How Sculptra Works
Sculptra is an injectable filler made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable substance. When injected into the skin, it stimulates the production of new collagen. This key structural protein helps maintain the skin’s elasticity and firmness. Unlike other fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually, improving results over several months. This approach provides a natural enhancement that refreshes your appearance without looking overdone.

Consultation
During your consultation at Luna Plastic Surgery, Dr. Yugueros will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. Dr. Yugueros will explain the procedure, what to expect, and answer any questions you may have. Your treatment plan will be designed for your needs to achieve the best possible results.
The Procedure
The Sculptra procedure is straightforward and typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. After cleansing the treatment area, Dr. Yugueros will administer Sculptra injections at strategic points on your face. The number of injections will vary depending on your individual needs. A topical anesthetic may be used to minimize any discomfort.
Once the injections are complete, you can resume most of your normal activities immediately.
Recovery
Recovery from Sculptra injections is generally quick and easy. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. Still, these effects usually resolve within a few days. Dr. Yugueros will provide you with aftercare instructions to achieve optimal results. It is important to avoid strenuous activities and excessive sun exposure for a short period after the treatment.
Expected Results
Sculptra works gradually, with noticeable improvements becoming apparent after a few weeks. The full effect typically develops over several months as new collagen forms. The results are natural-looking and can last up to two years, giving you a refreshed and youthful appearance. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the benefits of Sculptra.
Cost
The cost of Sculptra treatment in our Atlanta practice varies depending on the extent of correction needed and the number of vials required. During your consultation, Dr. Yugueros will provide a detailed cost estimate based on your individual treatment plan. While Sculptra can be more expensive than some other fillers, its long-lasting results often make it a more economical option in the long run.
