Sculptra®: Not Your Ordinary Filler

Woman closes her eyes, relaxing peacefully during Sculptra® injections Sculptra® is often mentioned alongside other dermal fillers like Restylane®. But, while technically classified as a dermal filler, Sculptra deserves its own conversation because it’s more about collagen stimulation than instant volume increase.

At Big Life Integrative Health in Lone Tree, CO, our team prioritizes personalized care with longer appointments, same-day scheduling, advanced diagnostics, and 24/7 provider access. We focus on optimizing your health so you can look and feel your best. For many, looking great is a big part of feeling great. Sculptra may be the solution to help you do so.

Understanding Sculptra

Sculptra isn’t just a filler—it’s a collagen stimulator that’s been FDA-approved for 25-plus years. It contains poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that triggers your body’s natural collagen production.

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, which immediately add volume and break down over time, Sculptra’s results develop gradually. We offer immediate-volume fillers (Restylane) at Big Life Integrative Health, too, but our team feels it’s important for patients to have options regarding their aesthetic care.

So, Sculptra could be for you if you want gradual volume-building.

How Sculptra Works

When injected, Sculptra stimulates an inflammatory response that helps your body make new collagen fibers. Collagen is crucial for skin volume and structure. This process helps restore lost volume and improve skin structure from within.

After an injection, the Sculptra causes an immediate reaction, causing a temporary volume increase. This dissipates over the coming days or weeks. However, that’s when the collagen-building process starts.

Your new collagen attaches to the poly-L-lactic acid particles, building a supportive framework beneath your skin. By the time the poly-L-lactic acid particles dissolve, your new collagen has already taken its place.

Patients typically begin seeing noticeable improvements within four to six weeks. However, since the body builds collagen at its own pace, some patients may not see full results for several months.

Treatment Areas For Sculptra

Sculptra treats volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, jawline, and chin. It smooths deep folds, softens wrinkles, and improves overall skin quality as well.

Sculptra Longevity

Because your own collagen may last longer than traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra can last as long as two years (sometimes longer!) Most patients need a full course of treatments to get optimal results and longevity. We typically schedule two or three treatments several weeks or a month apart.
