At beyond|Aesthetics, we offer a wide range of treatments to help our patients reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Sculptra is an injectable collagen stimulator that has become especially popular with our patients from the Camarillo and Ventura, CA areas.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra, an advanced injectable solution, is renowned for effectively targeting areas such as overall saggy skin, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. Approved by the FDA for addressing cheek wrinkles and fine lines, Sculptra stands out in its approach to enhancing natural collagen production in the skin. This results in a gradual yet noticeable rejuvenation of facial volume. Unlike immediate-result fillers, Sculptra offers a more understated transformation that unfolds over time with several treatments. The key ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, fortifies the skin’s structure, thereby reducing wrinkles and enhancing facial contours for a refreshed, youthful look.1
How Sculptra Works
At the core of Sculptra’s effectiveness is its remarkable ability to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. By bolstering the body’s natural collagen, Sculptra tackles the fundamental causes of facial aging. This progressive collagen enhancement not only fills out the skin but also improves sagging and texture, resulting in a naturally youthful appearance that can persist for two years or more.2

Sculptra treatments offer a multitude of benefits:

Preparing for Sculptra
Before your Sculptra treatment, you’ll attend a consultation with one of our expert injectors, who will assess your skin and ask about your cosmetic goals. You’ll learn more about the benefits of Sculptra and other dermal fillers, so you can decide together on the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
The Sculptra Treatment
Our expert practitioners carefully and precisely inject Sculptra using a very fine needle to strategically enhance and restore volume. The Sculptra treatment is fast, typically taking less than 30 minutes, and our patients report minimal discomfort.
Sculptra Recovery & Results
Post-treatment, some patients may notice temporary swelling or bruising, but these symptoms typically fade quickly. With minimal recovery time needed, you can return to daily activities soon after your Sculptra treatment. Over the following weeks, as collagen production increases, you will observe a steady improvement in skin texture and firmness, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
