Rebuild Collagen for
Lasting Skin Support
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that gradually restores facial volume and softens lines by encouraging your natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works over time to rebuild the skin’s structural foundation for results that look natural and last up to two years. It’s commonly used to treat areas like the cheeks, temples, jawline, and nasolabial folds. At Melamed Weight & Wellness, every Sculptra treatment is performed by a physician to ensure beautifully subtle facial rejuvenation.
Sculptra Treats:
- Loss of facial volume in cheeks and temples
- Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Sagging skin along the jawline
- Hollow areas around the eyes
- Overall skin laxity and thinning
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible compound that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Once injected beneath the skin, PLLA triggers a controlled inflammatory response, encouraging fibroblasts to produce new collagen over several weeks.
This gradual regeneration helps thicken the skin and restore volume in areas affected by aging. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra rebuilds the skin’s underlying structure for results that improve over time. At Melamed Weight & Wellness, treatments are physician-performed to ensure safe, precise, and natural-looking rejuvenation.

How is Sculptra Different From Dermal Fillers?
While dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® or Restylane® offer immediate volume by placing hyaluronic acid beneath the skin, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production. This makes Sculptra ideal if you’re looking for subtle, natural improvements that develop over time, rather than dramatic changes in just one session.
Sculptra FAQs
Is There Any Downtime After a Sculptra Treatment?
There’s minimal downtime associated with Sculptra. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these typically resolve within a few days. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately following treatment. Dr. Melamed will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your outcome.
When Will I See the Results From Sculptra?
You may notice subtle changes after your first session, but the full results typically become visible after several weeks or even a few months. That’s because Sculptra is not a volumizer in the traditional sense; it rebuilds lost collagen, which takes time. Most patients see optimal results after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
How Many Sculptra Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on the degree of volume loss and your aesthetic goals. Many patients benefit from a series of two to four treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Dr. Melamed will design a treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs and facial structure.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Sculptra results can last up to two years or longer, depending on how your body responds to the collagen stimulation. Because the improvements are gradual and build from within, they tend to look more natural and last longer than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. Maintenance sessions may be recommended every one to two years to sustain results.
