What Is Sculptra and How Does It Work?
Sculptra is an advanced injectable treatment made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume by adding hyaluronic acid gel, Sculptra works gradually by rebuilding the skin’s underlying structure.
Over a series of treatments, it restores facial volume, smooths deep wrinkles, and improves skin elasticity from within. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, Sculptra is used to deliver long-lasting, subtle, and natural-looking rejuvenation for clients seeking a more youthful appearance without looking overfilled.
Comparing Sculptra to Other Dermal Fillers
| Filler Type | Main Ingredient | Best For | Results Duration | How It Works | Typical Use Areas |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sculptra | Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) | Gradual collagen stimulation and volume restoration | Up to 2 years or more | Stimulates natural collagen production over time | Cheeks, temples, jawline, overall facial volume |
| Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers | Hyaluronic acid | Immediate volume and wrinkle filling | 6–18 months (depending on product) | Adds volume directly under the skin | Lips, under eyes, nasolabial folds, cheeks |
| Radiesse | Calcium hydroxylapatite | Volume loss and collagen boost in deeper areas | 12–18 months | Provides immediate volume and stimulates collagen | Cheeks, chin, jawline, hands |
| Bellafill | PMMA microspheres in collagen gel | Long-term wrinkle correction and acne scar filling | Up to 5 years | Immediate volume and long-term collagen support | Nasolabial folds, acne scars, cheeks |
What Does Sculptra Treat?
Sculptra is designed to address volume loss and deep facial wrinkles by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we use Sculptra to treat a wide range of age-related concerns, including hollow cheeks, sunken temples, jawline laxity, and deep nasolabial folds (smile lines). It’s also ideal for enhancing facial contours and achieving long-term skin firmness and structure. Sculptra is not a typical filler—it’s a regenerative solution for clients seeking gradual, natural-looking improvement that lasts for years.
In addition to facial rejuvenation, Sculptra is also used for non-surgical buttock enhancement. The BBL or Brazilian Butt Lift treatment provides a subtle lift and improves skin texture by stimulating collagen production in the gluteal area. Unlike implants, this treatment offers a natural-looking augmentation with minimal downtime.
Who Is the Best Candidate for Sculptra in Edmonton?
Sculptra is ideal for healthy adults looking to restore volume loss and improve skin firmness gradually over time. The best candidates are those with hollow cheeks, sunken temples, or deep facial folds who prefer subtle, natural-looking results rather than immediate plumping. It’s especially suited for individuals experiencing age-related facial volume loss or early signs of facial sagging.
At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we do not recommend Sculptra for those seeking quick, short-term enhancement or clients with autoimmune conditions, active skin infections, or a history of keloid scarring. A personalized consultation will determine if Sculptra is the right fit for your goals and skin type.
Sculptra Results: Before and After Pictures
After a Sculptra treatment, patients typically notice a gradual improvement in facial volume over the next 6 to 12 weeks. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which provide immediate results, Sculptra works by stimulating collagen production, offering natural and long-lasting improvements.
Most patients require 2 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, for optimal results. The results can last up to 2 years or more, making it a popular choice for those looking for long-term facial rejuvenation.

Combining Sculptra with Other Dermal Fillers
While Sculptra excels at stimulating collagen and gradually restoring overall facial volume, it can be combined with other dermal fillers for enhanced, more targeted results. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we often use hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers like Juvederm or Restylane to deliver immediate volume in specific areas—such as the lips, under eyes, or fine lines—while Sculptra works in the background to improve skin structure and firmness over time.
Combining Sculptra with HA fillers or even Radiesse allows for a balanced approach to facial rejuvenation—offering both short-term enhancement and long-lasting improvement. Our experienced team will design a customized treatment plan that layers these products strategically to achieve natural, comprehensive results tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, Sculptra is priced based on the number of vials used. A single vial is $1,000, while purchasing two vials brings the cost down to $1,800 total ($900 per vial). Most clients need 2 to 4 vials in total, depending on the severity of volume loss and treatment goals. These are often spread out over multiple sessions for optimal results. During your consultation, our experts will create a customized plan and recommend the appropriate number of vials needed to achieve natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Sculptra different from traditional fillers?

How many Sculptra sessions will I need?
Most clients require 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your age, skin condition, and the volume of correction needed. During your consultation, we’ll create a customized plan tailored to your goals.
When will I see results from Sculptra?
Sculptra results appear gradually, with visible improvements starting 6 to 12 weeks after your first session. Full results develop over a few months as your collagen rebuilds, offering subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation.
How long do Sculptra results last?
Sculptra is known for its longevity. Results can last up to 2 years or more, making it one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these effects usually resolve within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities immediately.
When Sculptra May Not Be the Right Choice
- You are looking for immediate results—Sculptra builds volume gradually over several weeks to months.
- You want a very specific or sharply defined contour that may be better suited to hyaluronic acid fillers or surgical procedures.
- You are not comfortable with multiple sessions—Sculptra usually requires 2 to 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- You expect dramatic changes after a single treatment—Sculptra is designed for subtle, natural-looking improvement over time.
- You have a special event within the next few weeks and want quick enhancement—Sculptra is best for long-term planning, not last-minute fixes.
