Sculptra® Filler in Edina & Bloomington

Do you desire a more refreshed, youthful look? At Skin Rejuvenation Clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we have an amazing solution! Sculptra “tightens” the face and can target fine lines around the mouth and chin and reduce deep creases around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds).

With this noninvasive bio-stimulating treatment, our highly skilled practitioners will ensure you achieve optimal results and enhance your skin’s natural beauty.

Sculptra is an FDA-approved synthetic facial injectable made of synthetic poly-lactic acid that helps your body stimulate and gradually replace lost collagen, providing a foundation to restore fullness and fill in wrinkles around the mouth and nose.

Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works beneath the surface to help rebuild and strengthen your skin’s framework, delivering results that look natural and last longer. Whether you’re hoping to soften fine lines or achieve an overall rejuvenated appearance, Sculptra adapts to your unique facial contours for a subtly enhanced glow. Discover a treatment that helps you turn back the clock while celebrating your natural beauty.

Sculptra® Overview 

It targets the underlying cause of aging, which is collagen deficiency, and works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and restore your skin’s inner structure and volume.

Collagen is an amino acid naturally produced by the body, which makes the skin suppler, firmer, and more resilient.

As collagen is stimulated, the skin begins to regain its fullness, diminishing wrinkles and creases. Results are subtle yet noticeable and are achieved through a series of treatments.

Unlike quick-fix fillers, Sculptra® takes a more natural and holistic approach to skin revitalization, gradually enhancing your appearance over time. The slow, steady improvement helps you achieve a refreshed look that doesn’t appear artificial or overdone—perfect for those who want discreet, long-lasting results. With proper care and maintenance, the effects of Sculptra® can last up to two years, offering a balanced solution for addressing the signs of aging gracefully.

Choosing Sculptra

Sculptra specifically tackles the underlying issue of aging by addressing collagen loss. Collagen, a protein naturally present in your body, contributes to skin elasticity, firmness, and resilience. Sculptra works within the deep layers of your skin to not only restore youthful fullness but also improve overall skin health over time. The results? A subtle yet noticeable transformation was achieved through just a few sessions. Sculptra isn’t just a treatment—it’s an investment in long-term skin vitality.

Sculptra vs. Similar Procedures

Sculptra differs fundamentally from traditional dermal fillers. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which create volume by attracting moisture to the treated areas, Sculptra enhances skin by thickening its foundational layers through collagen stimulation. While hyaluronic fillers provide an immediate and noticeable improvement, Sculptra’s results develop gradually, offering lasting benefits that enhance your skin’s texture and elasticity over time. This long-term approach makes Sculptra an excellent choice for those seeking durable and natural results.

Sculptra® or Dermal Fillers?

Sculptra works in a different way than hyaluronic acid fillers do; while Sculptra thickens the skin to make it more elastic, hyaluronic acid fillers attract moisture to the area that is being treated to create more volume.

The initial improvement is not as pronounced as would be experienced with a hyaluronic acid filler since the effect is more gradual with Sculptra.

Step 3: Treatment

We will initiate the treatment by using an antibacterial/antifungal face wash to make sure the region being treated is sterilized and free from bacteria. We may then use a topical anesthetic to numb the area, or alternatively, ice can be applied to add extra comfort. For the injections, we use cannulas whenever possible.

Cannulas are similar to needles but are rounded at the front to reduce discomfort, bruising, and swelling, and decrease the chances of developing an intravascular infection. Using cannulas requires special expertise, which we have, to achieve optimal results.

Treatment Details

What it Treats

Sculptra injections can be applied to a variety of locations on the face, including marionette lines, wrinkles around the chin, and laugh lines. It is also utilized to refine the jawline and bring back volume to sunken cheeks or temples.

This treatment is meant to fill out hollow areas of the face and diminish wrinkles. However, it is not suggested to use Sculptra underneath the eyes or on the lips.

Beyond its aesthetic benefits, Sculptra is particularly favored for its ability to stimulate collagen production over time, leading to a more youthful and natural appearance. This collagen boost not only helps maintain results longer than some other injectable treatments but also improves overall skin texture and elasticity. Many individuals appreciate how Sculptra offers gradual, subtle enhancements, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a refreshed look without dramatic or obvious changes.

