Restore Lost Volume with Sculptras
If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond and starting to notice that your face looks less full, maybe a little more tired or drawn, it’s not your imagination. Volume loss is one of the most common and frustrating signs of aging, and it often happens before wrinkles ever show up. You might feel like you look older than you feel, or like your reflection doesn’t quite match your energy. That disconnect can be discouraging, but it’s also completely fixable.
At EllEve Med Spa in Woodland Hills, CA, we offer Sculptra as a non-surgical solution to restore volume, rebuild structure, and subtly reshape the contours of your face and body. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly what Sculptra is, how it works, what areas it can treat (including off-label options like the buttocks), and what you can expect from your results. You’ll learn how this biostimulator taps into your body’s natural collagen production to deliver long-term, natural-looking improvement, without the puffiness or “filler face” you might be trying to avoid.
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a substance that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra works by encouraging your body to rebuild its own structure over time. This gradual process leads to subtle, yet transformative improvements in volume, skin thickness, and firmness. It’s ideal for patients looking for a soft lift and long-term improvement rather than immediate but temporary plumping.
Sculptra treatments go beyond just filling lines. Because it works on a cellular level to stimulate collagen, it improves the quality of your skin and restores youthful fullness where it's been lost. Results appear gradually, often over the course of a few months, but they last far longer than traditional fillers.
Key Benefits:
Sculptra is incredibly versatile. While it was initially approved for facial volume loss, it is now widely used off-label to enhance other parts of the body as well.
Sculptra is ideal for individuals who want a gradual, natural-looking improvement in facial or body contouring without looking like they had work done. Good candidates typically include those who are noticing signs of volume loss or skin thinning and want a solution that lasts.

Sculptra is especially effective for treating:
During your consultation at EllEve Med Spa, we take the time to understand your goals and evaluate your facial structure or body area of concern. Your provider will discuss what Sculptra can realistically achieve and how many sessions you may need. Preparation is minimal, but we recommend avoiding alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and heavy exercise for at least 24 hours prior to treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
Each session begins with a thorough cleansing of the treatment area. A topical numbing cream is usually applied for comfort, and Sculptra is then injected using a fine needle or cannula, depending on the area. Most appointments take around 30 to 60 minutes. Sculptra is often administered over a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart to build up collagen gradually and achieve optimal volume and contour.
Results won’t appear overnight—and that’s a good thing. Sculptra works gradually, with visible improvements typically becoming noticeable within 4-6 weeks of the first session. The full effect can take a few months to develop, but often lasts up to 24 months or more.
After treatment, you may experience minor swelling, redness, or bruising. You’ll be advised to massage the area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to ensure even product distribution. You should avoid intense workouts, direct sun exposure, and alcohol for 24-48 hours post-treatment. Most people resume normal activities immediately.
