Aesthetic Clinics located in San Jose, CA

If you’re looking for gradual, natural-looking facial rejuvenation that restores youthful volume and improves skin quality over time, Sculptra® may be the ideal treatment. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra works by stimulating your 
body’s own collagen production to rebuild facial structure from within. 

At Cataleya Aesthetics in San Jose, California, we use Sculptra to restore volume loss, improve skin firmness, and rejuvenate areas affected by aging. Because the results develop gradually, the outcome looks subtle, natural, and long-lasting.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra® is an injectable collagen stimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA),, a biocompatible material that has been used safely in medicine for many years.

Rather than simply filling wrinkles, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen productiondeep within the skin. Over time, this collagen rebuilds structural support, restoring volume and improving skin firmness.

The result is a gradual and natural-looking rejuvenation that improves facial contours and reduces signs of aging.

Sculptra FAQ

What is the pricing for Sculptra?

Sculptra treatment is typically priced per vial , and most clients require a series of treatments for optimal results. The number of vials needed depends on factors such as age, degree of volume loss, and treatment goals.

Your provider will determine the recommended treatment plan during your consultation.

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid microparticles that stimulate the body to produce new collagen.

After injection, the product gradually activates your skin’s natural regenerative process. Over several weeks, new collagen forms in the treated areas, restoring volume and improving skin quality.

WUnlike traditional fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra creates progressive, long term improvement in skin structure and elasticity.

How is Sculptra different from dermal fillers?

Sculptra works differently from traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.

Sculptra

  • Stimulates natural collagen production
  • Gradually restores facial volume
  • Improves skin structure and firmness
  • Results develop over several months

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

  • Provide immediate volume
  • Contour specific facial features
  • Hydrate the skin

Many patients choose to combine Sculptra with fillers and Botox for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.

  • Cheeks
