Sculptra in Denver, CO

Boost Collagen, Smooth Wrinkles, and Restore Volume

At Skin! Medical Aesthetics, we’re all about solutions that work with your body’s natural processes to deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results. Sculptra® is one of our favorite treatments for rejuvenating your face and neck. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra stimulates your own collagen production, helping to restore volume, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture over time.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable treatment made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This unique formula works beneath the skin to rebuild lost collagen—a key protein that gives skin its structure and elasticity. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra doesn’t just fill in lines temporarily; it works gradually to create a foundation of healthy skin. One of the most amazing aspects of Sculptra is the quality and longevity of its results. Since the rejuvenation process is progressive, the aesthetic improvements appear gradually. This is perfect for clients seeking discreet and natural-looking transformation. The full effects of Sculptra typically become visible within a few months after the initial treatment, with results that can last up to two years or more.

Your Sculptra Experience at Skin! Denver

At Skin! Medical Aesthetics, we take a personalized approach to every treatment. When you visit us for Sculptra in Denver, your journey will include:

Consultation: We’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan.
Treatment: Our expert injectors use advanced techniques to ensure your results are safe and undetectable. We also combine this treatment with other collagen stimulation procedures such as RF microneedling and laser therapy to SUPER charge your results.
Aftercare: Sculptra has little downtime, but you need to do your home care massaging to ensure optimal results. We provide you with the tool for a successful treatment.

Post Care Instructions

To ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of side effects, it’s important to follow these post- treatment care instructions:

Massage: Follow the "5-5-5 Rule"—massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. Use gentle but firm pressure with clean hands or a soothing moisturizer. This step helps distribute the product evenly and minimizes the risk of nodule formation.
Ice: Apply a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a soft cloth to the treated areas for 10- 15 minutes every few hours on the day of your treatment to reduce swelling and discomfort. Avoid applying ice directly to the skin.
Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from heavy exercise, saunas, or excessive heat exposure for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment to minimize swelling.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support collagen production and overall skin health.
Protect Your Skin: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to shield your skin from sun exposure, which can interfere with healing and collagen development.

These steps are essential for achieving the best possible outcome and ensuring a smooth recovery. Our team is always here to answer any questions or concerns you may have!

FAQs

How long does it take to see results from Sculptra?

Sculptra works gradually, so most clients notice improvement within 8-12 weeks as their body begins producing new collagen. Full results can take up to 3-6 months.

How many Sculptra treatments will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and the areas being treated. We recommend one vial per decade for each patient. For example a patient between 30-40 years of age receive 3 vials of Sculptra throughout the year, with one vial per year as maintenance. Depending on your age, skin quality, and goals we will make specific tailored recommendations for you.

How long do the results last?

Sculptra results can last up to two years or more, with maintenance treatments helping to prolong the benefits.

Is there any downtime with Sculptra?

Sculptra requires little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days.

Is Sculptra safe?

Yes! Sculptra is FDA-approved and has a proven track record for safety and effectiveness. It’s made from biocompatible materials that naturally break down in the body over time.

Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely! Sculptra pairs beautifully with other treatments like microneedling, neuromodulators, and lasers to create a comprehensive anti-aging plan tailored to your needs.

Who should avoid Sculptra?

Sculptra is not recommended for individuals with cancer, autoimmune conditions, active infections, patient’s on blood thinners, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Our team will assess your health history during your consultation to ensure this treatment is right for you.

What are some possible side effects of Sculptra?

While Sculptra is generally safe, some individuals may experience side effects.

The most common include injection site reactions such as redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising, which typically resolve within a few days.
A rare but notable side effect is the formation of inflammatory granulomas or nodules under the skin. Studies report the incidence of such granulomas ranges from as low as 0.1% to as high as 44%, with variations attributed to factors like injection technique and product preparation. To minimize this risk, we recommend the “5-5-5” massage technique: massaging the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days post-treatment. However, even with proper massage, nodules can still develop. If they do, treatments such as saline dilution under ultrasound guidance can be effective.
