Sculptra Injections in Cincinnati, Ohio
Restoring A Natural, Youthful Look
Sculptra® Injections in Cincinnati offer a solution to attain a naturally youthful appearance by rejuvenating your collagen production. Collagen plays a vital role in maintaining the health, elasticity, and youthful appearance of the face and body. It is a structural protein that makes up a significant portion of our skin, acting as a framework that provides support and strength. As we age, the production of collagen naturally declines, resulting in the loss of facial volume and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Rejuvenate the appearance of your skin, gradually.

How does Sculptra® work?
Sculptra Injections in Cincinnati work by stimulating the production of collagen in the skin. It contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance. When injected into the targeted areas, PLLA microparticles act as a scaffold, triggering a natural response from the body to produce collagen.
Over time, as the PLLA microparticles gradually break down, the collagen production stimulated by Sculptra helps restore the skin’s inner structure and volume. This process leads to a gradual improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss.
The effects of Sculptra in Cincinnati are progressive and may require a series of treatment sessions. Typically, multiple injections are spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The collagen stimulation continues even after the treatment sessions, resulting in gradual and natural-looking improvements that can last up to two years.
Process & Results
Sculptra®
Step 1.
The Consultation
During your consultation, we will explain to you how Sculptra in Cincinnati works, how long it lasts, what to expect with the treatment and any potential side effects. Our physicians will determine a customized treatment plan based on your areas of concern and your desired results.
Step 2.
Inject
After the areas are determined, we will apply a topical anesthetic for comfort. Once properly cleansed, one of our providers will inject Sculptra into the predetermined areas.
Step 3.
Stimulating Collagen
Most patients will return to receive their second and third treatment according to their treatment plan. After your initial Sculptra Injections in Cincinnati, Ohio session, you’ll see some volume increase but the real work happens gradually over the course of the next few months.
Step 4.
Results
Sculptra is a gradual, collagen stimulating treatment. Following the treatment, your body slowly breaks down the PLLA microparticles, encouraging the production of collagen. Visible results typically emerge within 3-4 months, as the skin’s inner structure and volume are gradually restored, resulting in a natural-looking outcome that can last for up to two years.
Before Your Sculptra Injections in Cincinnati

- Avoid the use of Aspirin, NSAIDs, Ginkgo Biloba, garlic supplements, green tea, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamins A and E, and essential fatty acids for up to 1 week before injections (this reduces the risk of bruising)

- If desired, take Arnica tablets 2 to 3 days before your injection to reduce the risk of bruising
