Sculptra®
Restore lost volume with results that develop naturally on your skin's own timeline.
What Does Sculptra Treat?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that works by stimulating your body's own collagen production rather than simply adding volume. Unlike traditional fillers that deliver immediate results by filling in specific areas, Sculptra works gradually, triggering a natural rebuilding process beneath the skin that develops over weeks and continues to improve for months.
Starting in our mid-20s, we naturally lose about 1% of our collagen every year. By our mid-40s, that adds up to a significant loss in facial structure, contributing to hollowed cheeks, deepened folds, and an overall deflated appearance. Sculptra addresses this at the root by helping the skin rebuild what time has taken away.
The result is a subtler, more gradual transformation, one that tends to look so natural that patients simply appear healthier, more rested, and more like themselves.
What Happens at Your Appointment?
Every Sculptra treatment begins with a conversation, not a syringe. Here's how the process typically unfolds.

Your Experience With Sculptra
Sculptra is not an instant-gratification treatment, and that's precisely what makes it so well-suited for patients who want results that look natural. The collagen-building process unfolds over weeks and months, meaning your results develop gradually rather than appearing all at once.
Most patients complete a series of two to three treatment sessions, spaced several weeks apart. Collagen production continues to build between appointments, with the most visible improvements typically emerging between months two and four. Clinical data shows that over 80% of patients report good to excellent results that tend to last longer than traditional filler, with minimal touch-ups needed well beyond the two-year mark.

This is my favorite Medspa in town! They won’t try and sell you on anything, but instead, take the time to explain what will really work and the pluses and minuses of each treatment. I see Cam for my Dysport and filler and she is Amazing!

My experience was excellent with Atlanta Dermatology! It was very easy to book an appointment and they were able to fit me in the next day. I was sent links to fill out the paperwork before my appointment making streamlining the appointment very easy! The entire staff was very friendly and professional. I waited less than 10 minutes before I was seen. Stephanie was very attentive to my concerns and answered any questions that I had. I highly recommend Atlanta Dermatology based upon my awesome experience!!

I have been to several dermatologist that just wasted my time. But they sure charged. Then I found Dr. Miller and my world turned around. Dr. Miller took my case of blisters just come up on my body any and everywhere. No Dr. military or civilian could treat me without coming up with O results. Then I found Dr. Miller at Carolina Skin Care. I had to drive aways but Dr. Miller was the one that cares about her patient's. She took biopsies from my blister and started out to find out what I had. Dr. Miller never gave up. Even working on weekends searching & testing until she came up with a diagnosis . I just figured this was something from the war ( my team was hit with mustard gas) Dr.. Miller stayed at it. After different antibiotics she hit the jackpot. It has been several months and I'm still blister fee. Dr. Miller I'm sure makes the top dollar. She should she really takes on a personal determination to help her patient's. For me she is the most knowledgeable dermatologist that is out there. Dr. Miller you are a saint. I wouldn't go to ANY dermatologist just to Dr. Miller.
Carmen
Amazing dermatology office. Johanna Young PA is very kind and caring and willing to take the time to listen to all of your concerns and explain treatment. I am so happy to find this office. I give this practice five stars out of five.
Carmen
The Dr. checked places a previous Dr. did not dem as problems. She was very though.
Carmen
I had my first appointment with Mercy Viator, and it was a fantastic experience! She was punctual, incredibly thorough, personable and attentive during my skin cancer check and subsequent biopsy. She and the nurse walked me through the aftercare and gave me clear instructions. I'm grateful for the level of care Mercy provided and would highly recommend her!
Carmen
Everyone was so nice and I was in and out of there in a short time! Thank you North Atlanta Dematology!

