Before
After 25 monthsHow does Sculptra® work?
Sculptra®’s PLLA microparticles are injected into the skin and gradually absorbed, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. This collagen rebuilds your skin’s inner structure, restoring lost volume and improving texture and firmness.
PLLA is a substance that has been used safely in dissolvable sutures for decades. At TruWellness, we offer it as a long-lasting solution for patients who want subtle, progressive rejuvenation without looking “done.”
It is commonly used to treat:
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds) and the volume loss that deepens them
- Fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek area
- Marionette lines and other facial wrinkles
- Gradual, natural-looking volume restoration as your collagen rebuilds
How is Sculptra® different from filler?
- Sculptra® works deep within the skin to gradually stimulate your own collagen. Hyaluronic acid filler adds volume directly, right away.
- Sculptra® gives natural-looking results that improve over time. Filler results are visible immediately.
- Sculptra® effects are long-lasting, up to 2 years or more. Filler can last six months to two years.
Traditional fillers usually use hyaluronic acid. Dermal fillers →
How is Sculptra® different from Botox®?
- Sculptra® helps stimulate your own collagen. Botox® temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause certain lines.
- Sculptra® is FDA-approved to correct smile lines, cheek wrinkles and other facial wrinkles. Botox® is not a volumizer.
- Sculptra® results develop gradually and look natural. Botox® results appear within days.
- Sculptra® can last up to 2 years. Botox® typically lasts 3 to 4 months.
Many clients get both. Botox®, Dysport® & Daxxify® →
How many Sculptra® sessions do I need, and when will I see results?
Most patients need 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, though your exact plan may vary based on your goals and volume loss. Results are not immediate; improvements develop gradually over the series.
What to expect from your results:
- Subtle improvement in facial volume and contour over time
- A refreshed, youthful appearance without looking overdone
- Long-lasting results that can remain visible for up to two years or longer
Because collagen rebuilds from within, results tend to look more natural and age gracefully with you.
What happens during a Sculptra® appointment?
A Sculptra® appointment is a straightforward in-office procedure that typically lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, with little to no downtime.
- ConsultationWe evaluate your facial anatomy and treatment goals.
- NumbingA topical numbing cream maximizes comfort.
- InjectionsA series of tiny injections with a fine needle or cannula in targeted areas.
- MassageGentle massage of the treated area ensures even distribution.
Some patients may experience mild swelling, bruising or redness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days.
Can I plan my Sculptra® treatment with a 3D scan?
Yes. With the Sculptra® 3D Experience, an Aura™ 3D facial scan shows where your face has lost volume in about a minute, and your provider builds a personalized plan around it. TruWellness is the only practice in Newburyport with Aura™ 3D scanning.

Sculptra®: common questions
How does Sculptra® work?
Sculptra® is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Its microparticles are gradually absorbed and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, rebuilding your skin’s inner structure to restore lost volume.
How many Sculptra® sessions will I need?
Most patients require 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, though your exact treatment plan may vary based on your goals and volume loss.
How long does Sculptra® last?
Results can remain visible for up to two years or longer.
Is Sculptra® a filler?
Sculptra® is a biostimulatory injectable rather than a traditional filler. Instead of adding volume with hyaluronic acid, it gradually stimulates collagen production.
When will I see Sculptra® results?
Results are not immediate. Improvements develop gradually over a series of treatments as your collagen rebuilds.
Is there downtime after Sculptra®?
There is little to no downtime. Some patients may experience mild swelling, bruising or redness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days.
