Sculptra
- Sculptra is a collagen stimulator injected into the face to trigger the body to produce more collagen. As we age, our bodies decrease collagen production, resulting in volume loss and skin laxity. Increasing collagen will restore volume to the face. The active ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid. This product has been successfully injected into the face to improve facial volume for over 10 years.

What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid. Poly-L-lactic acid has been used safely for many years as the main component in some sutures and stitches. It was found that injecting this material in a near liquid form stimulated the body to produce collagen, prompting the development of the cosmetic treatment.
How does Sculptra improve facial harmony?
As we age, we gain weight in the body but lose weight in the face. Collagen levels deplete over time, and we naturally lose fat and bone as a result of aging. The best way to explain the effect of facial deflation is to use the grape and raisin analogy.
A full face is like a smooth grape. A plump grape does not have wrinkles or shadows. As the grape ages, it loses volume and becomes a raisin. A raisin has wrinkles and many shadows on the surface. If you took a raisin and made it plump again, it would look like a grape. The face undergoes a similar process as it loses volume. For this reason, the addition of volume can fill, lift, and smooth facial wrinkles.
How does Sculptra work in Charlotte?
Sculptra injections trigger the body to produce new collagen to add volume to the face. Since this process works at a cellular level, it does not work overnight. The collagen slowly creates a gradual increase in facial volume that occurs over 1-4 months.
Younger patients may see a volume increase over one month. Older patients will require additional injections of Sculptra in Charlotte spaced out every four weeks. A typical patient will require three treatments and they will see an increase in volume over a four-month period.

Frequently asked questions
What areas of the face should not have Sculptra?
Sculptra is not injected in the delicate skin beneath the eye or on and around the lips.
Can Sculptra raise my sagging skin?
Patients that have experienced skin laxity due to facial volume loss are very good candidates for Sculptra treatments.
What is unique regarding the injection technique at Carolina Facial Plastics?
Dr. Kulbersh was trained by one of the pioneering Sculptra injectors in the country, Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald, during his training in Beverly Hills. She is consistently one of the world’s top injectors regarding the amount of Sculptra injected in a year. This training and experience allowed Dr. Kulbersh to bring leading-edge techniques and analysis to his staff and patients in Charlotte.
How long does the increased volume from Sculptra last?
The average duration of Sculptra improvements is two years, although this varies from patient to patient.
Do I need the same amount each time I have a treatment?
Not necessarily. Depending on the results after your first or second injection, you may require less Sculptra during follow up injections. Patients may require touch-up injections as the Sculptra volume is lost, which typically require less product.
How many vials do most patients require during their first treatment?
This depends on the treatment location, age of the patient, and the amount of volume loss. It can range from 1-3 vials. A young woman in her 30s with a smaller volume loss may need just one vial, while a woman in her 60s with significant volume loss is likely to require three vials.
How much does Sculptra cost in Charlotte?
The price of Sculptra varies widely in Charlotte. Sculptra is priced per vial. A patient will need 1-3 vials per treatment session and 1-3 sessions to achieve their cosmetic goals. An expert Sculptra injector may charge more for the treatment but also provide the best results. The Sculptra price in Charlotte can also vary between the first session and subsequent sessions as the subsequent sessions may be less.