Carmen
Love this place. Sonja and her staff are super nice and very professional and informative. By far the best medical office I've ever visited. Thanks guys. Keep up the excellent work
Carmen
All of the staff with whom I interacted were reassuring, professional and knowledgeable. Dr Simpson did an amazing job stitching my skin back together, to the point that even early in the healing process it is hard to find the seam. Recommend with no reservations!
Carmen
I have been visiting the Easton office for a number of years now and the office staff has always worked so well with me on my appointments. As for Dr. Neibyl, well, as long as he can see me I do not even think of going elsewhere. A 108 mile round trip is nothing compared to the peace of mind that I get after a visit. Richard R.
Carmen
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough great things about this practice! After several disappointing experiences with other dermatologists, finding this office has been such a relief. This is easily one of the best dermatology practices I’ve ever been to. The front staff is on top of their game and are genuinely helpful as well. That’s a rare combination to find and makes it so easy to get appointments scheduled or get information after your visit. The entire team is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about their patients. They took the time to listen and didn’t dismiss my concerns. As someone with multiple skin issues that require ongoing dermatology care, that level of compassion and attention means everything. A special thank you to Lina Weber and Young Lee. They’ve both been absolutely wonderful, kind, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every appointment has been a positive experience, and I always leave feeling heard and confident in my treatment plan. If you’re looking for a dermatologist who truly listens and provides exceptional care, I highly recommend this practice!
Carmen
They have been treating me well for several years now. Able to check results of biopsies promptly, schedule me soon as possible, reasonable wait times,friendly and professional to boot.
Carmen
Awesome facial and I can’t wait to go back
Carmen
Friendly well organized place. The staff is great.
Carmen
I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Sabini. She went out of her way to squeeze me in for an appointment, which I truly appreciated. From the moment I saw her, I felt comfortable and well cared for. She was gentle, knowledgeable, efficient, and made everything feel easy. I don’t normally see her at the Suwanee office, but after this visit I was so impressed. I also ran into a problem with a new credit card, and Sam Coad, the site manager, immediately stepped in and saved the day. Her kindness and helpfulness made an already great visit even better. Dr. Sabini and the Suwanee team made me feel genuinely cared for. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, professional, and positive experience. Five stars!
Carmen
Great staff and excellent service!
Carmen
Absolutely. Best place with the best and most professional kind courteous and compassionate staff. That I've ever had and experience with.

I absolutely love them, i truly hope they can see this. I want them to know that I am greatly appreciative of everything that they have done to help better. My life may God bless you and keep you all! And thank you, thank you,Thank you.Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I can't say how delighted I with with the treatment I've received over several visits. It's easy to schedule appointments on line, check in staff are friendly and efficient, medical assistants and providers are top class and listen to all your concerns - and their facility is a pleasure to visit. Medical care options and treatment are always well explained. Seriously, if you have any concerns about the state of your skin, this should be the first place you consider.
Carmen
Very warm and welcoming office from the receptionist to the assistant and the dr. She listened to my concerns and explained what might be the cause and what products I should try and why it would help. The dr answered my questions to my satisfaction.

If you have not had a hydra facial, schedule you appointment with Amanda at Meridiem Derm Spa at AA Dermatology. She gives an excellent HydraFacial and you leave with a very clean face, free of built up dirt and lotions. The procedure takes under an hour, but the results last 5-6 weeks. Amanda explains all the steps she is taking to make that glow happen. It is painless and the results are immediate. Very satisfied Customer, Pennie Burroughs

Yesterday (6/18/24) i was treated by Aubrey and had a great time. I've been a client for almost 15 years, for a pretty wide variety of services, and it's always been an excellent experience. Despite Dr. McDaniel's own retirement, I appreciate the PA's and nurse's medical expertise in diagnosis: I fully trust Tania's and Kelly's competence in performing procedures. Aubrey did a great job, very professional and caring! It's a beautiful, relaxing place with straight-up medical treatment rooms. And everyone is so kind and friendly--thanks, Jenna, Victoria and Kelli! Just signed up for a weekly series, so I'll be seeing you all summer long. PS, excellent parking situation. The connected garage is free and you don't have to go outside.
Carmen
Staff is very professional, courteous and friendly. Doctor/PA V was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Awesome visit and have no problem telling all my friends that this is the place to have their dermatological needs addressed.
Carmen
Most thorough exam I have ever had. Kudos to Carly and Jenny!
Carmen
Stellar office visit, they were all completely professional and caring. Front office staff, Dr. Brian Johnson and his assistant were all friendly professionals and genuinely interested in providing great service to my needs. The office is super clean and a pleasure to visit.
Carmen
Laren and her staff are wonderful—warm, welcoming, and very laid back, which immediately puts you at ease. I came in for a three-month follow-up and also brought up a new concern. They didn’t hesitate for a moment to address it and made sure all my needs were taken care of. Laren is both professional and down-to-earth. Her relaxed approach makes the visit feel more like catching up with someone who truly cares rather than a typical doctor’s appointment—which I really appreciate. Highly recommend!
Carmen
I feel very Blessed to have found Anne Arundel Dermatology. Dr. Brandon Mitchell is a Godsend. I appreciate his keen eye in detecting the cancers so quickly. Excellent work in the removal process. Scaring has been minimal and will be hard to detect. His caring nature during an unknown time is reassuring. The staff at this office are excellent as well. I appreciate all of them very very much. My life has literally been put in their hands and they have kept it safe. Huge thanks to all. Sincerely, God bless. Cheryl Shank-Johnson This is 2021 and I wouldn't place my life in anyone else's hands concerning this issue..Very grateful for Dr. Mitchell and his care. Staff wonderful. thanks. Cheryl This is now 2022 and I reaffirm every eord and more with Dr. Brandon Mitchell and his staff. I trust him completely. Best care ever. Cheryl
Carmen
I saw Jillian Clavenna, PA and she was careful, detailed and kind. She explained each aspect of the exam with intense detail. I saw Jillian at her old practice years ago and followed her back here after 2 failed providers. Thank you Dr. Clavenna

