What Is Sculptra?
At Embrace Eternal Beauty, we believe true beauty is not injected—it is awakened. Under the guidance of Dr. John Mark Pabona, MD FACP ABIM, Sculptra works beneath the surface to gently restore volume and enhance your skin’s natural structure. This FDA-approved collagen stimulator rebuilds facial fullness from within, creating natural contour, lift, and firmness that emerges gradually and lasts beautifully.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra restores youthful structure by stimulating your skin’s own collagen production, rather than filling or plumping the surface. Once injected into targeted areas, the poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microparticles begin a gradual remodeling process beneath the dermis. Over the following weeks, the treatment activates fibroblasts, strengthens the skin’s internal matrix, and rebuilds foundational support that has weakened over time.
This deliberate, biologically driven process creates natural lift, improved firmness, and smoother facial contours that continue to refine quietly and beautifully—without looking overdone.
- Injection Phase: PLLA microparticles are placed strategically into areas of volume loss.
- Stimulation Phase: Over several weeks, fibroblasts are activated and collagen begins to increase.
- Rebuilding Phase: The dermis strengthens and thickens, restoring foundational support.
- Results Phase: Improvements continue to develop over 8 to 12 weeks and can last up to 2 years or longer.
Benefits of Sculptra
Sculptra enhances facial structure by stimulating your own collagen production, creating a refreshed, natural appearance without looking overfilled. As collagen gradually rebuilds, the skin becomes firmer, thicker, and more elastic, improving overall luminosity and texture.
This subtle lift restores support in the temples, cheeks, jawline, and smile lines — refining balance globally across the face. With minimal downtime and results that often last two years or longer, Sculptra delivers long-lasting radiance that evolves quietly and elegantly over time.

Areas Sculptra Can Treat
Sculptra is ideal for restoring global facial support in areas where collagen naturally declines with age. It can refine hollowing in the temples, enhance midface structure, soften smile lines, and improve contour along the jawline and lower face. By rebuilding collagen gradually, it supports balanced, natural looking rejuvenation throughout the face.
How Long Does Sculptra Last?
Sculptra results develop gradually as collagen rebuilds, with improvements visible from 6 to 12 weeks. Once full correction is achieved, results typically last up to two years, sometimes longer depending on your collagen response.
