Sculptra in Charlotte, NC

Natural And Long-Lasting

Restoring lost volume in the face and collagen induction for up to two years is possible with a Sculptra treatment at Premier Plastic Surgery Center. Sculptra is unlike fillers in that it works with the immune system to build the patient’s own collagen. This unique product actually stimulates the body to produce collagen and elastin. By sparking this natural healing process, Sculptra patients can see ongoing, long-term improvement in volume and skin glow.

What is Sculptra?


Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic polymer that has been used in medical applications like sutures since the 1970s. Once injected, Sculptra activates the body's natural collagen production process, smoothing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and creases and enhancing hollow areas and sagging skin for remarkably natural results. Beyond facial rejuvenation, Sculptra is also utilized in non-surgical Brazilian butt lifts, known as Sculptra BBL. While often called a filler, Sculptra is actually a biostimulator due to its unique collagen-increasing effects. Many patients prefer Sculptra for its gradual and natural onset.

The Benefits of Sculptra

One of the main concerns many patients have when considering any cosmetic treatment, including fillers, is that they will look overdone or unnatural. The beauty of Sculptra is that because it stimulates the skin's natural regeneration process, the results look extremely natural, and patients enjoy a youthful glow rather than a “pillow faced” or overfilled appearance. Our Charlotte Sculptra patients see great benefits like:

  • Brighten the look of the skin for a renewed glow. Often referred to as the “Sculptra Glow”
  • Soften wrinkles and creases, including marionette lines, laugh lines, smile lines, and nasolabial folds
  • Smooth wrinkles or creases on the chin
  • Restore or enhance volume to hollow or sunken areas in the face (i.e. Temples and cheeks)

Is Sculptra right for me?

Sculptra candidates are typically individuals in good overall health with realistic expectations for results. This treatment is ideal for those seeking to restore facial volume, lessen mild to moderate signs of aging, and avoid extensive recovery time. Patients with a tendency to form keloids may need to avoid poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA).

Consultation and Preparation for Sculptra


Our team is dedicated to keeping you informed and ensuring your ultimate comfort. This begins during a consultation where we will examine your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a customized treatment plan. Prior to Sculptra treatment, patients may be asked to adjust certain medications and supplements. It is helpful for the patient to provide photos of themselves in their 20s or 30.

Your Sculptra Procedure

At the start of your Sculptra session, your provider may apply a topical numbing solution to ensure total comfort. Once the area is numbed, they will carefully inject Sculptra using very fine, medical-grade needles. Most Sculptra treatments last around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area that is being treated.

Results and Aftercare with Sculptra

Patients may see some mild redness or swelling after their Sculptra treatment, but these side effects usually resolve quickly on their own. Results will gradually be revealed over several weeks as collagen builds and repairs the skin. Patients typically report glowing, radiant skin for as long as two years.

Sculptra FAQs


While some patients do experience some mild discomfort during the procedure or tenderness afterward, this treatment is typically not considered especially painful. Topical numbing cream can be used for added comfort.

Since Sculptra is biocompatible, serious risks like allergic reactions are extremely rare. As with most injectables, minor risks and side effects could include bruising, bleeding, or swelling at the injection site.

Sculptra results are very long-lasting, and many patients see results for as long as two years. We do recommend an annual treatment to ensure results never return to baseline.

This can vary greatly depending on your specific aesthetic goals. Your provider will discuss your goals and determine what amount of Sculptra is needed.

Avoid working out and sun exposure for 24 hours after treatment. You will be instructed to massage the treated area several times a day to ensure the best outcome.

The cost of Sculptra depends on each patient's specific treatment plan and where the product will be used.
