Sculptra was initially intended to correct volume loss in facial areas, but over the years it’s shown how powerful it is in collagen production. Sculptra can now be used to fill in dimples, hollowness, and creases to create a fuller, more voluminous butt with injections! This is what we like to call our “Sculptra BBL”, the nonsurgical Brazilian Butt Lift. Having a minimally invasive alternative to other more intense, surgical options is a great choice for someone who doesn’t want a long recovery time!

Sculptra works by stimulating your own collagen in response to Poly L Lactic Acid, its main component. After your treatment, over the next several weeks, collagen is gradually built from the injections, and the appearance of your results improves. The true results will become more apparent over the following months, and only get better! It is important to understand that Sculptra is a collagen stimulator, not a dermal filler. This means that the Sculptra itself is not providing the filling. Sculptra causes a reaction in the skin which forms new collagen. Sculptra itself is absorbed by the surrounding tissue and is gone several months after your treatment, but the new collagen which is left behind can last many years!

Optimal results will usually occur 2-3 months after the Sculptra treatment and commonly last somewhere between 2 to 3 years. Sculptra can be injected over a period of time to produce the desired result, and you can also re-inject Sculptra to prolong the effects of your treatment!

A Brazilian Butt Lift with Sculptra is an extremely easy procedure to get done. There is no liposuction required, no healing/soreness from fat harvest, no need to sit on donuts, or in some cases “avoid sitting at all costs”. These Sculptra injections can be done in about 30 minutes, are nearly painless, and have no downtime except for bruising and mild swelling, with results lasting for years! A surgical BBL requires weeks to recover, and restrictions on exercise/sitting.

Besides swelling and some bruising, reactions and side-effects are extremely rare when it comes to Sculptra! For clients who are not ready to undergo a surgical procedure or are looking for in-office procedures that have minimal downtime, Sculptra is a great option for their butt enhancement. Not to mention it can be cheaper than surgery!
