Sculptra in Sewickley
Get Results Without Surgery
As you age, skin displays the effects of years of sun exposure and the slowing of elastin and collagen production. This creates sagging skin and hollowness that can impact the look of the cheeks, under eyes, jowls, and neck. This can accentuate the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
Our Sculptra in Sewickley is a nonsurgical solution for facial hollowness. This poly-L-lactic acid dermal filler revamps your skin while regenerating collagen in the skin at the same time. Providers use Sculptra to enhance facial features and restore volume.

Benefits of Sculptra in Sewickley
Long-Term Benefits
The most unique aspect of Sculptra is its ability to regenerate collagen in your skin while it does its primary job as a dermal filler. Your skin will produce more natural collagen after Sculptra for lasting benefits.
Rejuvenating Results
The results from Sculptra help skin appear more plump and youthful for a rejuvenated overall appearance.
Nonsurgical Solution
For those wanting to rewind the clock without surgery, Sculptra is a great alternative. Some refer to it as a nonsurgical facelift or even a nonsurgical rhinoplasty.
Our Sculptra Process
Step 1
Arrive on Time
We prefer that you arrive on time for your appointment so you can sit back and relax during your Sculptra appointment. You are able to fill out most required forms during your consultation, so you should not have to arrive early for paperwork.
Step 2
Relax & Enjoy
Trust that you are in the hands of an experienced member of our esthetician team, and just take this time to enjoy the Sculptra process. Sculptra is not painful, and the only possible discomfort is the injection itself, so you can take the time to either chat with your provider, or sit back, relax, and listen to our calming music.
Step 3
Reschedule
For Sculptra in Sewickley, most clients need anywhere from 3–6 sessions to experience the best possible results, so after your session, we’ll give you aftercare instructions and schedule for your next session. You won’t see your Sculptra results immediately, but you will be able to see your renewed skin appear over the coming weeks!

Did You Know…
Sculptra is a bioactivator, not a filler! Sculptra will cause your body to start producing more collagen, naturally restoring your internal structure rather than filling your body with synthetic materials.
