Sculptra Injections in Las Vegas, NV
Sometimes the skin simply needs more support in the form of collagen. As collagen production naturally slows with age, the skin can begin to lose structure, appearing thinner and less resilient than it once was. By carefully restoring collagen in the right places, the face can regain a smoother surface and a more refreshed, youthful look without drastic changes.
With Sculptra treatments, we use an injectable that works gradually to stimulate your body’s natural collagen. This treatment can freshen the face, restore subtle fullness, and even be used in areas like the temples, cheeks, or buttocks for added volume. At Simply Radiant in Las Vegas, NV, we provide this minimally invasive option that fits easily into a patient’s routine.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable treatment that gradually restores volume and improves facial structure by stimulating your own collagen production. It works with your body to rebuild support from within, creating a more natural look that develops gradually. The treatment uses poly-L-lactic acid, a substance that has been used in medicine for years and is absorbed by the body as new collagen forms. Because the results develop progressively, changes are more subtle and balanced compared to other volumizing options.
How Does Sculptra Work?
When we inject Sculptra, the poly-L-lactic acid acts as a biostimulator, prompting your body to create new collagen around the treated areas. Collagen growth gradually builds a stronger framework under the skin for a smoother and firmer appearance. Your treatments will be spaced a few weeks apart so the collagen can develop between sessions and provide more even, lasting results.
What Sculptra Can Treat
- Nasolabial Folds: These lines go from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth and can deepen as collagen decreases with age. Sculptra is one of the best treatments for deep wrinkles and gradually rebuilds structure beneath the folds, which allows the skin to look smoother and less creased.
- Cheeks: Full, rounded cheeks are often a sign of youth, but they tend to flatten as collagen production slows. By stimulating new collagen in this area, Sculptra restores volume and provides better support for the surrounding skin.
- Jawline: As the jawline loses definition, the lower face can take on a heavier or sagging appearance. Sculptra creates more structure and definition for a jawline that looks sharper and more youthful.
- Buttocks: When used in the buttocks, the treatment is often called a Sculptra butt lift or Sculptra BBL. By stimulating collagen in the tissue, the area gains subtle volume and a rounder, lifted shape. We also offer Sculptra hip dips treatments that fill in the inward curves at the sides of the hips.
The Sculptra Treatment Process
Consultation and Preparation
First, we evaluate your facial structure and skin thickness, and look at the areas that would benefit most from collagen stimulation. During this discussion, we also review your medical history and treatment goals so that we can make sure this treatment is right for you. On the day of treatment, we clean your skin and apply a numbing solution for comfort. We may also map out the injection sites to make the treatment process smoother.
Sculptra Injections
The poly-L-lactic acid particles are suspended in a sterile water solution, which lets us inject the product more evenly throughout the area. We use a tiny needle to introduce the product into different points on your face or buttocks. Because the product is diluted with water, the treated areas may look fuller right away, but this volume decreases as the fluid is absorbed, leaving behind the material that stimulates new collagen growth.
Session Timeline
Most treatment plans involve a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to encourage gradual collagen development. The exact number of sessions depends on the degree of volume loss and the areas being treated, but two to three appointments are common. Each session usually takes less than an hour, and the progressive schedule helps create results that look balanced and natural as the collagen increases in stages.
Aftercare
We recommend massaging the treated areas for a few minutes several times a day during the first week. Massaging helps distribute the product evenly and supports smooth collagen growth. You may notice temporary swelling, redness, or small bruises at the injection sites, but these usually fade within a few days. You can return to your normal schedule right away, but avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, or alcohol in the first 24 hours can help minimize swelling. You should also protect your skin from sun exposure for the best long-term outcome.
Combining Sculptra With Other Treatments
- Plasma-Sculpt: When Sculptra is paired with platelet-rich fibrin, often called PRF, the treatment is called Plasma-Sculpt. PRF supplies growth factors that help stimulate cell renewal, while Sculptra acts as a collagen stimulator, so together they create a stronger and longer-lasting improvement in skin texture and volume.
- Fillers: Traditional fillers provide immediate volume by directly filling lines or hollows, which makes them a useful complement to Sculptra filler treatments. While Sculptra builds collagen gradually for lasting support, fillers can fine-tune specific areas for instant correction.
- PDO Threads: PDO threads lift and tighten the skin mechanically, creating an instant improvement in sagging areas. When combined with Sculptra, the threads provide a non-surgical facelift while the collagen stimulator reinforces the structure underneath, helping the effects look smoother and last longer.
- Neuromodulators: Injectables such as Botox® and Dysport® relax facial muscles that create dynamic wrinkles, like frown lines or crow’s feet. Combining them with Sculptra allows the neuromodulator to soften lines caused by movement, while the collagen stimulator strengthens the skin’s framework to improve areas of volume loss.
FAQs About Sculptra
How Much Does Sculptra Cost?
The cost of Sculptra injections varies depending on how much product is needed and how many sessions are recommended for the treatment plan. Some patients only want a small amount for targeted areas, while others may need several vials to address more widespread volume loss. We will talk to you about the cost during your consultation so you know what to expect.
How Long Does Sculptra Last?
Sculptra does not work like traditional fillers that show an instant effect, but instead creates results that develop gradually as collagen builds. Once the desired level of improvement is achieved, the results often remain visible for up to two years, sometimes longer, depending on individual response and lifestyle factors.
When Will I See My Sculptra Results?
Results start to appear within a few weeks as the new collagen begins to form in the treated areas. The changes build with each session. Most patients notice a refreshed appearance after the second or third session, which is why treatment plans are typically scheduled in a series.
