Aging and other factors can lead to the loss of facial volume, resulting in hollows, creases, flattening, and drooping. At our practice in Doylestown, PA, we offer Sculptra—a long-lasting, nonsurgical solution to these concerns—for women and men in Greater Philadelphia. This innovative injectable treatment stimulates collagen production, delivering dramatic and natural-looking results lasting up to 2 years.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid-based biostimulator that works to:

  • Restore lost facial volume, particularly in the cheeks.
  • Smooth lines, hollows, and deep folds, such as nasolabial folds.
  • Stimulate natural collagen production for long-term skin health and rejuvenation.

Sculptra addresses visible signs of aging and enhances the skin’s structure from within, delivering results that continue to improve over time.

What Are the Benefits of Sculptra?

Patients choose Sculptra for its numerous advantages, including:

  • Long-lasting results: Effects can last up to two years with proper treatment
  • Collagen stimulation: Enhances skin’s texture and firmness
  • Minimally invasive: No surgery or significant downtime required
  • Versatile application: Treats hollow cheeks, chin wrinkles, marionette lines, and more

Unlike fillers such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, results from Sculptra develop subtly over time.

Who Is a Candidate for Sculptra?

Sculptra is ideal for men and women who:

  • Experience age-related volume loss in the mid-face
  • Want to reduce the appearance of creases, folds, and hollows
  • Prefer a nonsurgical option for facial rejuvenation
  • Seek a treatment that offers gradual, long-lasting improvements

During your consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will evaluate your concerns and create a personalized treatment plan to meet your aesthetic goals.

What To Expect After Sculptra

After your Sculptra treatment:

  • Recovery: Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
  • Care instructions: Avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous activities for the first 24 hours.
  • Results timeline: Results may be visible as soon as one month after treatment, but full results develop over several months as collagen production increases.

Apply a cold compress to the injection sites to encourage healing. Avoid UV exposure as much as possible after your appointment, and always use sun protection. Many patients see improvements right after their Sculptra treatment, with final results developing after a few months.

Sculptra FAQ 

Are Sculptra injections safe?

Sculptra is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has been used worldwide safely since 1999. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, but some patients experience slight pain, bruising, redness, and swelling. In some cases, a bump may develop when too much pressure is applied to the injection site. Please contact us if you experience any abnormal or lasting side effects.

What is the best age to receive Sculptra?

While many patients begin Sculptra treatments in their late 30s to early 50s, it is also a popular choice for individuals both younger and older seeking natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation. People of many ages commonly use it to treat chin wrinkles, fine lines around the lips, or deeper folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds).
