The Secret to Timeless Confidence: Why We Recommend Sculptra
At Estima Aesthetics, we know our most loyal patients aren’t looking for quick fixes, they’re looking for results that last. You want treatments that respect your time, deliver consistency, and give you the confidence of knowing you’re in the hands of someone who understands both artistry and science. That’s exactly why so many of our patients choose Sculptra injections with Alex.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment designed to restore lost volume and improve skin firmness from the inside out. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add immediate volume, Sculptra works with your body to stimulate new collagen production for results that appear gradually and last up to two years.
The active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), has been safely used in medicine for decades, including in dissolvable stitches. In aesthetics, PLLA works beneath the skin’s surface to rebuild your foundation and create a more youthful, natural appearance.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Here’s what happens after a Sculptra treatment:
Microparticles of PLLA are injected into the deeper layers of the skin.
Your body recognizes these particles and begins a natural healing response.
Fibroblasts (the collagen-producing cells in your skin) are activated.
New type I collagen fibers form around the PLLA particles, rebuilding support and structure.
As the PLLA is absorbed, your own collagen remains in place; creating results that are gradual, natural, and long-lasting.
This process takes time. Most patients notice changes within 6-8 weeks, with results continuing to improve for several months.

At Estima, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Every Sculptra plan is customized to meet your goals, your timeline, and your vision for long-term beauty.
Why We Start with Two Treatments
At Estima, we recommend starting with a series of two Sculptra appointments spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
Collagen builds cumulatively: The initial series creates a strong foundation.
Timing matters: Spacing treatments allows the body to respond naturally.
Consistency is key: This schedule ensures even collagen stimulation and balanced results.
Most patients then move into annual Sculptra maintenance treatments to keep collagen levels supported and results long-lasting.
Areas Sculptra Can Treat
Sculptra is versatile and effective for multiple areas of the face and body, including:
Cheeks and midface volume loss
Jawline definition
Temples
Marionette lines
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Neck and décolletage (off-label use in some cases)
Sculptra Before and After: What to Expect
Because Sculptra works gradually, results look subtle and natural. Patients often describe themselves as looking refreshed rather than “done.” Over time, you’ll notice improvements in skin texture, firmness, and volume that last up to two years or more with maintenance.
Why Our Patients Love Sculptra
Patients who choose Sculptra with Alex are often those who value:
Long-term results instead of short-term fixes
Consistency from an injector who knows their history and goals
