those who are allergic to other formulas made with animal byproducts.

Clients with a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring may experience complications from Sculptra®. It is also not safe for women who are currently pregnant, lactating, or breastfeeding.

Your Sculptra® Consultation

You’ll be asked about your skin concerns, goals, and complete medical history during your initial consultation. Once it’s determined that you are eligible for the treatment, you will be given an overview of Sculptra®’s benefits. The target injection sites will be discussed to help you visualize the possible results. Feel free to ask questions to help you prepare for your Sculptra® appointment.

What Happens During a Sculptra® Session?

The typical treatment regimen for Sculptra® Aesthetic consists of three injections over three to four months. First, each treatment area is cleansed and a topical numbing agent may be applied for your comfort. We’ll then make a series of injections as required to obtain your desired results. A Sculptra® appointment usually takes less than an hour.

Sculptra® Aftercare

There is no particular recovery time necessary after a Sculptra® treatment. Avoid touching the injection sites. Put off activities that cause sweating, like exercise, hot showers, and saunas. You may briefly experience mild swelling and bruising, which can be managed with a cold compress.

When Can I Expect to See Results?

Results appear gradually over a period of a few months and are long-lasting (more than two years). In contrast, HA fillers last until the HA is absorbed by the body (typically 6 to 12 months after injection).

Sculptra® FAQs

Will Sculptra® make my face look puffy or overfilled?

No, Sculptra® works gradually by stimulating collagen production, so it doesn’t cause an unnatural or overfilled appearance. Since results develop over time, adjustments can be made as needed.

How soon after Sculptra® treatments can I wear makeup?

You should wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation or infection at the injection sites. Be sure to use clean brushes or applicators when applying makeup.
