Schedule a Consultation

Overview

Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable treatment that works differently from traditional fillers — rather than filling space, it stimulates your body's own collagen production for gradual, natural-looking volumization and skin rejuvenation. Dr. Kieu uses Sculptra for full-face volume restoration, cheek hollows, and improving skin quality.

Who This Is For

  • Patients with gradual volume loss that makes them look tired or aged
  • Those wanting subtle, natural-looking improvement rather than dramatic change
  • Individuals with thin skin or early signs of facial aging
  • Patients seeking long-lasting results with fewer maintenance visits

Who This Is Not For

  • Patients wanting immediate, dramatic volumization (HA fillers are better suited)
  • Those with active autoimmune disease or on immunosuppressive therapy
  • Individuals who are not willing to undergo the recommended treatment course
  • Patients with unrealistic expectations about immediate results

The Process

1

Consultation & Planning: Dr. Kieu evaluates your facial volume loss and skin quality. A treatment plan is developed, typically requiring 2-4 sessions over several months.

2

Treatment: Sculptra is injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous plane using a specific technique to ensure even distribution. The procedure takes 20-30 minutes.

3

Collagen Stimulation: Results develop gradually over 8-12 weeks as your body produces new collagen. Each treatment builds on the previous one for cumulative improvement.

4

Maintenance: Results can last 2+ years with a complete treatment series. Occasional touch-up sessions maintain the collagen-stimulating effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Sculptra different from fillers?
Sculptra is a biostimulator, not a filler. Rather than instantly adding volume, it stimulates your own collagen to slowly restore your facial structure. Results are gradual and natural-looking.
How many sessions are needed?
Most patients need 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Dr. Kieu customizes the protocol based on your age, skin quality, and desired outcome.
How long do Sculptra results last?
Results can last 2-3 years with a full treatment series, significantly longer than traditional HA fillers. The collagen you produce is your own tissue that persists naturally.
Is there any downtime?
Minimal. Some swelling and minor bruising may occur for 1-3 days. You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
