Sculptra
Boost Natural Collagen for a Long-Lasting Rejuvenation
Sculptra is not your typical filler. It is a unique injectable treatment that works with your body to gradually restore volume and stimulate collagen production over time. Rather than providing instant plumping like traditional fillers, Sculptra improves skin structure from within, leading to natural-looking results that can last up to two years or more.
At Refresh Aesthetics in Roosevelt, Utah, we are proud to offer Sculptra to clients in our local community and the surrounding Vernal area. If you are looking for a subtle, long-lasting solution to volume loss, fine lines, or skin laxity, Sculptra may be the perfect fit for you.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. When injected into targeted areas, Sculptra works gradually to restore lost facial volume and improve the skin’s overall tone and texture.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, the results from Sculptra appear gradually over the weeks that follow your treatment as collagen builds. This leads to a more refreshed and youthful appearance without looking overfilled or artificial.

What Conditions Do Sculptra Treat?
Dermal fillers are often chosen to address common signs of aging and areas of volume loss. They can soften wrinkles and folds such as smile lines and marionette lines, restore fullness to hollow cheeks and under-eye areas, and enhance thin or uneven lips. Fillers are also effective for contouring the jawline, reducing the appearance of scars, and improving overall facial balance.
What to Expect at Your Sculptra Appointment
Your Sculptra® treatment begins with a personalized consultation, during which we discuss your aesthetic goals and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs. During the procedure, fine needles ensure precise injection of Sculptra® Aesthetic into the targeted areas. The injections are quick, often taking only 15 to 30 minutes, and you may experience minimal discomfort. Afterward, you can expect some initial fullness in the treated areas, with the full effects developing gradually as collagen production increases, which typically develops over a period of 3 to 6 months.

Sculptra FAQs
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients need a series of 2 to 3 Sculptra treatments, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the best results. Because Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your own collagen production, results continue to improve over time. Your provider at Refresh Aesthetics will create a personalized plan based on your unique goals and the areas being treated.
How soon will I see results?
You may notice some immediate fullness right after treatment due to slight swelling, but this fades within a few days. The true results of Sculptra develop gradually over several weeks as your body produces new collagen, with continued improvement over the following months for a natural and long-lasting outcome.
How long do the results last?
The results of Sculptra are long-lasting because they come from your body’s own collagen production. Most clients enjoy their refreshed look for up to two years or more. Periodic maintenance treatments can help extend and sustain these natural-looking results.
Is Sculptra safe?
Yes, Sculptra is FDA-approved and has been safely used for many years in aesthetic medicine. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that is naturally absorbed by the body as it stimulates collagen production. Side effects are typically mild, such as temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, and these usually resolve within a few days. When performed by trained injectors at Refresh Aesthetics, Sculptra is a safe and effective treatment for natural-looking results.
Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Sculptra can be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance your results. Many clients choose to pair it with services like Botox or Dysport for wrinkle relaxation, dermal fillers for added volume, or skin treatments such as Morpheus8 Burst or Alma Opus to improve texture and tone. Your provider at Refresh Aesthetics will create a customized treatment plan that aligns with your goals for a balanced, natural-looking outcome.
