When considering non-surgical skin rejuvenation, longevity matters. One of the most common questions we get is: How long does Sculptra last?
The short answer: up to two years.
But to understand why, you need to know what makes Sculptra different from traditional dermal fillers.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra works beneath the surface to rebuild your skin’s structure over time by encouraging your own collagen production.
At Injectual, we don’t use Sculptra to create puffiness or instant volume. We use it as a regenerative skinbooster to improve texture, firmness, and skin quality in a way that looks completely natural.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Sculptra doesn’t work overnight. Most clients start noticing changes around 6–12 weeks after their first session, with optimal results typically seen after completing a course of 2–3 treatments, spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
How Long Does Sculptra Last?
Once full results appear, they can last up to 24 months.
This makes Sculptra one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available — not because the product remains in the skin, but because it stimulates your own collagen, which naturally degrades much more slowly.
Key factors that influence longevity:
-
Your age and skin condition
-
How many sessions you complete
-
The skill of your injector (technique matters)
-
Lifestyle and skincare maintenance

Sculptra is ideal if you want lasting improvement without the overfilled look. It gradually lifts, thickens, and firms the skin, making it especially effective for treating laxity, thinning, and dullness — particularly in the cheeks, temples, jawline, neck, and chest.
