AESTHETIC TREATMENT· BURNABY & VICTORIA, BC
Sculptra
Filler
Sculptra poly-L-lactic acid is a unique approach to facial rejuvenation — working gradually with your skin's own biology to restore volume and a naturally youthful appearance over time. The most natural-looking results available in aesthetic medicine.
Volume restored
the way your body does it
Sculptra is an injectable aesthetic treatment containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) — a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that has been safely used in medicine for decades. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that add immediate volume, Sculptra works by stimulating your skin's own collagen production gradually over a series of sessions.
The result is a progressive, natural-looking improvement in facial volume and skin quality — one that builds subtly over weeks and months rather than appearing overnight. Because the results develop gradually, they are exceptionally natural and virtually undetectable, making Sculptra one of the most sophisticated options available in aesthetic medicine today.
At Oak Skin in Burnaby and Victoria, Sculptra is administered with a precision and artistry-first approach — always enhancing your natural facial anatomy, never altering it.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Your Sculptra journey
01
CONSULTATION
A thorough facial assessment to determine whether Sculptra is appropriate for your goals, anatomy, and skin concerns — and to design a personalized treatment plan.
02
FIRST SESSION
Sculptra is injected using a fine cannula or needle into targeted areas of the face. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort. Most sessions take 30–45 minutes.
03
PROGRESSIVE RESULTS
Results develop gradually over 6–8 weeks as collagen is stimulated. Most clients complete 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
04
LONG-LASTING OUTCOME
Once complete, results from Sculptra may last up to 2 years or more — significantly longer than hyaluronic acid fillers — with periodic maintenance sessions to sustain the outcome.
WHY SCULPTRA
The advantages of
Collagen-stimulating filler
CONDITIONS WE ADDRESS
NATURAL
Because results develop gradually over weeks, they are virtually undetectable — building subtly in a way that looks and feels entirely like your own skin.
FULL-FACE REJUVENATION
Ideal for addressing diffuse volume loss across the cheeks, temples, jawline, and chin — restoring a naturally youthful facial structure rather than adding localized volume.
STIMULATES YOUR OWN COLLAGEN
Rather than adding a foreign substance that remains in the tissue, Sculptra encourages your skin to rebuild its own collagen — improving skin quality alongside volume.
BIOCOMPATIBLE & SAFE
Poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible, biodegradable material with a well-established safety record — used in medicine for decades and gradually and safely absorbed by the body.
LONG-LASTING RESULTS
Sculptra results may last up to 2 years or more — making it a highly cost-effective option for those seeking sustained aesthetic improvements.
MINIMAL DOWNTIME
Most clients experience mild swelling and redness for 1–3 days following treatment. Bruising is possible but typically minimal. Most clients return to normal activities the same day.
TREATMENT AREAS
Where Sculptra
makes a difference
Sculptra is particularly well-suited to areas of diffuse volume loss — where the goal is to restore overall facial harmony and structure rather than target a single specific area.
CHEEKS & MIDFACE
Restoring lost midface volume to lift and re-contour the face — addressing the hollowness and flattening that occurs with age-related volume loss.
TEMPLES
One of the first areas to lose volume — temple hollowing creates a gaunt appearance that Sculptra addresses beautifully with gradual, natural-looking restoration.
JAWLINE & CHIN
Restoring definition and structure to the lower face — improving facial proportion and softening the appearance of jowling caused by volume loss.
NASOLABIAL FOLDS
Addressing the volume loss in the midface that causes deepening of the folds between nose and mouth — from the root rather than the surface.
DÈCOLLETAGE & BODY
Sculptra can also be used to improve skin quality and volume in the chest, hands, and buttocks — extending rejuvenation beyond the face.
Is Sculptra right for you?
IDEAL CANDIDATES
Sculptra is well-suited for clients who are looking for gradual, natural-looking results and are comfortable with a series of treatments over several months rather than immediate transformation.
It is particularly suited to clients experiencing diffuse volume loss across multiple facial areas, those seeking longer-lasting results than hyaluronic acid fillers, and those who want results that develop so naturally that no one can pinpoint what has changed — only that they look refreshed.
A thorough consultation at Oak Skin in Burnaby or Victoria is always the first step — ensuring Sculptra is the right choice for your unique goals and anatomy.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Sculptra collagen-stimulating filler FAQ
How many Sculptra sessions do I need?
Most patients complete 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. The number of sessions depends on the degree of volume loss being addressed and your individual aesthetic goals — which we'll discuss in detail at your consultation.
When will I see results from Sculptra?
Because Sculptra works by stimulating your skin's own collagen production, results develop gradually over 6–8 weeks following each session. The final result becomes visible 2–3 months after completing your treatment series — and continues to improve as collagen remodelling progresses.
What is the difference between Sculptra and regular dermal fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers add immediate volume by physically filling the area. Sculptra stimulates your skin's own collagen production gradually over time — producing results that are more natural, longer-lasting, and that improve overall skin quality alongside volume restoration.
How long does Sculptra last?
Sculptra results may last up to 2 years or more for many clients — significantly longer than dermal fillers. Periodic maintenance sessions help sustain and enhance results over time.
Is Sculptra safe?
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid — a biocompatible, biodegradable material with a well-established safety record used in medicine for decades. It is gradually and safely absorbed by the body over time. A thorough consultation is always conducted before any treatment to ensure Sculptra is appropriate for you.
Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments at Oak Skin?
Yes — Sculptra pairs beautifully with hyaluronic acid fillers for targeted volume, neuromodulators for dynamic lines, and our Acu-Facial for holistic skin rejuvenation. We'll discuss the most appropriate combination approach for your goals at your consultation.
