Question 1

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

On average, you will have 2 to 3 treatment sessions over the course of a few months. The number of injections at each session will vary based on the treatment plan determined by you and your aesthetic professional.

Question 2

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most clinical study participants saw results as soon as 1 month, with sustained results for up to 2 years. Work with your aesthetics professional on a treatment plan. Typical treatment is 3 sessions spaced at least 3 to 4 weeks apart.

Question 3

What can I expect for post-op care?

Accepted Answer

Massage the treated area to evenly distribute Sculptra. A good rule of thumb is 5-5-5: Massage the injected area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days in a row.

Question 4

What can I expect after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Besides swelling and some bruising, allergic reactions and side-effects are extremely rare. It’s important for a potential client to discuss their known allergies or medication with the aesthetic provider.

Question 5

How soon after treatment can I wear makeup?

Accepted Answer

If there are no complications, you may apply makeup several hours after treatment. Be sure to consult your aesthetic provider after treatment.

Question 6

Is Sculptra safe? What are the side effects?

Accepted Answer

Sculptra is FDA-approved in the United States and has been used worldwide since 1999. Sculptra is made of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid that is absorbed naturally by the body and has been used for years in dissolvable stitches.

Since Sculptra does not contain any human or animal components, no allergy testing is needed prior to treatments.

Side effects reported include injection site pain, redness, bruising, tenderness, itching and lumps, bleeding, and swelling. Small bumps under the skin can sometimes be noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Larger lumps, with or without inflammation, have also been reported.

The types and duration of side effects may vary. If you are experiencing side effects, talk to your doctor. Please read our complete Important Safety Information.

Question 7

Sculptra BBL vs. Surgery

Accepted Answer

A Brazilian Butt Lift with Sculptra is a straightforward procedure to get done. There is no liposuction required, no healing/soreness from fat harvest, no need to sit on donuts, or in some cases, “avoid sitting at all costs.” Sculptra injections can be done in about 30 minutes to an hour, are nearly painless, and have no downtime except for bruising with results lasting for years. A surgical BBL carries high risks, requires weeks to recover, restrictions on exercise/sitting, and sometimes need “redos”.

Question 8

Who can inject Sculptra?

Accepted Answer

Specialists who have been trained to inject Sculptra and are licensed to practice within the state may administer treatment. This can include physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and other trained personnel.

Galderma offers an extensive training program, because we believe that proper injection technique and aftercare are crucial to optimizing patient outcomes.

Training sessions are led by experienced Sculptra specialists around the country, offering a unique opportunity for aesthetic providers to learn from their peers in a hands-on forum. The training program undergoes continuous observation and refinement to help optimize patient outcomes.

Question 9

How much does Sculptra cost?

Accepted Answer

There are several factors that figure into how much treatment will cost, including:

• Number of treatment sessions needed

• Number of Sculptra vials used per session

• Degree of necessary correction determined by you and your specialist

• Discounts and special offers

Since injection costs will vary from person to person, the best way to determine projected costs is to consult your aesthetic provider. Average treatment session costs can range from $800 to $6,400.

Comparing the cost of facial rejuvenation options can be challenging, because so much depends on desired results, the amount of product your aesthetic provider recommends, your response to treatment, and the amount of time results last.

A facial filler treatment that lasts 3 to 6 months may cost less up-front than one that lasts much longer, but it will generally require additional treatment sessions to maintain the effect for the same duration as one longer-lasting treatment. You may want to consider the total cost over time.

Coupon or rebate programs through Galderma and/or a specialist may be available from time to time. It’s a good idea to ask your specialist if there’s a discount program available at the time of consultation. We highly recommend joining ASPIRE Galderma Rewards, our loyalty program that rewards you with special points, offers, and rewards for every Galderma aesthetic treatment you receive—not just Sculptra.
