Special
Sculptra
By spurring collagen production, this dermal filler works to repair the underlying scaffolding of the face, which offers a host of cosmetic benefits. Once this dermal filler has done its work, the added fullness in the face eases the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds.
Bony areas like the cheekbones, which sometimes develop more prominence as the skin thins with age, are softened. This filler can also plump up areas of the face that can become shallow over time, such as the temple.
Be restoring some of those youthful contours and thickening skin that has begun to thin, this injectable can broadly improve the face. In fact, this filler is sometimes referred to as a liquid facelift because of the non-invasive lifting and revitalizing it offers.
Considering Sculptra for enhancement? Here are some factors to consider:
- Do you wish to enhance the contours of your body?
- Are you looking to reduce noticeable lines around areas such as the buttocks and hips?
- Are you in good health and considering non-surgical options for body enhancement?
- Do you have realistic expectations for improving these features?
If you responded positively to these inquiries, Sculptra dermal fillers might be a suitable option for you! However, consulting with a medical professional is recommended for personalized guidance.
Procedure at BBH

With fine needles, we carefully inject the optimal amount of filler into specific areas around your target areas.

We work closely with you to craft a customized treatment plan that aligns with your preferences and aesthetic objectives.
Natural Results
Most patients receive a series of four Sculptra Injections over a period of several weeks. The injections are performed in different directions to create a mesh-like pattern under the skin. This means that once in place, the filler offers thorough coverage and can serve as a foundation upon which collagen can develop.
Collagen development can take some time, so it may be several months before the improvements in the face fully take hold. But the gradual onset of results gives patients results that look more natural and less over-filled. You’ll never look like you suddenly went and "had work done."
A Low-Maintenance Option
This filler involves an initial series of treatments, each of which can be performed in less than an hour and requires no downtime. Many patients even schedule these appointments during their lunch hour.
Once you’ve completed the initial series of injections, you’ll be good to go for two years, and you won’t have to worry about coming back every few months for maintenance treatments or top-offs. You won’t have to give this filler another thought.
Long-Lasting Improvement
Because this filler essentially rebuilds the underlying infrastructure of the face by generating collagen, it offers results that last much longer than most other injectables. Patients usually enjoy their results for two years or more. Even if you decide not to repeat the treatment, you’ll still come out ahead in the aging process because of the extra collagen created by that one fluid facelift.
Allergies Are Not a Concern
Many of the other fillers on the market are composed of hyaluronic acid, which retains moisture and helps the skin stay hydrated. Sculptra contains Poly-L-Lactic Acid, a substance that is used in dissolvable sutures.
This dermal filler poses no risk of an allergic reaction and does not require allergy testing, because Poly-L-Lactic Acid is synthetic. Once it’s done the job of jump-starting collagen development, the Poly-L-Lactic Acid naturally fades from the body.
It Can Even Lift Your Butt
This dermal filler is most often used to enhance the face and reverse signs of aging, but did you know this injectable can also be used to perk up the buttocks? It works in much the same way in the buttocks. After your treatment, this filler generates collagen production, which lifts and tones the derriere over a period of months.
What to Expect From Treatment
This dermal filler treatment is not all that different than any other cosmetic injection. We’ll begin by cleansing the treatment area and applying a topical numbing ointment.
The filler will be injected beneath the skin, and we’ll then massage the injection site to make sure the Poly-L-Lactic Acid is appropriately distributed for maximum results. This dermal filler also includes a local anesthetic called lidocaine, which ensures the patient’s comfort.
Recovery and outcomes after Sculptra dermal fillers for cheek enhancement
Recovery from Sculptra dermal filler injections for cheek enhancement is typically swift and straightforward, often involving minor redness or swelling that subsides within hours. There is minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your regular activities immediately afterward.
Results begin to manifest within days, reaching their optimal appearance in 1-2 weeks. As the filler settles, your cheeks will appear smoother and more defined. These enhancements typically last for several months, providing a convenient and comfortable method to rejuvenate your appearance with minimal discomfort.

What Should I Do After My Injection?

These self massages further ensure that the Poly-L-Lactic acid is fully distributed. We also recommend that patients avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for several days after their injection.

How Many Treatments Are Necessary?
It’s not unusual for a patient to undergo four treatments over a period of weeks. But because each patient has different cosmetic needs, treatment plans can vary.
When will I notice results after receiving Sculptra dermal fillers?
Results from Sculptra dermal fillers become noticeable gradually over several weeks as collagen production increases, with optimal results typically seen after a few months.
How Does This Treatment Differ From Other Dermal Fillers?
One of the key differences between a liquid facelift and the other injectable gel fillers on the market is that it focuses less on actually "filling" the face, and more on stimulating collagen production. In other words, Sculptra encourages the face to fill itself with additional collagen production.
The gradual onset of results is also something that is unique to Sculptra. Some other dermal fillers offer patients results in as soon as two weeks, although those other fillers usually don’t last more than a year.
