Rebuild Your Skin's Natural Support with Sculptra
Stimulate collagen, restore structure, and improve facial volume loss with results designed to develop progressively.
Collagen gives our skin much of the strength and structure that keeps it looking firm, smooth, and supported. As natural collagen production declines with age, the effects can gradually become visible through facial volume loss, reduced firmness, deeper wrinkles, softer contours, and changes in how well the skin holds its shape.
Sculptra offers a unique, FDA-approved injectable that works beneath the surface to address foundational changes at the cellular level. Made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), this collagen biostimulator encourages your body’s natural collagen production and helps rebuild structural support within the skin.
As new collagen develops, Sculptra can gradually improve firmness, skin quality, facial contours, and areas affected by facial volume loss, with results that can last up to two years.
The Artistry of Balance: Understanding Where Collagen Can Change the Picture
The change you notice isn’t always happening where you see it. The curve of your cheek influences the line beneath it, while the support through the midface affects the shadows that fall across it. Firmness, volume, contour, and skin quality are constantly working together to create what we recognize as our own reflection.
This relationship is part of what makes Sculptra so compelling to Dr. Cohn as a cosmetic surgeon. Her passion for balance and her understanding of tissue behavior let her look beyond one isolated concern and consider what may be changing around it.
A collagen biostimulator offers an opportunity to work within those relationships, using the body’s own regenerative response as part of the treatment. That may mean rebuilding support through an area that has begun to flatten, strengthening a contour that has softened, or improving the firmness of skin that no longer behaves quite as it once did.
With Sculptra, the artistry lies in recognizing where renewed collagen can create the most meaningful shift, then allowing that change to unfold naturally across the face. At Cosmetic Surgical Arts & Med Spa, our approach is informed by more than 20 years spent studying the face, treating the changes that come with time, and refining what is possible through both surgical and non-surgical aesthetics.

Treatment Areas
Where Sculptra Can Build You Back Up
As a collagen biostimulator, Sculptra can be used across multiple areas of the face where collagen loss has changed the volume, firmness, or definition.
Cheeks + Facial Volume
Replenish flatter, less-full areas of the cheeks, restoring midface dimension and improving surrounding contours.
Smile Lines + Facial Folds
Soften nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles that have become more pronounced with facial volume loss.
Temples + Facial Balance
Restore volume to hollow or sunken temples to help frame the face, improve overall facial balance, and create a subtle lifting effect through the forehead, brows, cheeks, and jowls.
Facial Wrinkles + Skin Quality
Improve fine lines and wrinkles while supporting firmer, smoother skin as new collagen develops throughout the treated area.
Buttocks + Booty Boost
Enhance shape, volume, and contour through the booty with Sculptra, using new collagen production to create gradual, natural-looking improvement without surgery.
Neck + Skin Firmness
Improve crepey texture and fine lines through the neck, building firmer, smoother skin that blends seamlessly with a refreshed face.
Hands + Youthful Volume
Restore lost volume to the backs of the hands, softening the appearance of visible veins and tendons while improving skin quality as new collagen develops.

Collagen Biostimulators vs. Dermal Fillers
Sculptra and dermal fillers can both address facial volume loss, but they work in different ways.
Hyaluronic acid fillers place volume directly into targeted areas, making them especially useful when a feature needs immediate support, shape, or definition.
Sculptra works more gradually, stimulating collagen production throughout the treated region to rebuild support from within.
In some areas, Dr. Cohn may want the precision and immediate volume of filler. In others, rebuilding collagen with Sculptra may offer a more appropriate path. And when different concerns call for different solutions, the two can work beautifully together.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sculptra
How many Sculptra treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies based on your starting point and desired results. A typical Sculptra treatment plan includes a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, giving collagen time to develop between appointments and allowing your progress to guide subsequent treatment.
How soon will I see results from Sculptra?
Sculptra works gradually, with results appearing as your body produces new collagen. Visible improvement can begin as early as one month after treatment and continue developing in the months that follow.
How long does Sculptra last?
Results can last up to two years. Individual results vary, and your treatment plan, number of sessions, and natural response to treatment can influence longevity.
How does Sculptra stimulate collagen?
Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA). Once injected beneath the skin, its microparticles help stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. As those particles are gradually absorbed, newly produced collagen helps rebuild the skin’s internal structure.
What can I expect before and after treatment?
Your comfort is prioritized throughout your Sculptra treatment, with nitrous oxide available through the Pro-Nox system to help you feel more comfortable and relaxed during injections.
Afterward, temporary swelling, tenderness, redness, pain, bruising, bleeding, itching, or lumps may occur at the injection sites. Dr. Cohn will explain your aftercare instructions and what you can expect as the treated areas settle and your collagen response begins.
Let the Years Add to Your Story, Not Take From Your Skin
There is nothing unusual about missing some of what time has changed, whether it is the fullness you used to see in your cheeks, the way your skin once seemed to hold itself, or the ease of getting ready, stepping into a photograph, and simply feeling good about what you saw.
These details are deeply personal, and they deserve the same care and consideration as any other decision you make for yourself. Sculptra offers a thoughtful way to care for the face you have today while honoring everything that has brought you here.
We believe beauty belongs to every stage of life, including the moments when you decide to invest in the qualities that make you feel confident, vibrant, and fully yourself. When you’re ready to explore what that can look like for you, connect with our team and schedule your consultation.
