Sculptra®
Sculptra® is an injectable collagen stimulator (biostimulator) designed to gradually restore facial volume, improve skin firmness, and support long-term skin quality. Rather than creating an immediate filling effect, Sculptra works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production, helping restore structure and support over time.
At Rise Medical Aesthetics, we tailor every Sculptra treatment based on your facial anatomy, degree of collagen loss, and long-term goals. Our approach is evidence-based and patient-centered, with careful assessment, precise technique, and individualized treatment planning.
What To Expect During Treatment

Typically efficient, with minimal disruption to your day. Initial appointments include additional time for consultation and treatment planning.

Most clients require a series of treatments. A common starting point is two sessions approximately six weeks apart, although recommendations vary based on your goals and degree of collagen loss.

Safety, Standards, and Follow-up
Our injectable treatments are performed by Nurse Practitioners and Registered Nurses. We adhere to strict professional and safety standards governed by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) and follow evidence-based protocols for assessment, treatment, and aftercare.
Because Sculptra works gradually, follow-up is an important part of the process. We monitor how your results are developing and guide future treatment recommendations when appropriate.
