Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra works gradually to stimulate your skin’s own collagen production, leading to natural-looking, long-lasting improvements in volume and skin texture.
If you’re considering Sculptra for the face, this comprehensive guide covers its benefits, risks, candidacy, healing process, and post-treatment care. Plus, we’ll introduce you to Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoon, a certified provider with advanced training in Sculptra treatments.
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that helps stimulate collagen production in the skin. It is especially effective for addressing volume loss in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and other areas affected by aging. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra works over time, gradually enhancing facial volume and firmness over a series of treatments.
Choosing Sculptra offers numerous advantages:
Natural-looking results: Collagen production leads to gradual volume restoration that looks and feels like your own skin.
Long-lasting effects: Results can last up to two years or more after completing the treatment series.
Skin quality improvement: Increased collagen leads to smoother, firmer, more youthful skin over time.
Non-surgical: No incisions, no anesthesia, and minimal downtime.
Customizable: Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoon tailors every Sculptra treatment to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Sculptra is ideal for patients who:
Have mild to moderate facial volume loss
Want gradual, natural enhancement rather than dramatic changes
Are in good overall health
Understand that results take time to develop
Are looking for a long-term solution to signs of aging
Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoon carefully evaluates each patient to ensure Sculptra is the right fit, considering both cosmetic goals and medical history.
A typical Sculptra treatment is quick and relatively comfortable. After numbing the area, Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoonstrategically injects Sculptra into targeted areas of the face. Most patients require 2–3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the extent of volume loss.
After your Sculptra session, some mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, but these effects usually resolve within a few days. You’ll be asked to:
Massage the treated area for five minutes, five times a day, for five days — this helps distribute the product evenly.
Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat (like saunas) for 24–48 hours.
Keep the skin clean and avoid unnecessary pressure on treated areas.
Improvements will appear gradually over the following weeks as collagen builds beneath the skin. Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoon will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
Like any injectable, Sculptra carries some potential risks:
Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising
Small nodules or lumps under the skin (rare, especially with skilled injection technique)
Asymmetry or overcorrection if not performed by an experienced provider
That’s why it’s crucial to choose a skilled injector. Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoon has undergone specialized training in Sculptra administration, ensuring safe, precise, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
