Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable dermal filler used to stimulate collagen production and gradually restore volume in areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging or other factors.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, which helps stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen is a key protein that provides structure and support to the skin.
Sculptra is commonly used to address volume loss in the cheeks, temples, and nasolabial folds. It can also be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Unlike some other dermal fillers, Sculptra’s effects are not immediate. It works gradually over several months as collagen production increases. Results can last up to two years or more.
The number of sessions varies based on individual needs and the extent of volume loss. On average, a series of two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart is recommended.
Sculptra is generally suitable for healthy individuals seeking to address facial volume loss. However, it may not be suitable for those with certain allergies or skin conditions. Consultation with a healthcare professional is crucial to determine eligibility.
While there may be some swelling, bruising, or redness after the procedure, most people can resume their normal activities immediately. The downtime is generally minimal.
Common side effects include swelling, tenderness, bruising, and redness at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own.
Sculptra can be used in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers or Botox, to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Unlike some hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra is not easily reversible. However, in the rare event of complications or undesired results, the effects can be managed over time.
Results with Sculptra are gradual and become noticeable over a few weeks to months as collagen production increases. The full effects may take several months to manifest.
The actual injection process typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated and the number of vials used.

The purpose of this consent form is to provide written information regarding the risks, benefits and alternatives of treatment with Sculptra. This material serves as a supplement to the discussion you have with your Crawford Cosmetics provider. It’s important that you fully understand this material, so please read this information thoroughly. If you have any questions regarding the procedure, ask your Crawford Cosmetics provider prior to signing this consent form.
TREATMENT GOALS AND DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE Sculptra is a cosmetic product used to fill defects of the skin at deep levels. It stimulates collagen development. It does not directly provide volume filling; instead, Sculptra causes the formation of new collagen. The Sculptra product is broken down in the body and is absorbed about two years after a treatment, but the new collagen layer that is left behind may last two or more years. Sculptra requires a series of treatments to achieve adequate filling for most skin defects. Deep defects may require four to six treatment sessions; persons with lesser skin defects can often be treated with as few as two sessions. The volume of Sculptra injected at each session is entirely dependent on the size of the defect being corrected. Single treatments every one to three years appear to “keep up” with the natural loss of tissue volume due to aging. The effect of Sculptra is slow and gradual, as your skin forms collagen around the product crystals. The best results are seen about three months after the final treatment discomfort.
TREATMENT RESULTS Most patients are pleased with the results of their Sculptra treatment. However, like any aesthetic procedure, there is no guarantee that you will be completely satisfied. I acknowledge that while good results are expected, I may be disappointed with the results of the procedure. I understand there is no guarantee of results of any treatment. Even though appropriate measures are taken to reduce side effects, they cannot be completely eliminated in every case. I understand that the treatment may involve risks of complication or injury from both known and unknown causes. I agree to follow the pre- and post-treatment instructions carefully. I understand that compliance with the recommended pre- and post-procedure guidelines is crucial for healing and reducing the risk of complications.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS There are a few contraindications and patients with certain conditions may not be good candidates. Inform your provider if you have had any of the following conditions:
Bleeding disorders;
Previous cosmetic surgical procedures;
Keloid scar history;
History of facial herpes; and
Use of aspirin, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant or immunosuppressive therapies.
Swelling and bruising, as noted above.
Temporary numbness or tingling in the treated area, or temporary partial facial muscle paralysis (from the lidocaine anesthetic), lasting less than two hours.

Undesired cosmetic effects, such as an unexpected appearance after treatment. These events can be limited by clear communication with the provider about your specific treatment goals.
Small “bumps” that may or may not become visually apparent commonly form deep in the skin in the treated areas. This represents new collagen, which has formed deep in the skin.
