What Are Sculptra Treatments?
If you’re looking for a long-lasting, non-surgical solution to facial aging, Sculptra treatments might be exactly what you need. At Omni Dental, we offer Sculptra treatments to help restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, and stimulate natural collagen production. Using poly-L-lactic acid, this treatment gradually improves the skin’s texture and fullness.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra treatments work over time to support your body’s natural renewal process. Patients notice subtle and lasting changes that don’t look overdone or artificial.
By choosing Sculptra treatments, you’ll enjoy results that can last up to two years. Whether you’re concerned about fine lines and wrinkles, hollow cheeks, or deep fold contour deficiencies, this treatment helps your skin rebuild from within. Plus, it’s FDA-approved and known for its safety and minimal downtime.
Benefits and What Patients Can Expect
Long-Lasting Natural Results
One of the biggest advantages of Sculptra treatments is the long-lasting improvement. Because it stimulates collagen production, the effects improve over several weeks and can last up to 24 months. Unlike treatments that fill the skin instantly, Sculptra works gradually to provide smooth, natural volume over time.
Subtle Enhancements Without Looking Overcorrected
Sculptra is designed to avoid that “overdone” look. In fact, it’s never overcorrected because they are expected to improve slowly. Most patients appreciate that their results appear slowly, which allows others to see a natural transformation without guessing they’ve had treatment.
Safe and Minimally Invasive
Sculptra treatments are considered safe when performed by professionals. Though common side effects may include temporary injection site swelling, redness, tenderness, itching, or bruising, these usually go away within a few days. Larger lumps some with delayed onset with or without inflammation or skin discoloration have also been reported, but these are rare and often preventable with proper aftercare.
Suitable for Various Skin Concerns
Sculptra can help with several aesthetic concerns like facial wrinkles, fine lines, fold contour deficiencies, and even mild skin sores, cysts, or pimples. It's also effective in smoothing areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline. For best results, multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart are usually recommended.

Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a biocompatible substance that gets absorbed by the body.

Sculptra treatments are injected under the skin to target deep lines, facial wrinkles, and hollow areas.
Most patients can return to their regular routine immediately. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the treated area, but these typically fade in a few days.
