The Secret to Lasting Volume

Why Choose Wellness Center of Cleveland for Sculptra?

As we age, collagen production diminishes, leading to facial wrinkles, volume loss, and thinning skin. Sculptra treatments offer a natural-looking solution by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, restoring skin thickness and smoothness over time. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra injections work gradually, improving skin quality and volume with long-lasting results.

At Wellness Center of Cleveland, Dr. Ibrahim Elsheikh, a double board-certified physician, provides expert Sculptra treatments designed to enhance facial contours and restore youthful skin. Sculptra may be an ideal solution, if you're looking to soften deep wrinkles, restore facial volume, or improve skin texture.

Age on Your Terms

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler that can be used to treat signs of aging on facial skin and restore facial volume lost due to aging or illness. Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) which is a synthetic, biocompatible substance that is used for multiple medical applications aside from dermal injections. Sculptra stimulates collagen production in patients with a healthy immune system, allowing the tissue to volumize gradually, making it beneficial in the treatment of deep lines, creases, and folds to give a more youthful appearance.

The Art of Subtle Rejuvenation

What is the Sculptra procedure like?

A Sculptra treatment session is quick and minimally invasive:

  • Consultation: A thorough evaluation is performed to determine your treatment areas and customize your plan.
  • Preparation: A topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort, and the Sculptra solution is prepared with sterile water.
  • Injections: Your provider administers multiple injections in targeted areas using a fine needle.
  • Massage: The injected areas are gently massaged to evenly distribute the product and prevent small lumps or Sculptra nodules from forming.

Each treatment session takes about 30–45 minutes. Most patients need two to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.

Natural Beauty Starts Beneath the Skin

What conditions does Sculptra address?

Sculptra may be used for multiple applications in the treatment of a hollowed facial appearance, correcting facial volume loss and reducing lines and wrinkles. The most common treatment areas are:

  • The “smile lines” (nasolabial folds) that extend from a patient’s nose to the corners of their mouth
  • Marionette lines extending vertically from the corners of a patient’s mouth to their chin
  • Skin depressions or hollowed facial areas such as sunken cheeks
  • Wrinkles in the chin area

Sculptra may also be used in treatments in other parts of the body, not just the face. These off-label areas include:

  • Butt lifts and butt augmentation
  • Hip augmentation
  • Cellulite treatment
  • Elbow, knee, and chest wrinkle treatments

Sculptra is also a popular choice in the creation of more muscle definition and mass in the pectorals, biceps, triceps, thighs, and glutes.

Results That Stand the Test of Time

What are the benefits of Sculptra?

With Sculptra, you can restore lost volume, soften deep wrinkles, and enhance your skin’s structure without frequent touch-ups. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which provide instant but temporary results, Sculptra works beneath the surface, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production for a gradual, long-lasting transformation. Over time, your skin becomes firmer, more youthful, and more resilient, with results that can last up to two years.

No Downtime Needed

Sculptra Recovery

There is no downtime after a Sculptra treatment. Most patients return to work and regular daily activities immediately, which makes it a convenient treatment to add to your day.

To achieve the best results, it is recommended that patients:

  • Apply a cold pack wrapped in a towel or face cloth to the treatment area for a few minutes at a time. This should be repeated for the first 24 hours to reduce any swelling at the treatment area.
  • Massage 5/5/5. Massage the treatment area 5 times a day, for 5 minutes a day, for 5 days.
  • Avoid excessive sunlight or UV lamp exposure until any swelling or redness has resolved.

It is common and expected to not notice much of a difference immediately after treatment. This is because the water carrier in Sculptra may provide a filling effect, but this water is absorbed into the body within a few days of treatment. Patients report progressive visible results within a few weeks of each treatment session and may take up to 3 to 5 months to see a noticeable difference.
