Sculptra® in Bloomfield Hills, MI
What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® treats the underlying cause of facial volume loss such as bone, collagen, and fat loss rather than simply affecting specific areas where lines and wrinkles are prevalent. Sculptra® works differently than hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler products while the ultimate goal remains to add volume to the face while reducing lines and wrinkles, it accomplishes this in a slightly different, longer-lasting way.
Sculptra® is made from poly-L-lactic acid, which has been discovered to stimulate the growth of collagen. It often takes a few weeks for collagen production to begin. This helps long term to restore facial volume by naturally “tightening” the face, creating a more youthful appearance by reversing the years of aged collagen.

The Power of Sculptra®
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sculptra® and how does it work?
Sculptra® Aesthetic is an FDA-approved biostimulatory filler designed to gradually restore lost facial volume by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that add instant volume, Sculptra® works beneath the skin over time, improving skin thickness, elasticity, and structure for a naturally youthful look.
At Beauty Culture, we use Sculptra® to provide long-lasting, subtle enhancement that refreshes your appearance without looking overdone.
What areas can be treated with Sculptra®?
- Cheeks & Midface – Restores youthful volume and contours
- Temples – Fills hollowness for a balanced, lifted look
- Jawline – Enhances definition and structure
- Nasolabial Folds – Softens deep smile lines
- Marionette Lines – Reduces sagging around the mouth
- Décolletage & Chest – Smooths fine lines and crepey skin
- Buttocks (Non-Surgical BBL) – Adds volume and improves skin quality
- Hip Dips – Fills in concave areas for a smoother silhouette
- Knees, Elbows, & Arms – Rejuvenates skin for a firmer appearance
How long does it take to see peak results?
Sculptra® works gradually, with noticeable improvements appearing 4-6 weeks after treatment as your body builds collagen. Full results develop over 3-6 months, with optimal outcomes after a series of treatments.
How long does Sculptra® last?
Results from Sculptra® are long-lasting—typically 2-3 years—because it stimulates your own collagen production. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain and enhance results over time.
Will I see immediate results?
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® does not provide instant volume. Initial swelling from the injection will subside within a few days, and collagen production will gradually improve skin structure over the following months.
Is there any downtime?
Sculptra® requires minimal downtime, but mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites is normal and resolves within a few days. Post-treatment recommendations:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Massage the treated areas 5 times a day for 5 minutes over 5 days (5-5-5 Rule)
- No facials, lasers, or chemical peels for 2 weeks
Who is a good candidate for Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is ideal for patients who:
- Want gradual, natural-looking volume restoration
- Prefer a long-lasting collagen-stimulating solution
- Have mild to moderate facial volume loss or skin laxity
- Want full-body collagen rejuvenation (e.g., buttocks, hands, knees)
Can Sculptra® be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Sculptra® enhances results when combined with:
- Dermal Fillers – For instant volume while collagen builds
- Sylfirm X & Laser Treatments – Improves skin quality and tightness
- Medical-Grade Skincare – Supports collagen production for long-term results
How many treatments of Sculptra® will I need?
Sculptra® is a gradual, buildable treatment, and most patients need a series of sessions to achieve optimal collagen stimulation. As a general rule:
- 1 treatment per decade of life (e.g., 3 treatments in your 30s, 4 in your 40s, etc.)
- Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart for best collagen production
- Body treatments (buttocks, hip dips, hands, etc.) may require more sessions for full correction
Once you’ve reached your desired results, we recommend 1 maintenance treatment per year to sustain collagen production and keep your skin firm, youthful, and naturally rejuvenated. Your provider will customize your treatment plan based on your unique needs!

What It Treats
Sculptra®'s unique poly-L-lactic acid formulation works as a bio-activator, triggering your skin's natural collagen production deep within its structure. Unlike immediate fillers, this progressive stimulation creates a natural scaffolding that strengthens and supports your skin from within. Over time, this leads to improved skin quality, thickness, and resilience as your body generates new collagen networks.
Through its innovative approach to whole-face renewal, Sculptra® provides comprehensive rejuvenation that goes beyond targeted filling. The treatment works throughout the facial architecture to restore youthful volume proportions, improve skin quality, and enhance overall facial harmony. This pan-facial approach creates natural-looking results that evolve gradually, helping you look refreshed rather than "done."
Sculptra® uniquely approaches volume loss by stimulating your body's natural collagen production to restore facial fullness. Rather than simply filling space, it helps rebuild the underlying support structure that diminishes with age. This regenerative process creates lasting volume restoration in key areas like the temples, cheeks, and jawline, helping to recreate youthful facial contours while maintaining natural movement and expression.
