Sculptra®
Encourage Natural Collagen Production for the Face and More in Horsham and Newtown, PA

Since Sculptra® is injectable, no incisions or sutures are necessary. Treatments can be handled entirely at The Well Lounge in a matter of minutes, and no special follow-up is needed. Collagen-building cells will get to work on their own, resulting in a gradual but noticeable improvement thanks to the body’s own ability to restore itself.

What Can Sculptra® Treat?
Sculptra® is designed specifically to address age-related volume loss, which is a cosmetic problem that typically begins when a person reaches their 20s. While collagen is plentiful in the skin of children and teenagers, it starts to diminish as production slows each year after a couple of decades of life. Up to a quarter of it can be gone by the time a person reaches age 45, resulting in noticeable facial changes and deflation.
By reinvigorating the collagen-making process in specialized cells, Sculptra®stores more youthful lines and contours. It is FDA approved to reduce facial lines, such as nasolabial folds, that range from shallow to deep in terms of severity.
A Natural Butt Lift
Sculptra® can also be injected into strategic areas on the buttocks to prompt volume-enhancing collagen production there. Women and men who have seen their backside flatten over time can enjoy rounder contours once again. The injectable treatment can also provide a subtle enhancement for people whose buttocks have always been naturally flat or small and who want a little more “oomph.”
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Sculptra® is a gel injected at a precise depth. Its active ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid, which is a collagen stimulator. The true lasting benefit comes from renewed collagen production that starts in the deep layers of the skin. As collagen molecules grow in number, they improve the skin’s structure from the inside out. Over time, the surface looks smoother, fuller, stronger, and more resilient.

What Does a Sculptra® Session Involve?
Since there are many cosmetic treatments to choose from, anyone who is seeking a specific aesthetic outcome starts their journey with a consultation at The Well Lounge. We can listen to your goals while assessing the current condition of your skin, then recommend a personalized treatment strategy.
Sculptra® is injected with care, targeting the skin layer where collagen fibers create a supportive structure. Options for reducing sensation during this injection process can be discussed during the consultation, but know that the treatment is well tolerated and is often described as nothing more than the feeling of a slight pinch.
What Happens After a Sculptra® Treatment?
Expect some typical injection-related side effects, such as redness and swelling, itching, tenderness, bruising, and hardness. These are all common and resolved without any need for special care or intervention.
The poly-L-lactic acid in a Sculptra® injection is gradually absorbed by the body, which response by activating collagen-building cells. This is a gradual process, with collagen levels rising over weeks and months. The average patient needs three rounds of injections, spaced roughly one month apart, in order to achieve their ideal results. The rejuvenated contours have been shown in studies to last up to two years.
What Other Injectables Are Available at The WellLounge?
Similar to Sculptra®, Radiesse® is a collagen stimulator, but with a focus on the face and backs of the hands. Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Belotero Balance® address signs of aging on the face, using a hyaluronic acid-based gel to restore lost volume and address nasolabial folds and more.
Other lines caused by muscle activity related to facial expressions don’t need collagen or hyaluronic acid for improvement. Instead, relaxing the muscles in question gives the face a more youthful look. We use BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® to achieve this effect.
