Sculptra Injections in Sellersville & New Hope
Gradual, natural-looking volume restoration that works with your own collagen.
Sculptra is an injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Rather than filling a line the way hyaluronic-acid fillers do, it stimulates your skin to build its own collagen over several months, gradually restoring lost volume and firmness. Treatments at Alpha Dermatology are performed by experienced injectors under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Daniel I. Shrager.
What Sculptra Treats
Hollowing of the cheeks and temples
Deep smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines
Loss of definition along the jawline and chin
Thin, crepey skin that benefits from added structure
Sculptra is FDA-approved for the correction of facial volume loss and wrinkles.
How It Works
After injection, the PLLA microparticles act as a scaffold that prompts fibroblasts to produce new collagen. The particles are gradually absorbed while the collagen remains. This is why results appear progressively over 2–3 months rather than immediately.
What to Expect
Sessions take about 30 minutes. Most patients need 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the degree of volume loss. Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites is common for a few days. You will be asked to massage the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five days to help distribute the product evenly. Small, non-visible bumps under the skin can occasionally occur and are usually managed easily.
How Long Does It Last?
Because the improvement comes from your own collagen, results commonly last around two years, with occasional maintenance sessions.
Sculptra vs. Hyaluronic-Acid Fillers
Choose Sculptra for broad, gradual volume and skin quality; choose HA fillers for immediate, precise correction of a specific line or feature. Many patients benefit from a combination, and we will recommend what fits your anatomy and goals.