Today’s visit was excellent. We waited less than 10 minutes in the lobby, and the front desk staff were, as always, very friendly and welcoming. Our appointment was with Dr. Matthew Zook for the scheduled removal of a cyst above our three-year-old son’s eye. Both Dr. Zook and his assistant were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. As fairly anxious parents with a language barrier, we had many questions, and they took the time to answer every one of them without hesitation, making us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire visit. The procedure itself was very quick. Our son only shed two tears — honestly, my husband and I were much more nervous than he was! After the procedure, we were given clear instructions for aftercare, a prescription for an ointment, and reassurance that everything had gone very well. We are now waiting for the biopsy results, which should be available in about 10 days. Thank you to Dr. Zook and his assistant for their professionalism, expertise, compassion, and excellent care. We truly appreciate the wonderful experience and highly recommend this practice. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Carmen
Dr.Cheater and the staff are the best! They were genuinely concerned and addressed all of my needs!
Carmen
I’ve had these tiny bumps on my chin for years. Ive seen a slew of providers, and I’ve been told it is acne, hormonal acne, fungal acne, that I need an exfoliant, that I need a different type of exfoliant, etc. I’ve tried every product you can imagine. I saw Jennifer Roop Thursday of this week. Within seconds, she said it was perioral dermatitis and prescribed a topical treatment. Two days later my face has almost cleared completely. I am so shocked and so excited that I finally have a method to clear this up. Thank you!!
Carmen
Staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Shoonover was informative and helpful about my seborrheic keratosis moles. He was able to treat them the same day and was helpful on how to treat them in the coming weeks and months. I would definitely use them again.
Carmen
Thorough exam, very pleased with questions asked and the knowledge passed on to me. Very professional! Thank you!
Carmen
Synopsis - Amazing staff made this an amazing experience. I went in with some skin concerns that I had been reluctant to get taken care of. Finally broke down and set up an appointment online, got the vast majority of my paperwork and questionnaires out of the way online, and booked it. To be able to get all of those things out of the way ahead of heading to the appointment was so nice. The staff at the center were all amazing. From the wonderful receptionists, to Dari (sorry if I spelt it wrong) who was my assistant and Suzanne Craven who took care of my skin issues--it was amazing. They were thoughtful, listened, provided their expertise and advice, and cared. I truly cannot say enough good things about this whole experience for me. It'll be the only place I ever go to for anything dermatology related in the future, no doubt about it. 5 Cleared Up Stars out of 5!
Carmen
Staff seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. Will recommend. New patient appointment only required about 45 minutes of my busy day. Thanks Dr. Gary and nurse Kim
Carmen
Welcoming Front Desk Staff.
Carmen
Only reason the don't get 5* is because of the handicap ramp to get in the place. I take a couple clients who use rollators. The ramp is very long and pretty steep. But felt the were going to fall backwards & needed a rest as soon as we got to the door. Its also not covered so we got soaked when it started pouring.
Carmen
Fantastic care and thorough! I've been going here for 3 years and I appreciate them! Highly recommend!
Carmen
Pleasant experience overall. My doctor was Nikki she was quick but made me feel like she cared. And she touched me without gloves and that made me feel better like I didn't have the plague. overall -very nice experience. I felt uncomfortable about getting undressed for the full body check but she made it a breeze my prescriptions were delivered to me and I am very happy and will return. The front desk was nice and oh they will get that co pay from you on the spot so have that money.
Carmen
Paige Venables, PA-C, was very thorough, and made me feel very comfortable.
Carmen
I had such a great experience here from the moment I walked in the door. The women at the front desk were kind and welcoming and the check-in experience was easy. Then Ismeta came to bring me back to the room right away and I cannot properly express how warm her presence was. She was so deeply kind and caring and hospitable that it almost felt, not like a sterile doctor appointment, but like sharing a cup of tea with a trusted friend. And then Allie joined and she was also wonderful - knowledgeable and careful and patient. I left here feeling confident in my medical care and honestly just peaceful about the day moving forward. Thanks to the team!
Carmen

