Long-Lasting Results: How Sculptra® Stimulates Collagen Production
&srotate=0)
Aging gracefully is a goal for many people, but sometimes, our skin doesn't cooperate. Fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss can start earlier than expected, leaving us searching for effective solutions. Enter Sculptra. This innovative dermal filler does more than provide a temporary fix — it works below the surface to encourage new collagen production for long-lasting results.
Want to learn the science behind Sculptra or how to stimulate collagen production with dermal filler injections? Keep reading or call Phillip Dauwe, M.D. Plastic Surgery to meet with one of the best plastic surgeons in Dallas. Dr. Phillip Dauwe can explain the process and show Sculptra before and after photos to give you an idea of what results are possible.
The science behind Sculptra
Sculptra is not your typical dermal filler. While most fillers address wrinkles and volume loss with hyaluronic acid, Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This synthetic material is biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning it's safe for the body and gradually breaks down over time. But that's not all — PLLA also stimulates collagen production in the skin.
Collagen is a common protein that gives our skin structure, elasticity, and youthful firmness. But as we age, our body produces less of this protein, leading to signs of aging. By injecting Sculptra, we're not only filling in wrinkles and restoring volume but also telling our bodies how to stimulate collagen production.
What kind of concerns does Sculptra address?
Sculptra is a versatile filler used to address a wide variety of concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Sculptra can smooth out lines and creases around the nose and mouth for a more youthful look.
- Volume loss: As we age, our faces lose volume and start to look hollow. Dermal filler injections restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes.
- Skin laxity: Sculptra can improve skin elasticity and firmness for a tighter and more lifted appearance.

How long does Sculptra last?
So, how long does Sculptra last? After the initial series of injections over 3 – 4 months at Phillip Dauwe, M.D. Plastic Surgery, results can last up to two years. But the benefits don't just disappear after that time — new collagen production will continue to improve skin for even longer. Dr. Dauwe can provide a custom timeline for treatment and when to receive dermal filler injections for the best possible outcomes.
Is there a way to extend your results at home?
In addition to getting regular Sculptra injections, there are ways to prolong and enhance your results at home. This includes avoiding smoking, protecting yourself from UV exposure, and using high-quality skin care products recommended by Dr. Dauwe. Our staff can also provide tips and tricks for maintaining your outcomes between appointments.
