Before your first treatment you will always have a consultation. Think through what you want to achieve and any questions that you want to ask your healthcare practitioner. You will be informed about how Sculptra works and how it can be used in a safe way to improve your skin’s firmness by stimulating your body’s own collagen production.

Your healthcare practitioner will also ask you about your medical history. After the consultation you should feel well informed about Sculptra and know what results to expect.

Make sure that the clinic has a qualified practitioner(s) so that your treatment will be performed correctly. You could always search in national registers of licensed aesthetic treatment specialists. Your treatment should be performed in a medical environment that provides privacy and is spotlessly clean. You can always request to see training certificates and insurance certificates to ensure that your healthcare practitioner has received the appropriate training and is insured for the treatment.

Specialists who have been trained to inject Sculptra for natural collagen stimulation, and are licensed to practice within your country or state, may administer the treatment. This can include physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and other trained personnel.

Your healthcare practitioner should provide you with comprehensive information about how Sculptra can stimulate the formation of collagen in a natural way and give you a detailed explanation regarding your treatment.

This is what you should expect:
•    Information about the possibilities and limitations of the treatment
•    Information about possible side effects and precautions for treatment
•    Information about the cost of the treatment and follow-up treatments
•    That your questions are answered to your full satisfaction

Sculptra is injected to correct shallow to deep wrinkles and folds, by stimulating the skin’s own collagen production. Administered with the appropriate injection technique from a trained specialist, Sculptra is clinically approved for:
•    Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), also called “smile lines”
•    Lines framing the mouth (marionette lines)
•    Chin wrinkles

Please note that indications vary between countries. Please consult your healthcare practitioner for more information. 

On average, a series of three treatment sessions over the course of a few months may be needed. The number of injections at each session will vary, depending on the degree of correction needed and the treatment plan determined by you and your healthcare practitioner.
