Collagen-Boosting Rejuvenation for Firmer, Smoother Skin
If your skin has started to lose volume, structure, or that natural youthful glow, Sculptra may offer the subtle yet long-lasting lift you’re looking for. At True Jewel Cosmetic Center in Venice, we offer expert Sculptra facial rejuvenation to help restore volume, improve skin texture, and support long-term collagen production.
This unique injectable works gradually, triggering your body’s own collagen regeneration process to create firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume directly, Sculptra works beneath the surface to rebuild the skin’s foundation for natural, lasting results.
Our team customizes each Sculptra treatment based on your skin type, aging concerns, and facial structure. The goal is always the same: to help you look refreshed, not altered. With consistent care and a personalized plan, many clients see noticeable improvements that last up to two years.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that stimulates collagen growth deep within the skin. Collagen is the essential protein that gives skin its firmness and structure, but we lose about 1% of it each year starting in our 20s. That gradual decline leads to hollow areas, fine lines, and loose skin.
Sculptra doesn’t simply fill wrinkles—it encourages your body to rebuild lost collagen naturally. Once injected, Sculptra works over time to thicken the skin and restore lost volume. Results appear gradually over several weeks and continue to improve with each session.
Most people require a series of two to three treatments spaced a few weeks apart. The improvements last well beyond the treatment period, with clinical results showing benefits for up to 24 months.
How Sculptra Stimulates Collagen
Sculptra works by activating your skin’s natural regenerative process. Once injected into the targeted area, the PLLA particles begin to stimulate collagen growth within the dermis. This increase in collagen helps restore skin density, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve overall texture.
The treatment does not provide instant results like dermal fillers. Instead, the process unfolds slowly and steadily as your body produces new collagen over several weeks. Many clients begin to notice subtle improvements within the first month, with continued enhancement for several months after their final session.
This gradual transformation leads to more natural-looking outcomes. Because the results develop in stages, you avoid any overly dramatic or obvious changes, making Sculptra an ideal option for people who want to age gracefully.
Where Sculptra Can Be Used
Sculptra is most commonly used to treat areas of facial volume loss and skin laxity. Some of the most popular treatment areas include:
Cheeks: Adds volume, smooths fine lines, and enhances facial contours
Smile lines (nasolabial folds): Softens creases that run from the nose to the mouth
Marionette lines: Reduces downward lines extending from the corners of the mouth
Jawline: Improves definition and helps lift sagging skin
Temples: Restores fullness in areas that may appear hollow with age
Sculptra is not used around the eyes or lips, but it pairs well with other treatments to rejuvenate the full face. Your True Jewel practitioner will create a custom plan based on your individual goals and facial anatomy.
Who Makes a Good Candidate for Sculptra?
Sculptra may be a good choice if you’re looking for:
- Gradual, natural-looking results
- Long-term improvement in skin texture and volume
- A non-surgical alternative to lifting or tightening the skin
- A collagen-boosting treatment with subtle progression
- A solution for mild to moderate facial volume loss
This treatment is suitable for most healthy adults. It may not be recommended if you have a history of keloid scarring, active skin infections in the treatment area, or autoimmune conditions that affect healing.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should delay treatment until a later time. During your consultation, we’ll go over your full medical history to ensure Sculptra is a safe and appropriate option for you.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Treatment
Before Treatment
To get the best results and minimize side effects:
- Stop taking blood-thinning supplements and medications (like fish oil or aspirin) for a few days beforehand
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine the day before your appointment
- Stay well-hydrated and eat a light snack before arriving
- Let us know about any skin sensitivities or recent changes to your health
During Treatment
Sculptra treatments typically take 30 to 45 minutes. Your practitioner will map out the injection sites and use a fine needle or cannula to deliver the product beneath the skin.
A topical numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort, though most clients tolerate the procedure well. The injections are spaced strategically to promote even collagen growth.
Afterward, your face may feel slightly tender or swollen, but there is no required downtime. You can return to most normal activities immediately.
Sculptra Aftercare
Post-treatment care is important for achieving even, lasting results. We recommend:
- Massaging the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days
- Avoiding direct sun exposure and excessive heat (e.g., saunas, hot yoga) for 24 to 48 hours
- Skipping alcohol, strenuous workouts, or facial treatments for a few days
- Using a gentle moisturizer and avoiding harsh skincare products for a week
Some temporary swelling, bruising, or redness is expected. These effects usually fade within a few days. We’ll walk you through detailed aftercare instructions so you can feel confident going into and after your treatment.
How Long Do Sculptra Results Last?
Sculptra offers one of the longest-lasting results among non-surgical facial treatments. After a full course of treatments, improvements can last up to two years, depending on your skin health, lifestyle, and how well you maintain your results.
You’ll typically see noticeable improvement within 4 to 6 weeks of your first session, with continued enhancement as collagen builds. Many clients reach their full result after two to three appointments spaced several weeks apart.
To maintain your look over time, we may recommend annual touch-ups based on how your skin responds. We’ll guide you through a personalized schedule that supports your goals without overdoing it.

What are the side effects of the Sculptra facial rejuvenation treatment?
Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur and typically resolve in a few days. Rarely, small lumps may form but usually resolve on their own or with massage.

Sculptra is not recommended if you have a history of keloid scarring, active skin infections, or autoimmune issues. It should also be avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
How do I care for my skin after Sculptra?
