Sculptra at Holistique Med Spa & Wellness Center helps restore lost facial volume gradually, so results look like a rested, refreshed version of you. Treatment is planned and performed by Derick McConnell, FNP-BC.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Instead of filling a line all at once, it stimulates your skin to build its own collagen over time. Many patients notice their results developing over the next few months and enjoy them for up to two years.
Pricing
Sculptra starts at $850 per vial. Your total depends on how many vials and sessions your plan needs, and we’ll confirm your price at your free consultation before treatment. See all pricing.
Your consultation
Derick will look at your facial structure, talk through the changes you’d like to see, and review your history, medications and any previous filler. If you’d like a more immediate change in one area, he may suggest pairing Sculptra with a hyaluronic-acid filler such as Revanesse.
How to prepare
- If your doctor agrees, skip aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and alcohol for a few days beforehand to reduce bruising.
- Let us know about any recent dental work, vaccines or illness.
- Plan your sessions a few months ahead of a big event, since results build gradually.
What to expect: downtime and aftercare
Downtime: minimal. You may have mild swelling, tenderness or a small bruise for a few days. The initial swelling fades within a day or two, and your collagen-building results appear gradually over the following weeks.
- Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. We’ll show you how.
- Use a cold compress for the first day to ease swelling.
- Skip strenuous workouts and alcohol for 24 hours.
Good to know: serious side effects are rare. Call us right away at 770-531-0998 if you notice increasing pain, skin that turns pale or dusky, a firm lump that doesn’t settle, or any change in your vision.
Frequently asked questions
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients need two or three sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart. Derick will recommend a plan for your goals.
Are results immediate?
Sculptra works gradually. You’ll see your results build over a few months as your skin makes new collagen, which is why they look so natural.
How long do results last?
Many patients enjoy their results for up to two years.
Can Sculptra be dissolved?
No. Unlike hyaluronic-acid fillers, Sculptra can’t be dissolved with an enzyme, so we plan your treatment carefully and build results gradually.
