Sculptra - Natural Collagen Rebuilding for Long-Term Volume
At One Point Six Aesthetics in Santa Cruz, we take a customized and anatomy-focused approach to facial rejuvenation using advanced dermal fillers and collagen stimulators like Sculptra & Radiesse. Every treatment is designed to enhance your existing features, helping you look more rested and balanced—never overdone.
Sculptra is a unique injectable treatment that works differently from traditional dermal fillers. Instead of simply adding volume, it stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production to gradually restore facial structure, smooth lines, and improve skin quality over time. It’s ideal for those looking for a subtle, natural-looking refresh with long-lasting results, typically lasting up to two years. Think of it as a slow and steady rejuvenation that helps your skin look healthier, firmer, and more radiant from within.

What It Treats
Facial hollowing, general volume loss, skin laxity, and signs of facial aging, such as thinning skin or sunken temples.
How It Works
Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) biostimulator that encourages your skin to rebuild its own collagen gradually. Rather than filling lines directly, it restores volume by improving your skin’s inner structure over time.
Benefits:
Subtle, progressive results that improve week by week
Stimulates your body’s own collagen production
Ideal for patients seeking a natural, low-maintenance approach
Long-lasting results, typically up to two years
Where Can Sculptra Be Used?
Sculptra is a versatile treatment designed to gradually restore volume, improve skin quality, and stimulate your own natural collagen production. Here’s where it works best:
Cheeks & Midface
Sculptra helps to restore volume loss in the cheeks, creating a natural lift and contour. This area often loses fullness with age, and Sculptra subtly brings back structure over time.
Temples & Lateral Face
Volume loss in the temples and sides of the face can create a hollow, tired & aged appearance. Sculptra adds volume gradually, helping to soften this area and restore a youthful balance.
Jawline
By stimulating collagen, Sculptra can define and strengthen the jawline, giving a firmer, more sculpted appearance without adding heaviness.
FAQs
-
Sculptra is ideal if you're looking for natural-looking, long-lasting results. Rather than simply filling lines, it works deep within the skin to stimulate your body’s own collagen production, restoring structure, volume, and firmness gradually over time. It’s perfect for those who want a refreshed look without appearing "done."
-
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Sculptra is injected with a small needle or cannula, and we always prioritize your comfort. We use topical anesthetic, cooling tools, and vibration devices to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
-
Sculptra doesn’t offer instant volume like HA fillers. Instead, it works gradually, with visible improvements often starting around 4-6 weeks after treatment. Full collagen remodeling typically continues for several months, giving you results that look fresh and natural.
-
Most patients need 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal collagen stimulation. Results improve with time and may last up to 24 months.
-
Downtime is minimal. You may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these typically subside within a few days. Most people return to normal activities the same or next day.
-
The cost of Sculptra depends on how many vials & treatments are needed and which areas you're treating. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan and provide a full quote based on your goals.
