Benefits of Sculptra
Collagen Production
Think of Sculptra as a gentle reminder to your skin. It nudges your body to start creating collagen again, so beauty blooms from the inside out.
Natural-Looking
Sculptra doesn’t overpower. It enhances. The results appear gradually, giving your face a refreshed, smooth, and authentically natural-looking appearance over time.
Long Lasting
Sculptra works on your timeline—not the filler’s. Once your collagen is restored, the visible results stay with you for the long haul.
Consultation
This is your time to be heard. During your consultation, your provider will learn about your unique features, review your medical history, and discuss the look you want. You’ll be listened to and empowered to make the best choice for you.
Procedure
After prepping your skin, your provider will inject Sculptra with thoughtful precision. This isn’t a one-and-done filler. It’s a bio-stimulator that encourages your body to gradually rebuild collagen. For facial or body contouring, we place each injection strategically to trigger natural tissue regeneration without disrupting your expressions or unique structure.
Recovery
Expect subtle changes that evolve with time. After your injections, follow the 5-5-5 massage protocol to help the solution integrate smoothly. Massage your Sculptra treatment area(s) 5 times a day, for 5 minutes each time, for the 5 days after treatment.
There’s no need for downtime, and you’ll be able to go about your usual activities—just skip the sun and stay hydrated. It’s a quiet transformation with results that grow stronger week after week.

The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
Is Sculptra safe for all skin types and tones?
Sculptra is FDA-approved and considered safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. Because it works by stimulating collagen production rather than altering pigment or using laser energy, there’s minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. However, a consultation is key to determine suitability, especially if you have autoimmune conditions or a history of keloid scarring.
If you’re curious about texture or tone correction too, consider pairing your results with microneedling with PRP or a chemical peel for dark spots. During your consultation for Sculptra in Santa Monica, our team can guide you toward the safest, most effective plan for your skin.
Am I a good candidate for Sculptra?
Sculptra is ideal for those seeking gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation that lasts.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have mild-to-moderate volume loss in the face or body
- Want to smooth fine lines and improve skin texture gradually
- Are interested in nonsurgical options for buttock contouring or cellulite
- Prefer long-lasting results (up to 2 years)
- Are in good general health and not pregnant or nursing
- Are willing to follow the recommended treatment and aftercare plan
If you’re unsure whether getting Sculptra in Santa Monica or if another of our regenerative treatments fits your goals better, our team can help tailor the right approach.
