Sculptra really works, and it’s worth it if you’ve seen signs of aging. It is different from most dermal fillers. It works below the surface of your skin by triggering the production of collagen for long-lasting anti-aging benefits. In other words, Sculptra works with your body to replenish the skin naturally. If you are ready to look your best, you have an array of injectables in Dallas to choose from, including Sculptra. Talk to a clinician at Dallas Dermatology Partners to find out if it is right for you.
What Is Sculptra?
A range of injectables is available to those who would like to address the signs of aging, namely, fine lines and wrinkles. The two broad categories of injectables are neuromodulators, such as Botox, and dermal fillers, like Sculptra. Within the dermal filler category, fillers may include a range of biocompatible materials. Sculptra, for example, is made of poly-L-lactic acid.
Sculptra goes beyond plumping up fine lines and wrinkles. While many people use it to correct marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and chin and cheek wrinkles, it’s also capable of the following:
- Rejuvenating the décolletage & neck
- Improving skin laxity of the knees and arms
- Tightening and contouring the jaw
- It adds lift, volume, and shape to the buttocks.
However, be sure to inform the clinician of your full medical history, including your history of allergic reactions, if any, and whether you are susceptible to hypertrophic scarring or keloid formation.
How Exactly Does Sculptra Work?
All dermal fillers help plump up the treated areas, restoring volume and a youthful appearance. However, as noted, Sculptra injectables go a step beyond.
When Sculptra is introduced beneath the skin, it triggers the production of collagen to restore the integrity of the skin’s structure. Along with elastin, collagen is a protein that plays an essential role in the health of your skin and how well it resists the effects of aging. By increasing the production of this fibrous protein, Sculptra creates long-lasting benefits for your skin.
It’s one reason we often recommend Sculptra to our patients at Dallas Dermatology Partners.

Are the Results of Sculptra Worth It?
If you’ve been noticing the signs of aging, then yes, the results of Sculptra are definitely worth it. It’s highly effective, yet unlike some interventions, the results look natural—no one will know unless you tell them!
Most patients who receive Sculptra injectables will begin noticing results within a few weeks. The treated areas will continue to show signs of improving over the next three to nine months. Remember that since it stimulates collagen production, it can take a little while to see the difference. However, you’ll enjoy the results for up to two years after your treatment, after which you can choose to have touch-ups.
