At Kristina O’Shaughnessy, MD, you’ll receive personalized care that supports natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation, perfect for addressing smile lines, hollow cheeks, and age-related facial volume loss.
Rebuild Collagen for Youthful-Looking Skin
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike HA fillers that add immediate volume, Sculptra gradually restores structure and fullness by rebuilding the skin’s underlying support system. It’s especially effective for treating deep facial wrinkles, hollow cheeks, and volume loss caused by aging. Over a series of treatments, Sculptra helps you achieve a refreshed look that develops gradually and lasts up to two years.
What Does Sculptra Treat?
- Deep nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines around the mouth
- Chin wrinkles and creases
- Hollow or sunken cheeks
- Volume loss in the temples
- Facial contour irregularities
- Skin laxity due to aging
- General facial volume loss over time
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra works by using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that stimulates your skin’s collagen production. Once injected beneath the skin, PLLA microparticles trigger a controlled inflammatory response, activating fibroblasts to generate new collagen over time.
This newly formed collagen gradually rebuilds the skin’s structural framework, restoring volume and improving elasticity. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra’s results appear gradually as your body regenerates collagen, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin that can last up to two years or longer.

What Happens During Sculptra Treatment?
Your Sculptra treatment begins with a consultation to assess your facial structure and goals. On the day of treatment, Dr. O’Shaughnessy will cleanse the area and apply a topical anesthetic for comfort. Sculptra is carefully injected into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula, strategically placed to stimulate collagen production. The session typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. You may experience mild swelling or redness, but there’s no downtime.
What Are the Expected Results From Sculptra?
With Sculptra, you’ll notice results gradually as your body builds new collagen over several weeks. Most patients begin to see visible improvement after the second treatment, with the full results typically developing over 3 to 6 months. This natural progression enables subtle, refined changes that enhance your facial contours without appearing overdone. Once achieved, the results can last up to two years or longer, depending on your age and lifestyle.
