What Is Sculptra?
As they age, many people tend to notice a loss in volume, especially around the cheeks and mid-face, creating a flat or hollow look. At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we can address volume loss using Sculptra Aesthetic, a poly-L-lactic acid injectable dermal filler that allows for longer-lasting and deeper volume replacement in the mid-face. In addition to increasing the fullness of the cheeks, Sculptra can decrease the look of shallow to deep lines and wrinkles, including the nasolabial folds (sometimes called laugh or smile lines) that start at the outside of the nose and run down to the corners of the lips. With a unique formula approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sculptra helps to increase the natural collagen production in your body so even if you stop injections, your complexion should be stronger compared to before the treatment. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Lawrence Iteld and our skin care professionals in Chicago, IL to discover the benefits of Sculptra injectable treatments.
How Does Sculptra Work?
During your consultation, we'll discuss the potential benefits of Sculptra for your skin and build out a customized treatment plan to help you attain your desired look. For the injections, we may start by applying a local anesthetic or numbing cream to minimize any discomfort you might feel. Once you are prepared, Sculptra will be injected deep beneath the skin around the selected areas of your face. For longer-lasting results, Dr. Iteld suggests a series of four Sculptra sessions at our Chicago, IL office, each done around three weeks apart.

Is SCULPTRA safe?
Yes, Sculptra has been used worldwide for over two decades. It is biocompatible, biodegradable, and FDA-approved. When administered by our skilled aesthetic nurse injector, the risks are low.
What is the difference between SCULPTRA and dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm or Restylane, offer immediate volume. Sculptra works more subtly by stimulating collagen over time, making it ideal for gradual rejuvenation and long-term results.
How long does it take to see results?
Sculptra results develop gradually. You may begin to see improvements within 4–6 weeks after your first treatment, with full results typically visible after 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
How long do SCULPTRA results last?
Results can last for 2 years or more, depending on your body’s collagen production and how well you maintain your skin health.
How much downtime can I expect after SCULPTRA?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Patients can usually return to normal activities the same day.
Who is a good candidate for SCULPTRA in Chicago?
Sculptra is ideal for individuals looking to restore facial volume loss, improve skin texture, and achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results. It is best suited for patients with healthy immune systems and realistic expectations.
Can SCULPTRA be combined with other treatments?
Many patients combine Sculptra with treatments such as Botox, lasers, microneedling, Morpheus8, or other skin tightening treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
