Lift. Sculpt. Restore. No surgery.
Looking for a subtle lift, enhanced curves, or firmer skin — without surgery or downtime? At Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics, we offer Sculptra Non-Surgical BBL to naturally enhance your body's shape while stimulating your own collagen for long-lasting, graceful results.
This page covers Sculptra used below the neck. If your interest is facial volume, temples, jawline definition or skin quality on the face, that is covered on our Sculptra facial rejuvenation page.
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid that works beneath the skin to stimulate your body's natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra doesn't provide instant volume — instead, it gradually restores volume and tightens skin over time, giving you a more natural, lifted appearance.
At Ivy Wellness, we use Sculptra to:
Sculptra is FDA-approved for the correction of facial wrinkles and volume loss. Its use below the neck is considered off-label and is customized to each patient's goals following a physician assessment.
Sculptra is ideal for anyone seeking:
This treatment suits patients looking for a safe, physician-performed alternative to Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, with no general anesthesia, no scars, and no long recovery period.
Body Sculptra is a staged treatment, and staging is where it either works or disappoints. Dr. Ivy Lawson is a double board-certified vascular and interventional radiologist; she plans the number of vials, the intervals between sessions and the depth of placement around your own anatomy, and where depth matters the placement can be confirmed with ultrasound from the Ivy Ultrasound Center. You will also be told plainly what collagen stimulation can and cannot do for your particular starting point.
Body plans frequently combine treatments. Sculptra adds volume and firmness; injectable fat dissolving reduces small stubborn deposits; PDO threads add support and collagen in selected areas; and RF microneedling works on skin quality at the surface. Patients come to our Flamingo Road practice from Cooper City, Davie, Weston, Pembroke Pines and Southwest Ranches, and staged collagen plans are covered by Ivy Wellness memberships.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Sculptra injections. The procedure involves using fine needles, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to reduce any potential pain. Patients usually describe the sensation as a slight pinch or pressure.
Sensitivity differs from person to person and between treatment areas. If discomfort is a concern for you, raise it at your complimentary consultation — it is a normal thing to ask and it changes how the appointment is planned.
The same rule applies here as on the face: Sculptra is priced by the vial and planned as a series. The arithmetic is simply different, because the buttocks are a far larger area than a cheek and collagen has to be built across all of it.
Body use of Sculptra is off-label and individualized, which is exactly why it should never be bought from a price list. Your complimentary consultation covers whether you are a candidate at all, how many sessions a result realistically needs, and what that costs, before you commit to any of it. Membership pricing applies on the collagen-stimulating side, and financing is there so a staged series can follow the clinical timeline.
A Sculptra BBL is a non-surgical approach to buttock and hip enhancement. Rather than transferring fat or placing an implant, poly-L-lactic acid is injected to stimulate your own collagen, so volume and contour build gradually over the following months.

Sculptra is a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, and prolonged sun exposure for a few days following the treatment to ensure optimal results.
Initial results can be seen within a month, with continued improvements as collagen production increases over 6 months. The effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 years, but this varies based on individual factors such as metabolism and skin type.
Sculptra is considered safe and well-tolerated. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects usually resolve on their own within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as lumps or granulomas may occur. Potential risks and side effects are discussed with you during your consultation.
Avoid aspirin, NSAIDs and other blood-thinning medications for a week before your treatment. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the procedure. Arrive with clean skin, and inform your injector about any medications or supplements you are taking.
Apply ice packs to the treated areas for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling. Gently massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, five times a day, for the first five days after treatment. Avoid hot baths, saunas and intense exercise for a few days. Drink plenty of water to support collagen production, and attend any follow-up appointments as recommended.
Body treatment covers a far larger area than the face, so the cost depends on the degree of change you are after, your starting anatomy and how many sessions the series takes. Body use of Sculptra is off-label and individualized, which is why it is never quoted from a price list. You get the plan and its cost at your complimentary consultation.
