Restore Collagen With Sculptra® in Portland
Sculptra is often confused with traditional dermal fillers because it addresses similar concerns, but it works in a completely different way. Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid that gradually stimulates your body’s natural collagen production for skin strength and structure over time.
Where Sculptra Works
Cheeks
Sculptra restores collagen throughout the mid-face, gently lifting the cheeks for a refreshed look.
Smile Lines
Sculptra renews the cellular structure beneath the skin, smoothing the nasolabial folds over time.
Lax Skin
Sculptra gradually strengthens the skin, firming the lower face for a more youthful appearance.

Sculptra FAQs
How long does Sculptra last?
Sculptra results typically last around 24 months. After that time, a yearly vial is recommended to maintain results.
Can Sculptra be dissolved?
No, Sculptra cannot be dissolved like hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Since it is a liquid that stimulates your body to produce collagen, it gradually adds natural volume to depleted areas over time.
When will I see results?
Most people begin to notice visible improvement within 4–6 weeks, with ongoing enhancement over several months as collagen rebuilds and the skin becomes rejuvenated and more supported.
How much is Sculptra at Aluma?
Sculptra costs $1,000 per vial. We offer $200 off when you purchase 2 vials for use in one treatment session (total price $1,800). In addition, we sometimes have Sculptra specials. Visit our Specials page for current deals and financing options.
