Four ways in which Sculptra injections can be used for acne scars, anti-aging, and more
At Essential Dermatology of Needham, Massachusetts, our team of professionals is dedicated to helping individuals achieve beautiful skin, even when imperfections occur. The signs of aging, acne scars, pigmentation, and sun damage can all affect the skin’s appearance and health. With certain treatments like Sculptra injections, patients can address a wide range of concerns using this popular volume filler. Let’s take a look at Sculptra and the four ways in which it can be used.
What is Sculptra?
Our team describes Sculptra as an injectable designed to add volume right where it is needed. This solution is a non-surgical way to address various skin issues for patients. It is formulated with poly-L-lactic acid, which provides fullness to areas throughout the face.

Four ways in which Sculptra injections can be used
- Acne scarring. Patients can talk to our team at Essential Dermatology about using Sculptra for acne scars. These injections reduce the overall appearance of acne scars and improve skin texture. This is especially beneficial for those who have tried other treatments for acne scarring with little success.
- Fine lines and wrinkles. Sculptra injections are commonly used to fill in fine lines and wrinkles on the face, particularly around the mouth, nose, and chin. These injections work by stimulating collagen production in the skin, which helps to plump up areas that have lost volume due to aging, making it a reliable anti-aging treatment for our patients.
- Volume loss in cheeks and temples. As we start to age, our faces naturally begin to lose fat and bone density, resulting in a sunken or hollow appearance in certain areas, such as the cheeks and temples. Sculptra injections can be used to restore this lost volume, giving a more youthful and fuller look to the face.
- Non-surgical butt lift. Sculptra injections can also be used off-label for a non-surgical butt lift. By injecting the solution into specific areas of the buttocks, our team at Essential Dermatology can create a lifted and contoured appearance without the need for surgery or downtime.
Can Sculptra be used alongside other cosmetic treatments?
In addition to these four main uses, Sculptra injections can also be used in combination with other cosmetic skin treatments, such as Botox and dermal fillers, for even more comprehensive results. Our team at Essential Dermatology is highly trained and experienced in using Sculptra injections, ensuring optimal results for each patient.
