Sculptra is a powerful non-surgical option for patients looking to restore facial volume and achieve gradual, long-lasting rejuvenation. At his Miami practice, Dr. Ary Krau offers Sculptra to help patients address age-related volume loss with a treatment that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. With extensive experience in facial aesthetics, he customizes each treatment plan to create natural-looking, balanced results.
What Sculptra Can Improve
Sculptra is ideal for patients who want subtle, progressive enhancement rather than instant volume. It works particularly well in areas where collagen depletion has caused sagging or hollowing over time. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, temples, jawline, and deeper facial folds. By providing structural support beneath the skin, Sculptra helps smooth wrinkles, restore youthful contours, and improve overall skin tone and firmness.
Unlike traditional fillers that add volume directly to the treatment area, Sculptra encourages collagen growth, gradually thickening and strengthening the skin. This makes it an effective choice for overall facial rejuvenation rather than spot correction alone.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medical applications for decades. Once injected, it begins to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin. This process takes place gradually, allowing results to develop over several weeks. Most patients receive a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart to achieve full correction.
The number of sessions needed depends on your age, degree of volume loss, and goals. Many patients appreciate the subtlety of Sculptra, since improvements appear naturally over time, rather than all at once.
Sculptra Treatment Details
A typical Sculptra session is a brief appointment. After assessing the treatment areas, Dr. Krau injects the product using precise techniques designed to ensure even distribution and a natural outcome. Discomfort is minimal, and a topical numbing option is available for those who prefer it.
Patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness immediately after treatment. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. Because Sculptra does not produce instant volume, the treated areas may look unchanged initially as the collagen-building process begins.
Sculptra Recovery and Results
There is little to no downtime after a Sculptra treatment. Patients can return to normal activities right away, but should avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. It is recommended to massage the treatment areas as instructed to help the product integrate smoothly.
Results become noticeable gradually as collagen production increases. Many patients see improvements within a few weeks, with full results appearing after the completion of the treatment series. These results can last up to two years or longer, making Sculptra one of the longest-lasting injectable options.