I had a very pleasant experience at this dermatology office. Everyone was so warm and friendly which made me feel very relaxed before my tixel procedure. I was very impressed with Dr. Noell she was very friendly and professional. She explained indepth the tixel procedure I was going to undergo. Afterwards she was concerned with how I made out. I told her that I was surprised at how relatively easy it was. I was lucky that I was able to get my botox done there too. Dr. Noell explained her rationale regarding this procedure saying she wasn't going to overdue it because it takes a full month to get the final results. When I come back next month, she could add more if needed. That was very logical thinking which I was very impressed with. The entire atmosphere of this office was enjoyable 😉.
Carmen
DMSC is an excellent clinic for any dermatology issues. I have been going there for over 10 years and have always had a positive experience.
Carmen
Love this place!! Their prices are reasonable and their employees use the utmost respect and professionalism while meeting every need.

The shady Grove office saw me promptly and Dr. Curtin gave me a thorough exam
Carmen
I have been a patient of Dermatology Associates for many years. I’ve had many treatments and surgeries to treat pre skin cancer and skin cancer issues. They have always been very professional, personable and caring. I have to compliment Emily at Dowel Springs for taking exceptionally good care of me during my recent blue light treatments! Dermatology Associates the people you have working there are your greatest assets and Emily is one of the best.
Carmen
Janet Benton NP is the best at what she does. She’s kind, gentle and a great listener. I can’t recommend her enough.
Carmen
Thankful to have found this office and doctor

Carmen
Dr.Suarez is very polite and professional good at her job. Thank you so much!!!
Carmen
Dr. Zook is a great doctor and the staff is professional. They made me feel good .
Carmen
Today was my second experience at Atlantic Dermatology. Once with my husband and today I went for myself for the first time. It’s such a great atmosphere, the staff is knowledgeable and compassionate. I wanted a full body check. They were very thorough and told me what all the spots were (I have lots of sun damage) and took a biopsy of one spot. I had heard great things about them, and they did not disappoint.
Carmen
I appreciated how thorough my FNP Sajani Goyal was with my acne and how she handled the prescribing of effective medications. She made me feel like it was an easy problem to fix and I left feeling confident that my acne would be resolved in a much simpler manner than I expected.
Carmen
Absolutely worth the drive from Hagerstown . Everyone was professional, polite and did not rush me at all unlike many other doctors these days . They will take the time to address any concerns you have .
Carmen
Great appointment with Dr. Zook. The staff was professional and helpful. The office was immaculate. They took me on time. I was in and out quickly. Dr. Zook is wonderful and attentive.

I have been going to this practice for at least 10 years. I always feel like I have a personal connection with the provider when I have a concern and it is always addressed satisfactorily.
Carmen
I am petrified of medical offices. The ladies make you feel very welcomed! You are quickly checked in and not long after, called to the back. Dr. Dawn is so awesome, fast and has A very soothing, calming voice. This was my 2nd visit with a small procedure and it was a breeze! These ladies made me so comfortable and my mind was at ease! Highly recommend!!!
Carmen
Such an excellent experience! The entire staff is so professional kind and helpful. Thank you for your excellent health care.

Carmen
Bill is great. Super attentive and definitely takes the extra mile for his patients. He leads an optimistic team that fosters such a positive environment in this facility. Great people and great practice. Very glad I began my eczema treatment here!
Carmen
The time it took to make the appointment or have the appointment confirmed in the email and text message sent and response so I know when to show up was wonderful to help had me seen in the correct amount of time the Dr and her helper were very professional wonderful place keep coming back
Carmen
Dr. Jenna was absolutely wonderful. I had been putting off a full-body skin scan for years out of fear—especially about the possibility of skin cancer. But from the moment I walked in, Dr. Jenna made me feel at ease. She walked me through the entire process, explained each mole and bump in clear, reassuring terms, and asked for my permission every step of the way. I even agreed to a biopsy, and I'm so glad I did. Her assistant was just as kind and professional, and the front desk staff made the whole experience warm and welcoming. I've already recommended this practice to others. I may have more follow-up needs in the fall, but one thing’s for sure—I won’t be putting off my scans anymore.
Carmen
Mi hija fue muy bien atendida gracias al equipo completo y al doctor
Carmen
Very caring and respectful staff.

