Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid. Instead of filling in lines and wrinkles instantly, it works gradually beneath the surface of your skin to stimulate collagen production. As time passes, Sculptra helps rebuild your skin’s structure, restore lost volume, and soften deep folds or hollow areas.

Sculptra
The Power of Gradual Change
Fullness That Feels Natural
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that works below the surface of the skin to gradually restore volume and boost your body’s natural collagen production.
Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant volume with hyaluronic acid, Sculptura uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)—a biodegradable compound that helps rebuild your skin’s internal structure over time.
We offer Sculptra at DeeTox for patients seeking long-term, collagen-based rejuvenation.

Where Confidence Begins
Take the first step toward feeling more like you—refreshed, radiant, and confident in your skin.
Traditional fillers, like ones made from hyaluronic acid, provide immediate volume by placing product directly beneath the skin. Sculptra, on the other hand, works by stimulating your body to produce its own collagen. This creates more gradual and long-lasting results with firmer skin over time.
It’s especially great for patients looking for subtle, low-maintenance outcomes with a natural look and extended longevity.
We often use Sculptra to restore volume in the following areas:
- Cheeks
- Temples
- Jawline
- Chin
Sculptra is especially effective for softening smile lines and contouring areas with age-related volume loss. In some cases, we also use it to improve skin texture in the buttocks.
During your Sculptra session, you may feel light pressure or a mild pinch as your provider places the injections. Most patients describe the experience as very tolerable. The treatment typically takes about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
There is no downtime, though you may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site for a few days. Most patients can return to their daily routine immediately.
Yes! Many patients combine Sculptra with other treatments like Radiesse, microneedling, or customized clinical facials. Because Sculptra works gradually, it pairs well with treatments that offer more immediate results. Your provider will help you build a personalized plan based on your goals.
Sculptra works best for individuals experiencing volume loss or looking for subtle, long-term rejuvenation. It’s a great option if you want gradual results that develop over time. If you’re seeking instant volume, we’ll help you determine whether Sculptra is right for you during your consultation.
To get optimal results from treatment, we recommend the following:
- Avoid strenuous activity, heat, and alcohol for 24 hours after.
- Massage the treated area for 5 minutes 5 times a day for 5 days to ensure even product distribution.
Your provider will review post-care instructions with you before you leave.
