Restore, Replenish, Rejuvenate – Natural Volume That Lasts
Aging isn’t just about wrinkles—it’s about collagen loss, the foundation of firm, youthful skin. Sculptra is a biostimulator that restores volume by jumpstarting natural collagen production, delivering gradual, long-lasting results that can last over two years. At Luxe Medical Aesthetics in Katy, TX, we use Sculptra to enhance facial contours and smooth skin over time for a naturally refreshed look. If you’re looking to lift, contour, and rejuvenate your skin with lasting results, Sculptra is the game-changer you’ve been waiting for.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve overall skin quality. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate plumpness, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production—the protein responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
Sculptra’s poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) formula promotes long-term collagen renewal, offering results that develop over time and last up to two years or more. This makes it an excellent choice for those looking for a natural, subtle transformation rather than an instant fix.
What Can Sculptra Treat?
Sculptra is highly versatile and can address a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:
Wrinkles and Fine Lines – Smooths deep-set wrinkles like nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and chin wrinkles by replenishing lost collagen.
Hollow or Sunken Areas – Restores volume in hollow cheeks, temples, and under-eyes for a naturally fuller, youthful look.
Facial Contouring – Enhances cheek definition, strengthens a weak chin, and refines the jawline for improved facial balance.
Jowls and Sagging Skin – Lifts and tightens loose skin along the jawline and lower face to reduce sagging and restore definition.
Skin Rejuvenation & Collagen Renewal – Stimulates collagen production to improve elasticity, refine texture, and create smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
Skin Texture & Quality Enhancement – Refines skin texture, boosts elasticity, and improves overall quality for a smoother, firmer, and more radiant appearance.
How Facials Work
Sculptra works differently than traditional dermal fillers. Instead of simply adding volume, it triggers your body’s natural collagen production to gradually restore structure and smooth out wrinkles over time. The key ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that helps build your own natural volume.
Once injected, Sculptra’s microparticles are absorbed by the skin, kickstarting the collagen regeneration process. Over several weeks, the treatment area becomes firmer, plumper, and more youthful-looking, with improvements continuing over time.
Benefits of Sculptra
Long-Lasting Results
Unlike traditional fillers that fade within months, Sculptra’s collagen-boosting effects last up to two years or more with proper aftercare.
Natural-Looking Enhancement
Because results develop gradually, you won’t walk out looking like a different person. Instead, your skin will appear naturally refreshed and youthful.
Collagen Stimulation
Rather than just filling lines, Sculptra rebuilds your skin’s internal structure, restoring lost volume from within.
Minimal Downtime
With quick injections and minimal side effects, Sculptra lets you get back to your day with little to no interruption.
Versatile & Customizable
Sculptra can be tailored to target multiple areas, whether you want to restore cheeks, refine your jawline, or smooth deep folds.
Safe & FDA-Approved
Sculptra has undergone extensive clinical testing and is a safe, well-tolerated option for facial rejuvenation.
Sculptra Treatment Process: What To Expect
Before Your Treatment
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation at Luxe Medical Aesthetics. Our expert providers will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and design a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. You’ll also receive pre-treatment instructions, such as avoiding blood-thinning medications to minimize bruising.
During Your Treatment
Sculptra is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle. The session typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and is well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only minimal discomfort. The treatment does not provide immediate volume—instead, it kickstarts collagen renewal, with results developing gradually over the following weeks.
After Your Treatment
Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites is normal and usually resolves within a few days. You’ll be advised to massage the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five days to help distribute the product evenly. There’s no significant downtime, so you can resume normal activities right away—just avoid excessive sun exposure.
Results Timeline
Sculptra works over time, with noticeable improvements appearing within a few weeks. The full effects are typically visible after three to four months, as collagen production increases. With optimal treatment and maintenance, results can last up to two years or more.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sculptra?

FAQ
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of 2-3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal collagen stimulation and volume restoration.
Is Sculptra safe?
Yes! Sculptra is FDA-approved and has been extensively tested for facial rejuvenation. It is made of biodegradable poly-L-lactic acid, which naturally breaks down over time.
Does Sculptra hurt?
