Renew, Restore, and Rebuild With Sculptra Treatment in San Diego

Sculptra is a next-generation injectable that helps your skin gradually restore lost volume and structure by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that deliver immediate results, Sculptra works over time to strengthen and volumize the skin for a soft, youthful appearance that can last up to two years or more.

At Coastal Plastic Surgeons’ Medspa, we offer personalized Sculptra treatment in San Diego to help patients achieve smoother contours, improved elasticity, and long-lasting radiance—naturally. Schedule your consultation today to discover how Sculptra can help you age beautifully and confidently.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that has been safely used in medical applications for decades.

Instead of simply filling lines or wrinkles, Sculptra works differently—it stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production to gradually restore volume and improve texture from within.

As collagen levels decline with age, skin begins to lose its firmness, elasticity, and youthful structure. Sculptra replenishes these foundational proteins, resulting in subtle, progressive improvement that looks natural and lasts longer than traditional fillers. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking rejuvenation that unfolds over time—offering a refreshed, balanced appearance without looking “overfilled” or artificial.

Benefits of Sculptra

Sculptra offers a unique approach to facial rejuvenation by rebuilding the skin’s underlying structure rather than masking aging signs superficially.

  • Stimulates Collagen Production: Encourages natural collagen growth for lasting volume and firmness.
  • Restores Facial Volume: Gently fills hollow or sunken areas for balanced, youthful contours.
  • Improves Skin Texture: Enhances smoothness and elasticity for a healthy, radiant finish.
  • Provides Gradual, Natural Results: Changes occur subtly over time, avoiding an overdone look.
  • Long-Lasting Outcomes: Results can last up to two years or longer with proper maintenance.
  • Non-Surgical and Low-Downtime: Quick office treatment with minimal recovery required.
  • Versatile Applications: Ideal for the cheeks, temples, jawline, and other areas of volume loss.
  • Boosts Confidence: Helps patients look refreshed and rejuvenated while maintaining authenticity.

How Sculptra Works

Sculptra’s key ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, is a collagen stimulator—not a traditional filler. Once injected beneath the skin, PLLA microparticles gradually dissolve, triggering your body’s natural healing response and prompting collagen synthesis.

This process rebuilds the skin’s internal support structure, replenishing volume and improving elasticity over several weeks.

The results appear gradually, making the transformation natural and discreet.

Because collagen takes time to rebuild, most patients undergo a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. The final outcome is a smoother, firmer complexion that continues to improve over time, with results that can last for years.

Common Treatment Areas

Sculptra can address multiple areas of facial aging and volume loss, restoring youthful contours and a lifted appearance.

  • Cheeks – Rebuilds fullness and lift for a more youthful midface.
  • Temples – Fills hollow areas to restore balance and soften sharp contours.
  • Jawline – Defines and tightens the lower face for improved structure.
  • Nasolabial Folds – Softens deep smile lines and restores a smoother transition between the cheeks and mouth.
  • Marionette Lines – Reduces creases that run from the mouth to the chin.
  • Chin – Adds subtle projection and improves definition.
  • Pre-Auricular (Side of Face) – Smooths hollowness for a youthful contour.

Some patients also use Sculptra to enhance skin texture and tone in areas like the neck, décolletage, and even the buttocks (as part of a non-surgical “Sculptra butt lift”).

What to Expect During Treatment

Sculptra injections are performed in our Medspa and take about 30–45 minutes per session.

  • Preparation – The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
  • Injection – Using a fine needle or cannula, your provider administers Sculptra in small amounts to the targeted areas.
  • Massage – The treated areas are gently massaged to evenly distribute the product and promote smooth results.
  • Aftercare – You’ll receive instructions for home care, including massaging the treated areas several times a day for the first week.

Because Sculptra works gradually, most patients benefit from a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.

Recovery and Results

Recovery after Sculptra treatment is minimal, making it a convenient option for patients with busy lifestyles. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, which usually resolves within a few days.

Timeline of Results:

  • Immediately After Treatment: Mild swelling provides a temporary “preview” of results.
  • 1–2 Weeks: Swelling subsides, and natural collagen production begins.
  • 6–12 Weeks: Gradual improvement in volume, firmness, and texture becomes visible.
  • 3–6 Months: Full results appear as collagen continues to build.

Results from Sculptra can last up to two years or longer, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and maintenance schedule.

Combining Sculptra With Other Treatments

  • BOTOX® – Smooths dynamic wrinkles while Sculptra restores lost structure.
  • Dermal Fillers – Adds immediate enhancement while Sculptra builds long-term collagen.
  • Morpheus8 or Microneedling – Boosts skin texture, elasticity, and firmness.
  • Laser Treatments – Improves pigmentation and tone for a smoother complexion.

Your provider will help design a treatment plan that enhances your results and aligns with your aesthetic goals.
