Frequently Asked Question

Q: How many treatments are required?

A: Your healthcare provider will decide the appropriate number of treatment sessions and the amount of Sculptra® you will need at each session. Patients with severe facial fat loss may require 3 to 6 treatment sessions.

Lasting Results

The effects of Sculptra® are enduring. In a clinical study, effects lasted for up to 2 years after the first treatment session in most patients. The results from Sculptra® are not immediate; Sculptra® provides a gradual increase in skin thickness. Your healthcare provider will see you again in a few weeks to decide if additional injections are needed. Touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired effects.

People with mild lipoatrophy will require fewer treatments than those with severe lipoatrophy.

Areas of the face treated with Sculptra® in clinical studies

Sculptra® is injected into the skin for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

You should not use Sculptra® if you are allergic to any ingredient of Sculptra®. Sculptra® should not be injected while you have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area.

Side effects of Sculptra® may include the delayed appearance of small bumps under the skin in the treated area. Generally these bumps are not visible and may only be noticed when pressing on the treated area. Other side effects may include injection-related events at the site of injection, such as bleeding, tenderness or discomfort, redness, bruising or swelling.
