Sculptra® treatments at San Carlos IV Bar in San Carlos, CA, offer a unique solution for facial rejuvenation by stimulating collagen production. Sculptra® is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, which works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production process. When injected into the skin, Sculptra® promotes the gradual rebuilding of collagen fibers, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance over time.
Sculptra® can treat multiple areas of the face, including the cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and marionette lines. It is suitable for individuals seeking to address volume loss, improve skin texture, and restore facial contours. Sculptra® is often recommended for patients with mild to moderate signs of aging and those looking for long-lasting results.
Results from Sculptra® treatments develop gradually as the collagen production process is stimulated. Most patients notice improvements in skin texture and volume within a few weeks to months after the initial treatment. The results can last up to two years or more, making Sculptra® an excellent option for long-term facial rejuvenation.

Sculptra® stimulates collagen production in the skin in order to gradually restore facial volume, improve skin structure, and soften signs of aging over time. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, it works beneath the skin to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production for subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation.
Your appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate facial volume loss, skin quality, and your aesthetic goals. From there, we create a customized treatment plan designed around your facial structure and desired results.
Your provider carefully maps the treatment areas to restore facial balance and support natural-looking collagen renewal in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and smile lines.
Using advanced injection techniques, Sculptra® is strategically administered beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production gradually while maintaining natural facial movement and expression.
Over the following weeks and months, your body naturally rebuilds collagen in the treated areas, creating smoother, firmer, and more refreshed-looking skin.
Most patients experience minimal downtime following Sculptra® treatment.
