Sculptra
in Salt Lake City
At Nuance, we use Sculptra to support long-term skin quality over temporary fixes. Unlike traditional fillers that provide an instant, gel-like substance "fill," Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that helps your skin produce collagen over time.
At our Salt Lake City clinic, we specialize in this slow-and-steady approach, leveraging our deep understanding of facial anatomy to deliver a more youthful appearance that looks and feels authentic to you. Our 100+ years of collective experience allow us to master the specific injection technique required to achieve optimal results with this unique collagen stimulator.

Works by using poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate collagen production deep within the dermis.

Results emerge over several weeks to a few months, offering a completely natural-looking transition.
An FDA-approved treatment with a long history in investigational dermatology for treating facial volume loss.
Sculptra® is an injectable cosmetic filler injected deep into the dermis to gradually improve the treated area. It is used to restore facial volume loss due to aging or illness. Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production. Sculptra can be used to treat deep lines, creases, and folds to give you a more youthful appearance.
On the day of your procedure, your provider will map out the targeted areas where volume has been lost. The Sculptra is injected into the deep dermis using a precise injection technique designed to create an even, natural lift. Because Sculptra works gradually, most patients require a series of sessions (typically 2-3) spaced about six weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The session itself is comfortable, unhurried, and focused on your long-term natural beauty.
Face
Sculptra® is an excellent option for signs of advanced aging and volume loss, including smoothing smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines. Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid-based, collagen-stimulating dermal filler that effectively adds fullness to the temples, cheeks, jawline, and wrinkles. The injections don't stop at adding instant volume to areas of depletion, but they work from the inside to rebuild collagen structures and restore youthfulness to the skin after midface fat loss.
Skin Tightening
Sculptra® injections tighten loose skin by increasing collagen production. Collagen is a structural protein naturally occurring in the body that plays an essential role in skin suppleness and elasticity. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injections, or Sculptra, promote increased collagen production to firm the skin naturally. It is an excellent tool for correcting uneven texture and sagging on the chest or other areas where skin quality has diminished, or improving skin crepiness with increased collagen density.
Cellulite
Sculptra® can be strategically injected into areas of the legs, hips, and thighs to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite is dimpling in the skin. It is more commonly found in women than men and increases as we age. Sculptra can smooth the appearance by restoring proper collagen structures, resulting in a firmer appearance.
Because the body takes time to produce collagen, your appearance improves gradually without the sudden onset of dermal fillers. Beyond volume, many patients notice glowing skin and improved skin elasticity as new collagen matures. Results feel like your own skin—because they are your own skin.
Sculptra is the premier choice for patients who want a "glow up" rather than a "fill up." If you have hollow temples, accordion lines on the cheeks, or overall facial thinning, Sculptra is for you. It is best for those who prefer a gradual, natural transition over several months.
There is minimal downtime, but Sculptra requires a specific aftercare routine known as the "5-5-5 Rule": massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This ensures the PLLA particles are evenly distributed to stimulate uniform collagen growth.
Sculptra does not provide instant volume; instead, it acts as a biostimulator for your skin. Over 4 to 6 months, you will notice a gradual thickening of the skin and a restoration of youthful contours as your body produces its own Type 1 collagen.
The results are some of the longest-lasting in the industry, often enduring for 2 years or more. Sculptra's overall rejuvenating effect makes the skin look healthier and more resilient.
Sculptra requires a nuanced approach to injection. Our team at Nuance understands how to map the face to account for future collagen growth, ensuring your results stay balanced as they develop. We are experts in bio-stimulatory science, helping you age backward gracefully.

Patients usually see results after three weeks. Following your Sculptra® injections, your results will continue to improve for about three months.
Sculptra® is a prescription injectable collagen stimulator made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Sculptra® stimulates collagen production and restores volume lost due to aging or illness to leave you with rejuvenated skin.
The length of survival varies from person to person and from treatment to treatment. Because the product is injected into the body, some bodies may metabolize it more quickly than others. Fillers typically last anywhere from 6 months up to 2 years.
Results from filler appear immediately and can last up to several months. Fillers are typically gel substances, like hyaluronic acid, that diminish lines by pushing up the dermis space beneath wrinkles and creases.
Collagen stimulators are used to diminish facial wrinkles by helping to restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin. Results appear gradually over the treatment regime (typically three injections over the course of three to four months) and can last up to two years.
Sculptra® works by stimulating the body’s collagen production over time using poly-L-lactic acid. Sculptra® can produce results within 6 weeks to 3 months.
According to the FDA, Sculptra® Aesthetic can last up to two years. *Results will vary depending on the patient.
A collagen stimulation treatment is used to induce a controlled injury to the dermal-epidermal junction of the skin that produces new collagen, growth factors, and elastin.
The number of treatments varies. On average, we recommend at least three treatments.
You may experience bruising and or swelling following your treatment. Schedule your appointment two weeks before any special occasion or event.
