Gradual Improvements. Lasting Enhancements.
You gain a lot with age: memories, wisdom, and friendships, to name a few. However, you also gain fine lines and wrinkles, which are natural and healthy signs of a life well lived—but not always something that you readily embrace in the mirror. While no one can stop time from marching on. At Regain, we can help delay the aging process on your skin with Sculptra in Kansas City.
Sculptra is the first and original FDA-approved injectable biostimulator to restore the body’s collagen production. Using poly-L-lactic acid, this treatment supports your skin’s structure and delicately enhances your facial contours. Results from this injectable are subtle, giving you natural-looking enhancements for up to 2 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sculptra is FDA-approved in the United States and has been used worldwide since 1999. In fact, the synthetic material used in these injectables (poly-L-lactic acid) has been used for years in dissolvable stitches.
At Regain, your safety is our top priority. Therefore, we review your medical history and use that to determine if this treatment is right for you.
If you fall under any of these categories, you are not a candidate for Sculptra:
- History of keloid formation
- History of hypertrophic scarring
- Allergy to poly-L-lactic acid
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
In Kansas City, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements for a few days before and after your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
After your treatment, we recommend the 5-5-5 rule: Massage the injected area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, 5 days in a row.
If you have received other injectables, you may find this surprising. Usually, we recommend that you avoid touching the injection site. However, for Sculptra, massaging actually helps to evenly distribute the poly-L-lactic acid, which is the key ingredient that stimulates collagen production. Of course, we highly recommend cleansing the area and your hands before and after massaging.
The most common areas of injection for Sculptra in Kansas City are the nasolabial folds, chin, cheeks, temples, and smile lines.
As Sculptra starts stimulating collagen production, you’ll notice gradual improvements starting a few weeks after your first treatment. After a couple of months, you can expect to see full results.
The number of sessions you need depends on the outcome you want to achieve and the health of your skin. For Sculptra in Kansas City, we usually recommend at least 2 to 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Sculptra stimulates collagen production gradually to support your underlying skin’s structure for natural, subtle enhancements that can last for up to 2 years.
Dermal fillers work instantly to plump your skin and replenish lost volume, which lasts for at least 1 year.
For best results, you can combine your injectable treatments: Dermal fillers for instant results, and Sculptra for long-term support.
