Sculptra® in NYC

Transform your appearance with Sculptra®! This innovative filler boosts your body’s collagen, smoothing wrinkles and restoring facial volume for long-lasting, natural-looking results that outshine other fillers.

What is Sculptra®?


Sculptra® is an injectable volumizing treatment that utilizes poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible ingredient known for its ability to promote collagen production in the skin. In contrast to conventional fillers that deliver instant volume, Sculptra® functions gradually, sculpting the facial contours and minimizing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines over time.

What Can It Treat?


Sculptra® can be used on all areas of the face, excluding the lips and the region around the eyes. It is clinically approved for use in treating:

  • Wrinkles in the cheeks
  • Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), commonly known as “smile lines”
  • Lines around the mouth (marionette lines)
  • Wrinkles on the chin

Why Sculptra®?


Unlike many fillers, Sculptra® enhances natural volume by stimulating your skin to boost its structural support through increased collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.

Learn More About Sculptra®

At Rapaport Plastic Surgery, our experienced injectors expertly utilize dermal fillers to enhance your features and achieve natural-looking results.

  • Each Sculptra® session begins with a personalized consultation to ensure the best outcomes.
  • Sculptra® is one of many dermal fillers we offer in our comprehensive treatment options.
  • We prioritize your comfort and are committed to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals throughout the entire process.

Collagen is a vital structural protein that helps maintain the firmness and thickness of your skin. As collagen levels decline with age, facial changes become more pronounced. Sculptra® effectively restores or enhances facial volume, supporting you in reaching your aesthetic aspirations.

Sculptra® sets itself apart from other dermal fillers by using poly-L-lactic acid, a safe and biostimulatory material. When injected, it stimulates collagen production, strengthening and reinforcing the skin’s structural foundation. This leads to increased volume for a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Unlike traditional fillers, the effects of Sculptra® develop gradually as new collagen forms over time. However, once fully established, these results tend to last longer than those of many other fillers. By encouraging your skin’s natural rejuvenation, Sculptra® delivers a smooth, natural look.

At Rapaport Plastic Surgery, our experienced injectors will meet with you prior to treatment to understand your goals and develop a personalized plan. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the injections, comparable to a small pinch. We also offer numbing cream and Pro-Nox™ (laughing gas) for added comfort.

The injection process usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, during which a series of Sculptra® injections will be administered to the targeted areas. Your injector will prioritize your comfort and answer any questions you may have throughout the session. Afterward, we’ll provide ice packs to help reduce swelling.

You can resume your daily activities right after your Sculptra® injections. While you might experience minor bruising, redness, or swelling at the injection site, these effects typically fade within a few days and can be easily concealed with makeup. You will also receive instructions to gently massage the treated area daily to help distribute and activate the filler.

During your consultation, our skilled injector will assess how much collagen your skin needs to achieve your desired results. Most individuals benefit from two to four Sculptra® sessions spaced one to two months apart, though your specific needs may vary.

Once fully established, Sculptra® results can last up to two years, which is longer than many other dermal fillers. To maintain your smooth, sculpted appearance and support ongoing collagen production, we recommend an annual touch-up session.

While many are familiar with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Sculptra® provides a unique alternative with a range of benefits, including:

  • Minimal downtime
  • Stimulates your body’s natural collagen production
  • Quick and convenient treatment sessions
  • Long-lasting results
  • Smooths lines and wrinkles
  • Adds volume to hollow areas
  • Restores lift and definition

Sculptra® is a versatile solution for anyone looking to restore or enhance facial volume. This biostimulatory dermal filler is suitable for healthy adults of all ages and effectively addresses various skin concerns. Ideal candidates are those with realistic expectations as results develop gradually over time.

Please note that Sculptra® is not intended for lip enhancement; for that, your injector will recommend a different filler. Additionally, individuals with certain medical conditions or active skin issues in the treatment area may not be appropriate candidates. For specific lines and wrinkles, injectable neuromodulators like Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau, Xeomin® and DAXXIFY® may be a better option.
