WORTH THE HYPE
Discover Sculptra
How I Restored My Face’s Natural Volume
I have been preaching and spreading the good word of Sculptra for many years and I have got to say – I am so glad that it finally feels like everyone else is starting to get on board!
So, what is Sculptra and why am I so obsessed with it? For those of you who haven’t yet discovered this magical injectable, Sculptra is not just another HA filler. It is a biostimulatory aesthetic product (Poly-L Lactic Acid) that doesn’t “fill” so much as it helps to stimulate your own natural collagen production, creating a soft youthful volume and improved skin texture.
Recognizing Early Signs of Volume Loss
How Sculptra Helps Restore a Natural, Youthful Look
I first discovered Sculptra in my mid-thirties. I got up and looked in the mirror one day and I realized that all of the plump volume that had given my face its youthful appearance was starting to disappear. My cheeks had started to sink a bit, and the corners of my mouth appeared to be slightly “jowling” and drooping. I was using great skincare and getting regular laser and needling treatments, but this felt out of my control.
Obviously, I wanted to address these concerns, but as much as I love filler for my lips – it just didn’t feel like the right fit for me when it came to facial volume. I didn’t want to change the shape of my face; I just wanted my natural volume back.
After consulting with a plastic surgeon I knew well, I decided to give Sculptra a try. He had explained that while fillers may overwhelm my face and bone structure, Sculptra would subtlely and over a few months rebuild my face’s natural volume.
Age-related facial volume loss typically starts in the mid to late 20s as collagen production decreases and continues into the mid-30s to early 40s when signs become more visible.
This natural aging process, characterized by reduced skin elasticity and loss of subcutaneous fat, leads to a less full and more sagging appearance, especially around the cheeks, temples, lips, and eyes.
My Personal Sculptra Journey
The Gradual Transformation to Fuller, Healthier-Looking Skin
I scheduled three sessions spaced roughly six weeks apart with his nurse injector and did the full series. Around four months after my first treatment, I wondered to myself whether it had been worth the investment.
I took a photo to compare with older images of my face before we had begun treatment, and to say that I was blown away is an understatement.
Results build very slowly over the treatment time and the month or two following, and I hadn’t even noticed how incredible my facial volume was looking. I don’t know how to describe how treatment results can be an absolute home run while also being subtle and natural, but Sculptra is exactly that girl.
I was hooked – I got started 8 years ago and I have never turned back. I get a touchup once a year and my face has maintained its natural shape and the volume that I had in my 20s! Don’t sleep on Sculptra, y’all – combined with laser and needling, it is the literal fountain of youth.
Sculptra at Ari Blanc
We’ve seen firsthand how Sculptra can create a gradual yet remarkable transformation in clients and team members alike, including our own aesthetic clinicians—just like Lauren, who remains a passionate advocate for Sculptra after experiencing its impressive results. The beauty of this product lies in its ability to stimulate your own collagen production, leading to a slower, more natural-looking evolution rather than the immediate (and sometimes “obvious”) effect seen with other fillers. For anyone who wants to refresh their appearance without appearing to have “had work done,” Sculptra is an exceptional choice.
Another reason we love Sculptra is its versatility. While it’s widely recognized for restoring volume in the cheeks and along the jawline, it can also deliver a subtle lift in other areas that need extra support. Many of our patients pair Sculptra with treatments like laser and microneedling for a full-spectrum approach, improving not only volume but also skin texture and elasticity. For the best experience, we recommend completing the entire course of Sculptra sessions and adhering to post-treatment instructions—this ensures you enjoy the full benefits this product can provide.
