Wilmington sculptra
what to expect during treatment
Your appointment will begin with a consultation and a full face assessment to determine a treatment plan based on your facial anatomy and goals. Once we’ve mapped the injection areas, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to make it as comfortable as possible
After the skin is cleansed, your provider will carefully inject Sculptra into the targeted areas. Unlike dermal filler, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. You’ll likely experience mild redness or swelling immediately after your treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Initial results are subtle, with collagen production beginning beneath the surface. You can expect to see visible improvement in volume and texturfe around 6 to 8 weeks after your appointment, with continued improvement over the following months. The results are natural-looking, long-lasting, and ideal for those seeking overall skin rejuvenation.

Sculptra FAQs
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable treatment that gradually restores lost volume and improves skin quality by stimulating collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works over time to enhance skin thickness and restore lost volume for a natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.
What does Sculptra treat?
Sculptra treats volume loss by stimulating collagen production for a natural, long-lasting rejuvenation. At Self Skin Studio, we use it to restore fullness in the cheeks, temples, and jawline, while also improving overall skin texture and elasticity.
Does Sculptra hurt?
While pain tolerance varies among individuals, Sculptra injections are generally well-tolerated. We use a local anesthetic to ensure patient comfort during the treatment. Minor discomfort may occur, similar to that experienced during any injectable treatment.
How many Sculptra treatments will I need?
The number of Sculptra treatments needed varies based on individual goals and collagen loss. Most patients require 2 to 3 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, for optimal results. Full effects develop gradually over a few months, with results lasting up to two years or more.
How long does Sculptra last?
One of the advantages of Sculptra is its longevity. Results can last up to two years, offering a effective, long-term treatment option for skin rejuvenation.
How long will it take to see my Sculptra results?
Sculptra works by subtly enhancing your skin's collagen production over time. Early changes might be visible around 6-8 weeks, but full effects usually take a few months. This process ensures a gradual, natural-looking improvement.
What areas of the face can you treat with Sculptra?
Sculptra is a versatile treatment and can address multiple facial areas. It is particularly effective at replenishing volume to hollow regions in the cheeks and temples.
What should I do to prepare for my Sculptra treatment?
To prepare for a Sculptra treatment, avoid taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, a week before the procedure unless otherwise directed by your physician. Alcohol consumption should also be minimized the day prior to the appointment. Ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed and free of makeup on the day of the treatment.
What should I do after my Sculptra treatment?
Following the Sculptra treatment, avoid excessive sun and heat exposure for a few days and keep the treated area clean. Refrain from applying makeup for the first 24 hours. Gently massaging the treated area for five minutes, five times per day, for the first 5 days. It is normal to experience some redness, swelling, or bruising post-procedure, but should you have any concerns, contact us immediately.
