What to expect during sculptra treatment

We make sure that your treatment proceeds painlessly with a numbing agent. Most patients will have a series of treatments in Puyallup, WA, to achieve optimal outcomes.
How long is recovery after Sculptra?
Sculptra is slightly different from other injectable products because it gradually corrects facial wrinkles over time. The overall effect can last for more than two years, but this timeline will vary based on each patient and their anti-aging concerns. It's important to discuss the expected results with a member of our aesthetic team.
Our patients have reported minimal to no side effects with Sculptra. However, some individuals may experience injection-related side effects, such as redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or bleeding. Please note that these are common and are generally resolved within a few hours to days following treatment.
