Sculptra: A Structural Approach to Facial and Body Support
Sculptra is a biostimulating injectable that works with your body to gradually restore structure and support.
Rather than adding immediate volume, Sculptra stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Over time, this can help improve skin thickness, firmness, and overall support in both the face and body.
At Godley Clinic, Sculptra is used as part of a broader plan that looks at how tissue changes over time, not just one area in isolation.
Common treatment areas include:
• Midface to support cheeks and facial structure
• Jawline to improve definition and support
• Temples where volume loss can occur over time
• Buttock and hip area to support contour
• Décolleté to improve skin quality and texture
• Upper arms or abdomen where skin may feel thinner or less firm
Sculptra Before & After

How Sculptra Works
Sculptra contains poly L lactic acid, a substance used in medical applications for many years.
After it is injected, it is absorbed by the body while stimulating collagen production in the surrounding tissue. This response happens beneath the surface of the skin, where structural support naturally declines over time.
As collagen develops, the area becomes more supported, which can improve how the skin looks and behaves. Changes appear gradually over the following weeks and months, rather than all at once.

Butt Lift + Hip Dip Treatment
This treatment is used in the buttock and hip area and is performed through a series of small injections.
It can help improve the overall shape and contour, including the appearance of hip dips, while also supporting skin quality such as firmness and texture. Some patients also notice an improvement in the look of uneven tone or dimpling in the treated area.
Results develop gradually over time as your body produces collagen, with a series of treatments typically recommended.
Sculptra FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Sculptra different from dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers add volume right away by placing a gel-like substance under the skin. Sculptra works differently, it encourages your body to rebuild its own collagen. This means results appear gradually and can last longer than most fillers.
What areas can be treated with Sculptra?
Sculptra is most often used on the face for concerns such as hollow cheeks, deep folds, or loss of skin structure. It can also be used on the temples, jawline, and even in areas of the body that benefit from collagen support.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients need a series of treatments — typically 2 to 3 sessions spaced about a month apart. The exact number depends on your goals, the condition of your skin, and Dr. Godley’s recommendations during consultation.
When will I see results?
Unlike fillers, which work instantly, Sculptra’s results appear gradually as new collagen forms. You may notice improvements within a few months, with full results often visible after the series of treatments is complete.
How long does Sculptra last?
This is a fantastic question and one that can be a little challenging to answer precisely. Dr. Godley generally advises that results last an average of 1.5 to 2. You may wonder why the range is broad — this is because the return of skin laxity and collagen loss varies from person to person.
Several factors influence this, including hormone balance, sun exposure, diet, smoking or alcohol use, and weight fluctuations. The fat pads around the eyes and cheeks, in particular, can increase or decrease with weight changes, which affects skin laxity.
If you are in good overall health, maintain hormone balance, avoid major weight fluctuations, and follow a healthy lifestyle, it is quite possible to experience results at the longer end of that scale with this procedure.