I received my first HydraFacial this week. Julie Matthews was amazing and explained the entire process knowing it was my first visit. She made the entire experience wonderful. My face has never felt better! I definitely recommend if you've not tried it!!
Carmen
I highly recommend Dermatology Specialist of Augusta. I have been a patient in this office for around 4yrs now and I can honestly say I have received great care and advice. During all my procedures (including 3 Mohs surgeries) Every staff member including Dr Callaway makes sure you are comfortable and well informed about everything they are doing, I really appreciate that. From the front office to scheduling and all the nursing staff everyone is so friendly and supportive . A special thank you to PA Carly Griffies and Dr Callaway
Carmen

Carmen
Great place to go

I've been coming to NA Derm for over 10 years. I absolutely love Dr. Douchy; he quickly diagnosed my Melanoma, and sent me to Emory. I'll always be grateful to him for his quick action that may have saved my life in the long run. His PA - Leah, is so sweet, and she puts me at ease with my concerns. She is thorough also, which I appreciate, because of my history of Melanoma. The front office staff are so sweet and friendly as well.

I was thoroughly impressed with the service I received during a recent visit. I was skeptical at first based on the reviews. I was greeted by a welcoming front desk staff, and Nathali Rodriguez, PA answered my questions and provided insightful information regarding my skincare. She was attentive, professional, and demonstrated exceptional bedside manner. I'll definitely return for future treatment!

I am very thankful for AA Dermatology and for my provider Taj who has always been patient, understanding and knowledgeable. I am also very thankful that Taj provides advice for women of color experiencing concerns with melanin and afro-textured hair. I have had a great experience and I am thankful for the results I have seen.

The Annapolis office is very welcoming and professional. CHARU is always very pleasant and explains everything to you clearly so you understand. She never pushes services on you and has your best interest in mind when recommending treatments. I highly recommend Meridiem DermSpa in Annapolis and be sure to ask for Charu she definitely will take good care of you.

Dr Meghan Mitchell is an amazing dermatologist. She is knowledgeable and compassionate. She provides education and is thorough in her assessments. Her office staff is great, from front desk check-in and out to her medical assistants/scribes.

Your Sculptra Questions, Answered
Traditional fillers work by adding immediate volume to a specific area. Sculptra works differently because it stimulates your own collagen production over time, creating gradual volume and structural improvement. The results develop more slowly but tend to look more natural and last longer.
Most patients complete two to three treatment sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your individual goals, the degree of volume loss, and how your skin responds after your first session.
You may notice some initial fullness in the days following treatment due to swelling, but this isn't the treatment working. Real results from collagen stimulation begin to appear around month two, with continued improvement through months four to six.
Sculptra is known for its longevity. Clinical studies show that results can last 2 years or more, with minimal touch-ups at the 25-month mark. Because your results are built from your own collagen, they tend to hold up well over time.
Most patients tolerate Sculptra comfortably. A topical numbing agent is applied before treatment, and your provider may also mix a local anesthetic into the solution. Mild soreness or tenderness in the treated area is common for a few days following the procedure.
Sculptra works well for patients experiencing gradual facial volume loss, hollow cheeks or temples, deepened folds, or an overall loss of facial fullness. It's especially well-suited for patients who want natural-looking results over time rather than an immediate or dramatic change. A consultation with your provider is the best way to determine if Sculptra fits your goals.
Yes, and in many cases, combining Sculptra with other treatments produces the best overall results. Common pairings include neurotoxins like Botox for dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers for targeted volume, and laser or skin rejuvenation treatments for texture and tone. Your provider can recommend a plan that addresses your goals comprehensively.
Sculptra has been FDA-approved and used in aesthetic medicine for over two decades. When administered by a trained, licensed medical provider, it has a well-established safety profile. At Anne Arundel Dermatology, all injectable treatments are performed by credentialed professionals with deep experience in facial anatomy and aesthetic outcomes.
Your provider will give you specific pre-treatment guidance at your consultation. In general, it's recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil, for several days before treatment to minimize the risk of bruising. Arrive with a clean face and, if possible, avoid scheduling the appointment right before a major event, as some mild swelling is normal.
