sculptra® in Sioux Falls, SD

Turn back time by rebuilding what age takes away. Sculptra® Aesthetic is a one-of-a-kind injectable that works deep within the skin to restore lost collagen, gradually revealing a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance. At ARTisan Skin and Laser, we specialize in natural-looking, long-lasting facial rejuvenation—and Sculptra is one of our most powerful tools.

About Sculptra

Sculptra is an FDA-approved biostimulatory injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike traditional fillers that add volume with gel-like substances, Sculptra stimulates your body to produce new collagen, helping rebuild facial volume from within.

Sculptra is ideal for:

  • Softening deep smile lines and marionette lines

  • Improving hollow cheeks or temples

  • Enhancing jawline definition

  • Restoring youthful contours lost over time

  • Gradually rejuvenating aging skin

With a series of treatments, Sculptra offers results that evolve naturally and can last over two years.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

You may be a good candidate for Sculptra if you:

  • Have noticed facial volume loss, sagging, or hollow areas

  • Prefer a gradual, natural-looking transformation

  • Want long-lasting results (24+ months)

  • Are looking to boost skin firmness and elasticity over time

  • Are in overall good health and not pregnant or nursing

At your consultation, our skilled providers will customize a treatment plan based on your goals and facial structure.

PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE

A Sculptra session at ARTisan Skin and Laser is safe, precise, and tailored to you. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Consultation – We’ll map out a strategic plan based on where collagen has been lost.

  2. Preparation – The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied.

  3. Injection – Sculptra is injected into the deeper layers of the skin using a fine needle or cannula.

  4. Massage – The area is gently massaged to evenly distribute the product.

Each session takes about 30–45 minutes, and most patients will need a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced several weeks apart.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Immediately after treatment, you may notice some swelling or fullness—this is temporary and not your final result.

Over the next few weeks and months, your skin begins building new collagen. Results appear gradually, making it look like you’re naturally aging in reverse.

Common post-treatment experiences include:

  • Mild swelling, redness, or bruising (resolves in a few days)

  • Temporary lumpiness, which softens with massage

  • No significant downtime—most clients return to regular activities right away

To maintain optimal results, we recommend a personalized maintenance plan based on your aging process and aesthetic goals.
