What is Sculptra? Your Guide to Collagen-Boosting Glow at Hazel + Honey
When it comes to restoring youthful volume and supporting your skin’s natural radiance, Sculptra is one of those game-changing treatments that works with your body—not against it.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that deliver instant volume, Sculptra is a biostimulant. That means it gradually helps your skin rebuild its own collagen, creating a soft, natural look that unfolds over time. Think of it as a slow-burn glow-up—subtle, long-lasting, and designed to enhance your features, not change them.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a compound that’s been used safely in medicine for decades. Once injected, it works deep within the dermis to stimulate your body’s own collagen production. Over the weeks and months that follow, your skin becomes firmer, plumper, and smoother—without ever looking overdone.
It’s commonly used to treat:
Hollow temples
Cheeks that have lost volume
Smile lines
Jawline contouring
Subtle lift in areas that feel a little “deflated”
What to Expect at Hazel + Honey
When you book a Sculptra appointment at Hazel + Honey, everything starts with a thoughtful, personalized consultation. We’ll chat through your goals, assess your facial structure, and create a treatment plan that works with your unique features and timeline.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect:
Treatment Time: Around 30-45 minutes
Numbing: Yes, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable
Downtime: Minimal—some swelling or tenderness for a few days is common
Results: Gradual and natural—most clients see noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks
Longevity: Up to 2+ years with proper maintenance
We typically recommend a series of 2-3 sessions spaced about 6 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s needs and the look you’re going for.
Is Sculptra Right for You?
Sculptra is an incredible option if you're looking for something more subtle and long-lasting than a traditional filler. It's especially loved by those noticing early signs of aging or volume loss, or anyone looking to boost collagen and restore their skin’s bounce over time.
If you’re newer to aesthetics or just exploring your options, we invite you to browse our full list of injectables or come in for a consult—we’re here to walk you through it, step by step.
Aftercare Tips
Post-treatment, we’ll send you home with everything you need to support healing and collagen production. The key? The 5-5-5 rule—massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This helps the product settle evenly and encourages optimal collagen stimulation.
We’ll also guide you through any additional skincare tweaks, especially if you're pairing your treatment with something like a HydraFacial or microneedling to maximize your glow.
