Hollow temples, flatter cheeks and thinning skin are signs that your face is losing collagen. Sculptra® Aesthetic treats that cause directly. Instead of filling a line, it stimulates your skin to rebuild its own collagen, so results develop gradually and look like a rested version of you.
At Woodlands Medical Aesthetics Institute, Sculptra is performed by experienced nurse injectors under the medical direction of Dr. Johnny Peet, FACOG, a board-certified gynecologist. We treat patients from The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Montgomery, Tomball and Magnolia.
Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material used in medicine for decades. It is approved for correcting shallow to deep smile lines and other facial wrinkles, and for fine lines on the cheeks.
Sculptra belongs to a category called biostimulators. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® add volume by holding water under the skin. Sculptra works differently: it triggers your body to produce new collagen in the treated area over the following weeks and months.
Collagen production slows every year after your mid-twenties, and drops faster for women after menopause. Once injected, Sculptra’s PLLA particles prompt your skin to build new collagen, restoring the inner structure that thins with age.
Because the collagen develops over time, results appear gradually over two to three months. The product is absorbed by the body, but the collagen your skin builds in response remains. Results can last more than two years.*
You may be a good candidate if you are an adult in good general health with a healthy immune system, you are noticing gradual volume loss or thinning skin, and you prefer subtle results that build over a few months.
Sculptra is generally not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area, have a history of keloid scarring, or have a known allergy to any of its ingredients. Your injector will review your medical history and medications before treatment.
Dr. Peet leads a highly trained team of clinical and med spa professionals who combine laser technology, hormone therapy, and cosmetic treatments to give you a renewed sense of confidence and vitality, no matter your age, gender, or background.

Your injector will assess your facial structure, skin quality and goals, then map out the number of sessions and timing of your plan.
Most appointments take 30 to 45 minutes. The area is cleansed and numbed for comfort, then Sculptra is placed with a fine needle or cannula.
Sculptra is usually given as a series of up to four sessions spaced about three weeks apart. The number depends on how much volume you have lost.
Mild swelling, tenderness and bruising are common and usually settle within a few days. Most patients return to work the same day. Your injector will ask you to massage the treated area for several days to help Sculptra distribute evenly. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours and follow your injector’s aftercare instructions.
Sculptra and Radiesse® both stimulate collagen. Sculptra is the better fit for gradual, overall rejuvenation and tends to last longer. Radiesse adds visible lift right away and is often chosen for the jawline, chin and hands. Many patients use both in different areas, and your injector will recommend the right option at your consultation.
Sculptra sessions at our clinic average around $700, and most treatment plans include more than one session. Your exact cost depends on the areas treated and the number of vials needed. Your injector will give you a quote at your consultation, and you can check current offers on our specials page.
Sculptra requires precise knowledge of facial anatomy and injection depth. At WMAI, it is performed by experienced nurse injectors including Heather Bell, RN, our Master Nurse Injector, who specializes in BOTOX®, dermal fillers and Sculptra Aesthetic®. All treatments are provided under the medical direction of Dr. Johnny Peet, FACOG.
We see patients at two locations serving The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Montgomery, Tomball and Magnolia:
Hours at both locations: Monday to Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Results from a full Sculptra treatment plan can last more than two years.*
Results develop gradually over two to three months as new collagen forms. Some fullness right after treatment comes from swelling and fluid, which settles in a few days.
Most patients need a series of sessions, up to four, spaced about three weeks apart.
No. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase (Hylenex®), Sculptra is not reversible. This is one reason choosing an experienced injector matters.
Most patients describe mild pressure or stinging. Numbing keeps treatment comfortable.
Massage helps the product spread evenly under the skin and lowers the risk of small bumps. Your injector will show you how and for how long.
