Sculptra Injections
for long lasting rejuvenation

Sculptra® cosmetic injections stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production and work subtly, gradually over time for a more youthful-looking appearance.

Sculptra is a great option if you’re experiencing facial volume loss or seeking long-lasting, natural rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, leading to gradual and subtle enhancements over time. This makes it ideal for those who prefer a progressive improvement rather than an instant change.

Common treatment areas include the face and neck. Additionally, Sculptra is used to rejuvenate hands and even adding volume to the hips and buttocks through procedures like Sculptra buttock augmentation.

By stimulating collagen growth, Sculptra gradually restores lost volume and smooths wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful and natural appearance.

Combine Sculptra
With Other Treatments

Sculptra pairs well with other injectables like Botox, hyaluronic acid fillers, lip fillers, and skin rejuvenation treatments like Morpheus8, BBL HEROic, or MOXI for a more comprehensive anti-aging approach.

New update: I had a wonderful experience with Carol. She was professional, knowledgeable and paid attention to every detail to clearly explain my skin concerns. I’ll definitely be coming back! The moment I walked into the clinic I felt a happy, welcomed and professional setting. I had my Sofwave treatment with Alison Falada, Master Esthetician and Laser Specialist. She was nothing short of amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, skilled and detailed throughout the entire experience. She took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, addressed all of my my questions and concerns. Alison is an expert and provided great quality service! I love my results and can't wait to book my next appointment with her!

I’ve been seeing Carol for Botox for over two years, and she is absolutely amazing! I trust her completely with my face. She always takes the time to listen to what I want and makes sure my results look natural and beautiful—she never overdoes it. I especially appreciate how honest she is; she will tell you when you don’t need something rather than trying to sell you more treatments. Carol truly cares about her patients and always makes me feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home. She is professional, knowledgeable, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I always leave feeling confident and happy with my results. It’s hard to find someone you can trust this much, and I’m so grateful I found Carol.

I had an amazing experience with my Moxi laser treatment with Stephanie! She was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She thoroughly explained what to expect before, during, and after the procedure and gave me clear, detailed instructions for caring for my skin at home. I truly felt cared for throughout the entire experience and am so excited to see my results! I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone considering Moxi or any other service.

My experience at Chicago Aesthetics has always been positive. I am so grateful to Stephanie for her guidance and expertise on my treatment plan over the past year. She was thoughtful in her approach to treating my hyperpigmentation and acne and always informed me on what was going on during each treatment and why we were doing it. I wouldn’t go to anyone else and highly highly recommend her! Also, the ladies at the front desk are always so kind and make the booking process and check in/check out process go smoothly.
