Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) — a biocompatible, biodegradable material that has been used safely in medicine for decades. Rather than adding immediate volume like a hyaluronic acid filler, Sculptra stimulates your body's own fibroblasts to produce new Type I collagen over time.
The result is a gradual, natural-looking restoration of facial volume, contour, and skin quality — often described as looking like a well-rested version of yourself rather than a 'treated' face.
At Genevieve & Co. in Charlotte, Sculptra is used to restore volume in the temples, cheeks, and mid-face; soften nasolabial folds and marionette lines; sharpen and support the jawline; smooth crepey skin on the neck and décolleté; and for non-surgical buttock augmentation. It's especially loved by patients over 35 experiencing early volume loss, and by anyone seeking a slower, more subtle approach to facial rejuvenation.
Most patients receive 2–4 vials total across 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Each session takes 30–60 minutes with topical numbing. Immediately after treatment, mild swelling gives a temporary 'full' appearance that resolves within 24–72 hours — the true result is collagen your body builds over the following 3–6 months.
After-care includes massaging the treated area five times per day for five minutes over five days (the '5-5-5' rule) to distribute the product evenly. Results typically last 2+ years, making Sculptra one of the longest-lasting injectables available.
All three are volumizing injectables — but they work differently. Hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvéderm, Restylane) add immediate volume and are reversible. Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite biostimulator that provides both instant lift and collagen stimulation. Sculptra is a pure biostimulator — no immediate volume, but the most gradual and long-lasting collagen-driven result.
Many patients combine Sculptra (for deep foundational collagen and structural lift) with hyaluronic fillers (for targeted volume and shape) and neurotoxins (for line softening) in a layered rejuvenation plan.
Every Sculptra plan at Genevieve & Co. begins with a facial analysis and a customized vial plan based on your degree of volume loss and long-term goals. Our injectors use advanced dilution and layered techniques to keep results natural and lift-forward — never overfilled. Located at 1315 East Blvd in Charlotte's Dilworth neighborhood, we serve Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, Matthews, Mint Hill, Concord, Gastonia, and Rock Hill.
