Uniquely You

Sculptra at Elixir Aesthetics in Tampa, FL.

Sculptra is an excellent option for clients who are invested in their long-term aesthetic goals. This FDA-approved PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) biostimulator works by stimulating your body to produce more collagen in the skin over several months, leading to a naturally smoother, more volumized, and lifted appearance. Unlike dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually to restore your skin's inner structure, revealing a more youthful version of your own face. Schedule your Tampa Sculptra consultation and experience naturally glowing, long-lasting results for yourself.

Science Like Magic

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that is injected deep below the skin to stimulate long-lasting collagen production from the foundational layers. This gradual collagen regeneration leads to progressive tightening, smoothing, and volumization of the face and body, with results that can last two years or more.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate but temporary results, Sculptra works with your body's natural processes to rebuild collagen over time. The treatment requires a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, with results gradually appearing over several months and lasting up to 2+ years with periodic maintenance. This makes Sculptra ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural-looking improvements that develop progressively.

A Foundation that Lasts

What can Sculptra do?

Sculptra provides your body with the stimulation it needs to rebuild collagen and keep your skin vibrant and healthy.

Typically, Sculptra is employed for global volume restoration and facial contouring, addressing age-related volume loss. Because it works gradually over time and produces subtle long-term improvement, Sculptra is ideal for clients who desire a very natural approach to the aging process. Treatments can be performed on both the face and body. Sculptra is commonly used in facial areas such as temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jawline. Sculptra can also be used in a variety of body areas such as chest, abdomen, arms, buttocks, and knees to provide subtle volume and improve texture and skin laxity.

Safe and Reliable

Sculptra Consultation

At Elixir Aesthetics, we know that every patient is unique. What works for one person may not work for others, which is why we offer personalized treatment plans curated for your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, we will discuss your anatomical needs, educate you regarding the Sculptra treatment process, timeline for results, and set realistic expectations of expected outcomes.

Simple and Rewarding

Sculptra Preparation and Procedure

Please arrive at your treatment without makeup. A topical numbing ointment may be applied prior to treatment to reduce minor discomfort. After the treatment area is cleaned, your provider will meticulously administer the Sculptra product to the treatment areas with either a thin needle or micro-cannula, and the area is massaged to ensure even distribution of the PLLA microspheres.

Worth The Wait

Sculptra Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

Your provider will educate you on how to care for the area post-treatment. In order to disperse the product effectively, you will be instructed to massage the treatment area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days (the "Rule of 5s"). Your first massage will be performed in-office by our trained professionals.

Immediately after your Sculptra injections, you will see transient volumization of the area. It may take several days to weeks for your body to resorb the water carrier mixed with the PLLA microspheres and return to baseline. Several weeks later, once your body has had time to respond to the collagen production signal, the treated areas will gradually show signs of natural re-volumization. Makeup can be applied within several hours and most clients feel comfortable resuming social activities that day. Avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. Although recovery is typically rapid, you may experience bruising, swelling, and minor discomfort after the procedure.

Maintaining your Sculptra results

The saying is true… good things take time. Sculptra treatments take several weeks to months for full effect to gradually develop, with optimal results typically visible around 3-4 months after treatment. Usually, a series of 2-3 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal improvement. Depending on your treatment area, age, and variety of lifestyle factors, Sculptra results can last 2 years or more. Periodic maintenance treatments are recommended to continue stimulating collagen production as the natural aging process takes place.

SculptraFrequently Asked Questions

Sculptra is ideal for clients who are interested in gradual, long-term, natural collagen production and volume restoration. Because it can be used for both preventive and corrective purposes, most clients can benefit from Sculptra treatment in some form. Individuals of advanced age may require more sessions for successful results due to inherent decline of natural collagen production with the normal aging process.

Clients with a lot of excess lax skin or uncontrolled autoimmune conditions may be better suited for other MedSpa procedures. At Elixir Aesthetics we pride ourselves on natural results and realistic expectations in a safe environment. If you will be better served via another procedure, we are here to guide you to what will give you optimal results.
