Professional Sculptra Edmonton
Sculptra Edmonton is an injectable poly‑L‑lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that gradually restores facial volume and smooths deep folds. Unlike traditional fillers that add immediate bulk, Sculptra works by encouraging your body to produce its collagen over several months.
At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre in Edmonton, we utilize Sculptra to address volume loss and deep wrinkles, enabling you to achieve subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sculptra and how does it work?
- Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a collagen-stimulating polymer used in dissolvable sutures.
- Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that add instant volume, Sculptra acts like a scaffold: microscopic PLLA particles are placed deep in the skin, where they gradually trigger fibroblasts to rebuild collagen.
- Over several weeks, your body lays new structural fibers that thicken and firm the dermis, softening folds, restoring contours, and improving skin quality.
- Treatments are performed in a series, usually two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with subtle improvement after each visit.
- Results appear naturally, without a “filled” look, and keep building for months.
- Once collagen is rebuilt, maintenance sessions help preserve lift, smoothness, and elasticity, with long-lasting, credible results.
What areas can be treated with Sculptra Edmonton?
- In the face, common areas include temples, cheeks, and mid-cheek hollows, preauricular hollows, jawline, chin, and along nasolabial and marionette shadows to soften folds and improve contours.
- It can also thicken skin for select atrophic acne scars.
- Off-label body uses include the buttocks and hip-dip contour, outer thighs, upper arms, chest, abdomen, and above the knees to reduce wrinkles and subtly lift.
- Delicate zones such as lips, tear troughs, and the glabella are generally avoided with Sculptra; hyaluronic acid fillers are preferred there.
How should I prepare for my Sculptra Edmonton treatment?
- Preparation is simple and helps reduce the risk of bruising.
- One week prior, if your prescriber agrees, avoid non-essential blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, high-dose vitamin E, fish oil, ginkgo, or garlic; never stop a prescription anticoagulant without your prescriber’s approval.
- Two to three days prior, pause retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and scrubs on treatment areas. Limit alcohol and strenuous exercise for 24 hours before.
- Tell us about pregnancy or breastfeeding, antibiotics, autoimmune flares, recent dental work, cold sores, or active skin infections—reschedule if you’re unwell.
- Arrive with clean skin, no makeup or self-tanner, and eat a small snack. We’ll review photos, goals, consent, and map injection points.
- Expect topical numbing or ice. Wear a loose-fitting collar and plan a light activity for that day afterward.
What are the best Sculptra Edmonton aftercare tips?
- Expect mild tenderness, swelling, or bruising for a few days. For comfort, apply wrapped ice for 10 minutes on and then 10 minutes off on the first day, and sleep with your head slightly elevated.
- Skip alcohol, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Cleanse gently and moisturize; avoid scrubs, retinoids, and peels for 48–72 hours.
- A classic tip is the “5-5-5” massage: using clean hands, firmly massage treated areas five times daily, five minutes each, for five days, unless your injector advises otherwise.
- This helps distribute particles and reduces temporary nodules. Do not press hard on the lips or inject near the vessels.
- Avoid facials, lasers, microneedling, or dental work for one to two weeks.
- Call us for spreading redness, significant pain, fever, hard lumps, or asymmetry that persists beyond reassurance.
Who is a good candidate for Sculptra Edmonton?
- You’re a strong candidate for Sculptra if you want gradual, natural-looking restoration of volume, firmness, and contour rather than instant filling.
- Ideal patients are healthy adults with visible facial thinning, laxity, or etched folds, who prefer subtle change over several months and can commit to a series of sessions and brief daily massage.
- You disclose medications, autoimmune history, prior fillers, and any tendency to scar, and you maintain good skincare and daily SPF.
- Not ideal now: pregnancy or breastfeeding; active infection, acne flares, or cold sores at the site; recent dental work; uncontrolled illness; severe allergies to PLLA components; or a history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring.
- Your consultation confirms candidacy, dose, and a plan aligned with your goals and budget.
When will I see results from Sculptra, and how long do they last?
- Sculptra gradually builds your collagen, so results appear in stages and last longer than most hyaluronic acid fillers.
- After a series of two to three sessions, improvement typically becomes most noticeable around three to six months as new collagen thickens the dermis and restores contours.
- Longevity averages two years or more, although the duration varies depending on the dose, number of vials, injection depth, age, sun exposure, smoking habits, and the level of expression or activity in the treated area.
- Some patients enjoy benefits for more than 30 months. Because your body continues to age, subtle maintenance—often one follow-up vial every 18–24 months—helps preserve lift and smoothness.
- Daily sunscreen, healthy habits, and skin treatments complement Sculptra’s structure for stable, natural-looking outcomes over time, with consistency and care.
