Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that gradually restores facial volume by stimulating natural collagen production. Unlike traditional HA fillers, it contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that encourages collagen formation. At Rochester Aesthetics, we offer Sculptra in Rochester to address age-related facial volume loss, soften wrinkles, and improve facial contours. Our injectors personalize each treatment to your anatomy and goals, helping you achieve subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra Corrects:
- Age-related facial volume loss
- Hollow or sunken cheeks
- Deep nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines around the mouth
- Fine lines and wrinkles on the cheeks
- Loss of facial fullness and definition
- Facial skin laxity associated with collagen loss
- Uneven facial contours
- Loss of volume in the temples
- Buttock volume and contour concerns
How it Works
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable polymer that stimulates collagen production through a controlled response. When injected into the dermis, PLLA microparticles activate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen.
As your body breaks down these particles, new collagen fibers form around the treatment areas, helping restore structural support and facial volume. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra produces gradual improvements as collagen develops over several weeks and months following treatment.
Augment your buttocks with Sculptra
A Sculptra butt lift is a nonsurgical approach to enhancing buttock volume and contour using PLLA injections. When injected into targeted areas, PLLA triggers a controlled healing response that encourages collagen-producing cells to build new structural support. Over several months, this collagen development may create a fuller, rounder appearance without implants. Buttock enhancement is an off-label use, and results vary depending on individual anatomy.

- Long-lasting results that may persist for up to two years
- Addresses collagen loss rather than simply adding volume
- Nonsurgical alternative to certain facial rejuvenation procedures

Your Sculptra journey
Procedure
Your Sculptra treatment begins with an assessment of your facial anatomy, volume loss, and goals. Your injector cleanses the treatment area and may use a topical anesthetic for comfort. Using a fine needle or cannula, they carefully administer Sculptra into targeted tissues. Your session typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, followed by a massage to distribute the product.
Recovery
You may experience temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness after Sculptra, typically improving within several days. You can usually resume daily activities immediately, although you should avoid strenuous exercise initially. Your injector may recommend massaging treated areas for five minutes, five times daily, for five days to ensure optimal results.
Results
You may notice gradual improvements within several weeks, with fuller results developing over 3 to 6 months as collagen builds. Sculptra results can last up to two years or longer, depending on your individual response. You’ll typically need 2 to 3 initial sessions, spaced several weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance treatments to preserve your desired appearance.
