Sculptra®

Restore Volume in a Natural Way. Boost Collagen. Reveal Youthful Radiance.

At Willow Boutique Med Spa, we believe in aging in a natural way that helps you feel beautiful. Sculptra® is not a dermal filler — it’s a “biostimulator” that works with your body to gradually restore facial volume and improve skin quality by stimulating natural collagen production. Think of it as your skin’s long-term investment.

Whether you’re looking to subtly lift sagging skin, improve hollowing areas that come with age, refresh your overall appearance, or simply slow the aging process, Sculptra® offers a very natural, long-lasting solution without the “filled” look.

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an injectable treatment or dermal filler made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) — a powerful collagen stimulator that helps your skin rebuild or replenish its own structural support over time. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add immediate volume, Sculptra® gradually improves the appearance of your skin by encouraging your body to produce collagen naturally.

Treatment Areas

Cheeks

Sculptra® can restore lost volume in the mid-face, contouring and lifting the cheeks for a youthful, refreshed appearance. It’s ideal for addressing age-related hollowing or sagging.

Temples

Hollow temples are one of the subtle signs of aging. Sculptra® fills in these depressions over time, creating a smoother, more balanced facial contour.

Jawline

With collagen support, Sculptra® helps define and lift the jawline, enhancing the appearance of jowls and enhancing overall facial structure.

Smile Lines (Nasolabial Folds)

Sculptra® gradually softens deep smile lines by stimulating collagen in the area, creating smoother skin that looks and feels more youthful.

What’s the Difference Between Sculptra® and Radiesse?

Sculptra® and Radiesse are both biostimulatory injectables, but they work differently and serve unique purposes. The key difference lies in their primary ingredient and how they interact with your body.

Sculptra® is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable compound that works by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production over time. It doesn’t add immediate volume but builds progressive and continuous results that can last up to two years or more. Sculptra® is ideal for patients looking for a gradual and natural improvement in skin texture, firmness, and volume.

Radiesse, conversely, consists of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres that are suspended in a gel. While it also stimulates collagen, it offers immediate volume due to its thicker consistency. Radiesse is commonly used for more targeted lifting and contouring, particularly in the hands and lower face.
Overall, Sculptra® is best suited for full-face rejuvenation and long-term collagen rebuilding, while Radiesse offers quicker results for structural enhancement. Your provider will help determine which option aligns best with your goals, but Sculptra® is often the preferred choice for those seeking subtle, long-lasting, and natural-looking rejuvenation.
