You might be debating dermal fillers versus Sculptra, as both restore volume lost with age and give a plump, healthy look to your skin. Patients might prefer Sculptra as it is a regenerative treatment, meaning that it stimulates the body’s own natural collagen and elastin production (rather than filling with gel). The results are gradual, subtle, and long-lasting.

“I could barely even feel the injections!”

“Jess is amazing at what she does! She truly cares about her clients and their cosmetic goals! Also the numbing cream she used on me worked so good I could barely even feel the injections. Can’t wait to go back!”
“She was able to give her professional opinion but didn’t pressure anything!”
- Casey D.
"Had a consult today with Jess. She is PHENOMENAL!! We came up with a treatment plan and I’m so happy already. Also she’s so educated on everything. She explained what was going on and why and what I would expect. And she is so thorough, and I seriously appreciated it. Look no further she works wonders. Can’t wait to come back!”
“She really takes the time to listen to my skin concerns and fully explains everything in detail.”
- Kitty S.
“Jess is the best! She is extremely skilled and professional and truly cares about her clients. Her office is gorgeous and spotless, while also being comfortable and welcoming. I’ve been going to her for awhile now and have loved my results each time. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my skin care needs, once you have the best care with Jess, you won’t want to go anywhere else!”
Most dermal fillers work by adding volume directly to a specific area, filling with hyaluronic acid and seeing immediate results. Rather than filling, Sculptra rebuilds using an active ingredient called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA): a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that stimulates your body's own collagen production when injected.
Over the weeks and months following treatment, your skin gradually rebuilds the collagen framework it has lost over time. The result is improved volume, firmer skin, and healthier overall texture in a way that looks incredibly natural because your body helped create it!
Sculptra offers whole-face collagen restoration that improves multiple concerns simultaneously, rather than treating specific areas at a time.
Beyond volume, Sculptra improves overall skin quality by increasing firmness, thickness, and elasticity in areas where collagen loss has occurred.
Sculptra addresses deeper facial lines, like nasolabial folds and marionette lines, by rebuilding the collagen framework beneath them rather than simply filling over them.
Deep Facial Lines & Folds
Sculptra gradually restores lost volume in the cheeks that causes the face to look less defined and more tired for a naturally lifted, more youthful mid-face.
Mid-Face & Cheeks
Hollow temples are a sign of significant volume loss that can make the face look gaunt or aged. Sculptra rebuilds temple volume gradually for a fuller, more balanced facial shape.
Temples
A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment. Sculptra is injected using a fine needle or cannula (a blunt, flexible tool alternative to needles), followed by massage to ensure even distribution. Most appointments take 30–45 minutes.
AFTER
Some swelling, redness, or bruising is normal and temporary.
You’ll follow the 5-5-5 massage rule: massage treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. We’ll explain everything clearly before you leave so you feel confident caring for your results.
Avoid strenuous exercise and heat for 24 hours.
BEFORE
Your provider will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan. Most patients require 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. To minimize bruising, avoid blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol for 24–48 hours before each appointment.
DURING
At Modern Medspa, we’re also honest about what Sculptra can do and what it can’t. It’s not an overnight treatment, and it’s not the right fit for every goal. That’s why we’ll answer your questions, talk through the treatment series, and help you decide whether the timeline, investment, and expected results truly make sense for you. Because confidence in your results starts with confidence in your choices. We stand by that, always.
We love Sculptra for the right patient because it reflects so much of how we think about skin health: support what the body already knows how to do, choose treatments backed by science, and prioritize results that age well over time.
