Restore collagen. Restore structure. Restore confidence.
Sculptra® is a unique collagen-stimulating injectable that gradually restores facial structure, improves skin quality, and enhances selected areas of the body by encouraging your own natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works over time to rebuild your skin's underlying support, creating subtle, natural-looking results that continue to improve over the following months.
At Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics, every Sculptra treatment is customized to your anatomy, degree of collagen loss, and aesthetic goals. Whether you are looking to restore youthful facial contours, improve skin quality, or enhance selected areas of the body, treatment plans are designed to achieve balanced, long-lasting results.
Sculptra is FDA-approved for correction of facial wrinkles and volume loss. It is an excellent option for patients seeking gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation without appearing overfilled. Treatment may be used to improve facial support, soften age-related volume loss, enhance jawline definition, improve the temples, and restore youthful facial contours while stimulating new collagen production.
Sculptra may also be used to enhance the appearance of the buttocks by stimulating collagen production and gradually improving volume and contour. This non-surgical approach may improve hip dips, enhance projection, and create smoother body contours for patients seeking subtle enhancement without implants or fat transfer. Body applications are considered off-label and are customized based on each patient's goals.
In addition to facial rejuvenation, Sculptra can be used in selected body areas to improve skin quality, collagen support, and crepey skin. Common treatment areas may include the chest (décolletage), above the knees, upper arms, inner thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and other areas demonstrating collagen loss or skin laxity. Treatment plans are individualized based on your anatomy and desired outcome.
Every Sculptra treatment is physician performed and carefully customized. Rather than simply replacing lost volume, treatment focuses on restoring collagen, improving skin quality, and creating natural facial and body harmony. Depending on your goals, Sculptra may be combined with dermal fillers, PRP or PRP Gel, PDO threads, or other rejuvenation treatments as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Sculptra is placed across a treatment area rather than into a single point, so a session involves several passes with a fine needle. Patients commonly describe a pinch at each entry point followed by a spreading sensation as the product is distributed beneath the skin. The temples and jawline are generally reported as more sensitive than the mid-face.
Because Sculptra is diluted before use, the volume placed is noticeable, and an area can feel full or heavy immediately afterward. Tenderness, mild swelling and occasional bruising over the following days are usual, and the treated area can be sore to touch for a short while. How much of this registers differs between people. Comfort options for injectable treatments can be discussed at your consultation, where the staging of your sessions is also explained before you agree to anything.
Sculptra is priced by the vial and planned as a course rather than a single appointment. That makes its cost a schedule as much as a number.
Because the series is spread across months, the cost is spread with it. Your consultation is complimentary and it ends with a plan and the cost of that plan, not a figure attached to a package. The Restore membership carries a collagen-stimulating credit and member pricing on Sculptra, and Cherry, Affirm and CareCredit can carry a longer course. The vial count follows your anatomy, and you see it before you agree to anything.

Sculptra is priced by the vial and planned as a series, so the cost depends on how much collagen loss there is, how many areas are treated and how many sessions the course runs to. Because sessions are spaced across months, the cost is staged with them. Your complimentary consultation ends with the plan and its cost.
