  • Depot: The Sculptra will be administered in smaller doses to address the temples and upper zygoma areas.
  • Retrograde fanning: The Sculptra will be administered via cannula deeper into the tissue. It is recommended for the chest area.

Where Are the Incisions and Scars for Sculptra?

One of the benefits of using Sculptra is that it is a minimally invasive treatment—there are no incisions or scarring involved! Sculptra will be administered non-surgically via needles or cannulas that penetrate the skin to directly target the treatment area, adding volume contour and stimulating the skin’s natural collagen production system.

A Sculptra injection may result in mild pain, swelling, or redness, but these side effects should be reduced soon after treatment.
