Sculptra® is an advanced injectable treatment designed to gradually restore volume, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and support firmer, smoother-looking skin. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra® works by helping stimulate your body’s natural collagen production for subtle, long-lasting results that develop over time.
At Lombardo Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Maria Lombardo offers Sculptra® for patients who want a refreshed, natural-looking improvement without surgery. Treatment can be customized for facial rejuvenation as well as select areas of the body where skin texture, crepiness, or volume loss may be a concern.
What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is made with poly-L-lactic acid, also known as PLLA, a biocompatible ingredient that helps support collagen renewal beneath the skin. As we age, the natural support structures that give the skin firmness and shape begin to change. Collagen decreases, elasticity and moisture decline, and facial fat loss can contribute to a hollow or tired appearance.
Sculptra® is designed to address the underlying causes of age-related volume loss by encouraging the skin to rebuild collagen gradually. Because results develop over several weeks, the improvement is typically subtle, balanced, and natural-looking.
How Sculptra® Works
Traditional dermal fillers are often used to immediately soften lines, wrinkles, and folds. Sculptra® works differently. After injection, it helps stimulate the growth of your own natural collagen to replenish lost support and improve the appearance of treated areas over time.
Patients commonly begin to notice improvement within several weeks, with continued refinement as collagen production increases. Many patients enjoy results that may last up to two years, depending on the treatment area, number of sessions, and individual response.

Can Sculptra® Help Crepey-Looking Skin?
Many people associate aging with gravity and time, but a major factor is the gradual loss of volume and collagen that supports the skin. Starting around age 30, collagen loss can reduce elasticity and moisture, while volume changes can make the skin look thinner or crepe-like.
Sculptra® may help improve this concern by stimulating collagen and restoring support beneath the skin. In addition to facial rejuvenation, Sculptra® can be used on the chest or décolleté to help re-volumize creases and create a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. It may also be considered for the arms in appropriate candidates who are concerned about crepey texture or collagen loss.