Benefits

Sculptra is an injectable dermal facial filler that works to give your face a softer, more youthful, and natural look. It reduces wrinkles, lines, and furrows around the lips, eyes, mouth, neck, cheeks, and chin.

When injected, it works to stimulate your own collagen production, filling in any indentations, folds, or wrinkles in the skin and giving you possibly as much as 80% improvement in the target area.

Furthermore, you don’t need to take time off from your everyday activities, and the changes to your appearance will be subtle and gradual, so no one will be aware that you had a procedure done.

These benefits make Sculptra a popular choice for individuals seeking long-term, natural-looking skin rejuvenation without the downtime associated with surgical procedures. The treatment’s ability to stimulate collagen ensures that results improve over time, delivering a more youthful appearance in a way that feels uniquely yours. Many patients also appreciate how Sculptra blends seamlessly into their lifestyles, offering a minimally invasive solution with striking but understated outcomes. Whether addressing smile lines, marionette lines, or general signs of aging, Sculptra provides a compelling option for enhancing facial aesthetics.

Paired Treatments

Pairing these treatments ensures a comprehensive approach that addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously. For instance, combining a treatment like Botox or Dysport for reducing fine lines with Halo Laser to smooth skin texture can target signs of aging more effectively. Similarly, a Moxi laser session combined with Forever Young BBL photorejuvenation offers a powerful duo for achieving a brighter and more youthful look without extensive downtime. By working together, these treatments help amplify results, catering to the unique needs of each individual and delivering a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.

What To Expect During Sculptra®

During your Sculptra treatment, a trained professional will inject the product into targeted areas of your skin. The procedure typically takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied before the procedure. While you may feel a slight pinch or pressure, the experience is generally well-tolerated by most patients. Your specialist will use a fine needle or cannula to carefully inject Sculptra, stimulating collagen production over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Will I See The Results Of The Procedure?

The procedure results will not be noticed immediately, as in hyaluronic acid fillers. As Sculptra encourages the body to make its own collagen, the results take some time to become apparent, and it can take up to 6 weeks.

When Can I Go Back To Work?

There is no downtime with Sculptra. Since Sculptra is a nonsurgical, noninvasive procedure, you can return to work the same day; right after treatment. You can also resume regular activities.

What Are The Potential Side Effects?

Sculptra treatment requires no downtime and the side effects are usually minimal. You may experience minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, but these should quickly vanish. To acquire the greatest outcome, you should massage your face several times a day following your injection.

Is The Treatment Painful?

By utilizing our unique methods, most people feel comfortable or experience very minimal discomfort. Applying anesthetic to the area renders the procedure pain-free with little to no discomfort.

How Long Do Sculptra® Fillers Last?

In most cases, the effects of Sculptra fillers last as long as two years. It does usually take a few weeks to visually see full results since your body is continuing to produce collagen.

Can The Fillers Be Reversed?

We take pride in making sure that the best aesthetic results are achieved and that our patients are fully satisfied and informed. Sculptra cannot be reversed like fillers made from a hyaluronic acid can.

Can Different Fillers Be Used In The Same Location?

Different fillers are perfectly safe to use in the same location. This is sometimes recommended in order to achieve the best outcomes.

How much does it cost?

Price varies depending on the areas being treated and the number of injections and sessions required for optimal results.

What areas of the face and body can Sculptra treat?

Sculptra is versatile and can address volume loss and skin laxity in various areas, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, and even certain body regions like the décolletage. 

How many Sculptra treatments are typically needed for optimal results?

Most patients see optimal results after 2-3 treatment sessions spread over a few months. Your provider will create a custom plan based on your individual goals and needs.

Can Sculptra help with skin laxity and volume loss?

Absolutely! Sculptra stimulates collagen production to gradually restore lost volume and improve skin laxity, giving you a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance over time. 

Are there any activities I should avoid immediately after a Sculptra treatment?

To ensure the best results, avoid rigorous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for at least 24 hours after your treatment. Follow your provider’s specific aftercare instructions. 

What are the long-term benefits of choosing Sculptra over traditional fillers?

Unlike traditional fillers Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production for results that can last up to two years. It supports natural rejuvenation for a more sustainable, youthful appearance.
