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.
What Are the Benefits of Sculptra?
Sculptra is a popular choice among dermal fillers because of its ability to stimulate collagen production for natural, long-lasting skin rejuvenation. Some of the other benefits of Sculptra include:
- Restores lost volume under the skin
- Revitalizes the skin for a glowing appearance
- Reduces lines, wrinkles, and creases
- No surgery, scars, or downtime
- Treatments are quick and involve little to no discomfort
- Effective and FDA-approved

Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
Kimmie is a great injector. My lips look so natural.The office staff are very kind.
I am from a small town in indiana, and picked this place for my upcoming surgery. I thought a fancy place like this I would get some upty people. That was NOT the case. Everyone in this office location was wonderful. Thank you 😊
Dr. Iteld and his team are incredible. I got a gender-affirming top surgery (double mastectomy) from him and from the consult through post-op he and everyone on the care team were so amazing. I felt cared for, listened to, and respected. He did such an amazing job. I'm so so happy and I would recommend him and his team for anyone considering plastic surgery!
From beginning to end my experience with Dr. Iteld and staff was amazing.I am thrilled with my results and the care that was taken to acknowledge me for who I am.I couldn’t imagine better people to place your faith in for the outcome you’re looking for.If you are looking for top surgery you will be wholly satisfied.I can’t say enough good things and I was never encouraged to leave a review until my last appointment.I only wish I had more things to go back for!
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Dr Iteld and the entire team at. From the very first consultation, it was clear that he is not only a top surgeon, but also someone with a truly authentic and comforting bedside manner. His attention to detail is unmatched, and his expertise in his technique gave me complete confidence every step of the way.What made this journey even more exceptional was the remarkable team supporting him. Linda was my rock through the entire process—by my side every step of the way with warmth, reassurance, and unwavering support. Carrol helped guide me both before and after surgery, making sure I always knew what to expect and felt fully prepared. And Kimmy, the fantastic nurse brought exceptional skill, compassion, and care to every interaction.Together, they prepared me, educated me, and made sure I felt completely comfortable from beginning to end. Their care, compassion, and professionalism made all the difference.I highly recommend Dr Iteld and his incredible team to anyone seeking the absolute best. I will continue to trust them with all of my care in the future.

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.
