About Sculptra
Regain Both Volume and Confidence
Sculptra’s active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, works beneath the surface of your skin to stimulate collagen growth, returning plumpness and elasticity to your skin and confidence in your appearance.
Erase the Signs of Aging
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Because Sculptra is a dermal filler, it does what other dermal fillers do—erasing fine lines and wrinkles as it fills in where collagen has been lost due to the natural effects of aging. Because Sculptra has long-term positive effects on renewed collagen production, it can be years before those fine lines and wrinkles try to show up again.
Draw the Line on Smile Lines
Deeper Reach for Wrinkles
Your smile can be infectious! As you age, however, your body makes less collagen. That means your skin gradually becomes weaker, with less volume—and your smile causes deep lines to develop, stretching from your nose to your mouth. Sculptra injections can be placed deeply in those areas, stimulating collagen production and filling in the creases.
Sculptra Can Last Up to 24 Months or More
3 Treatments for Years of Results
The longevity of Sculptra has never ceased to amaze us! We regularly see positive results last for a year or more, with some clients seeing enhanced volume and anti-aging results go for 2 years or longer! That's why Sculptra isn't a "quick fix" for volume loss and aging. Rather, it's a long-term answer for your aesthetic goals.
What to Expect
The Sculptra Process
Consultation
Your Sculptra journey begins with a Lexington Prime Aesthetics & Wellness consultation. During this session, you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. We’ll also examine your areas of concern to determine if Sculptra can provide the best solution. If so, we’ll schedule your injections.
Treatment
Our expert injector will administer your Sculptra dermal filler through injections in the targeted areas. Most clients find the process very tolerable, but numbing agents are available for those with heightened sensitivities. The artful placement of your Sculptra takes an hour or less, depending on your treatment goals.
Aftercare
While immediate results are visible, the true transformation occurs gradually as collagen production increases. Most of our clients notice subtle improvements in skin texture and volume within a few weeks. Some clients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days.
Maintenance
You’ll receive instructions on caring for your skin and managing any potential side effects. Over the following months, collagen production will enhance your skin, resulting in a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. We recommend scheduling a follow-up visit within 6 to 9 months to monitor your results and schedule any refresher injections.

Sculptra FAQs
Sculptra has 3 unique properties that make it stand apart from hyaluronic (HA) dermal fillers:
- Gradual improvement. Unlike treatments that deliver instant but temporary results, Sculptra’s effects become more noticeable over time. While this means you won’t suddenly look dramatically different, you will see a subtle transformation that progressively enhances your natural beauty.
- Poly-L-lactic acid. Instead of having hyaluronic acid as the active ingredient, Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to work beneath the surface of your skin, triggering your body’s natural collagen growth. Collagen is the protein responsible for giving your skin its plumpness & elasticity. Collagen production naturally declines as we age, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. Sculptra helps reverse this process, restoring your skin’s vitality and youthful appearance.
- Long-lasting results. The positive results of Sculptra injections have been known to last up to 2 years. This is because Sculptra not only provides shorter-term volume enhancement, but its ability to promote collagen production in the treatment areas means that volume enhancement remains even after your body gradually metabolizes the Sculptra gel.
Most Lexington Prime Aesthetics & Wellness clients report minimal discomfort during Sculptra treatments. Our expert injector can use numbing agents to ensure your comfort during your treatment session.
There is no downtime after having a Sculptra in Lexington, KY, and you can go about your regular daily routine. We do ask that you remain for 15 minutes after your final injection to ensure placement is good and you feel comfortable.
After your session, you should:
- Massage the treated area(s) 5 times a day, for 5 minutes, for 5 days.
- Refrain from getting a facial or professional facial massage for 2 weeks.
- Avoid strenuous activities for 24 hours.
- Gently apply ice packs to the treated areas for 3 to 5 minutes a few times a day, as needed.
- Feel free to apply makeup 3 to 4 hours after your treatment.
- Be prepared for your desired results to gradually show over the next few weeks and months.
