Sculptra at Seaport Medspa

A Patient-Focused Approach

​

At Seaport Medspa, Sculptra® treatments are guided by a patient-first philosophy. Providers evaluate facial anatomy and design treatment plans that build gradual, natural improvements in facial structure and skin quality.

​

The Science Behind Sculptra

​

Unlike dermal fillers that add volume directly, Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production. Its active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, is a biocompatible material long used in medical applications. Once injected, Sculptra encourages collagen growth, reinforcing the skin’s underlying structure and restoring youthful fullness over time. Results are not immediate, but they develop gradually, mimicking the body’s natural aging reversal process.

​

The Treatment Experience

​

Sculptra injections typically take 30 minutes or less. A fine needle or cannula is used to deliver small amounts into the targeted areas. Most patients require a series of treatments, usually two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart. Mild swelling or tenderness can occur but typically resolves quickly.

​

Expected Results

​

Because Sculptra stimulates collagen production, results appear gradually over a few months. Patients notice subtle improvements in volume, skin firmness, and smoothness, with outcomes continuing to build over time. The results are long-lasting, often maintained for up to two years with proper treatment planning.

​

Safety and Research

​

Sculptra has been FDA-approved since 2009 and has a strong safety record supported by clinical studies. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, such as swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. Rare risks—such as the development of small nodules—are minimized by treatment with experienced providers trained in advanced techniques.

Areas of Treatment

​

Sculptra is commonly used to restore volume in the midface, cheeks, temples, and jawline, and to soften smile lines and marionette lines. Because it builds collagen, it can improve overall skin quality and facial balance in a gradual, natural-looking way.
