Gradual. Regenerative. Global Rejuvenation.
Serving Lake Norman, Huntersville, Davidson, Mooresville, and the Greater Charlotte Area

Sculptra® is a unique injectable treatment designed to stimulate your body’s own collagen production, offering subtle, natural rejuvenation that improves gradually and lasts for years. At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center, we use Sculptra as a foundational treatment for patients seeking a longer-term, structural approach to facial aging—especially in areas where volume loss and collagen depletion have softened definition.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that helps rebuild the skin’s underlying support structure by encouraging your body to produce its own collagen. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra does not provide instant volume. Instead, it works gradually to restore firmness, volume, and structure over time.

What Areas Can Sculptra Treat?

• Cheeks and midface volume loss

• Jawline definition

• Temples

• Chin and lower face

• Global facial rejuvenation

• Off-label: chest, arms, and body for collagen stimulation

Why Choose Sculptra?

• Stimulates natural collagen production over time

• Ideal for patients seeking subtle, long-lasting results

• Addresses underlying causes of volume loss and skin laxity

• Does not result in a puffy or overfilled appearance

• Long duration: results can last more than two years in many patients

What to Expect

Sculptra treatments are performed in a series, typically spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Most patients require 2–3 sessions for optimal results. As collagen gradually rebuilds, you’ll notice improved firmness, volume, and skin quality.

There is minimal downtime. Mild swelling or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days.

Visible results begin to emerge after 4–8 weeks, with continued improvement for several months. Final outcomes are natural-looking, with smoother contours and renewed structure.

The Saluja Approach

At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center, we take a tailored, regenerative approach to facial aesthetics. Sculptra is often used as a foundational treatment for patients experiencing generalized collagen loss and volume depletion. While many patients achieve beautiful, natural-looking results with Sculptra alone, we also offer it as part of one of our many Signature Protocols—each designed to approach beauty from a more holistic, biologically intelligent perspective.

Whether you’re addressing early aging or rebuilding deeper structural support, Sculptra offers a regenerative path to more resilient, youthful-looking skin.

Why Patients Trust Dr. Saluja

All Sculptra treatments are performed by Dr. Minni Saluja, a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained cosmetic dermatologist with a Master’s in Regenerative Medicine. Her experience in facial anatomy, injection precision, and skin biology ensures that each treatment is planned with expertise, restraint, and your long-term results in mind.
