No, Sculptra is not an instant filler. While traditional fillers provide immediate volume by adding a gel-like substance, Sculptra is a biostimulator. It works by stimulating your body to produce its own collagen over time, so the results appear gradually and subtly over several months.

Most patients require a series of two to three sessions to achieve their desired results. These sessions are typically spaced about four to six weeks apart. The exact number of treatments will depend on the amount of collagen loss you have and your personalized treatment plan.

You will not see immediate results. Instead, improvements will appear gradually over a few months as your body's collagen production increases. The results from Sculptra are remarkably long-lasting, often lasting over two years. A maintenance session may be recommended to extend the benefits.

Sculptra is a minimally invasive procedure with very little downtime. You may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few days. You will be instructed to massage the treated area for five minutes, five times a day, for five days to ensure the product is evenly distributed.
