As the skin changes with age, it can lose some of the internal support that once kept it looking firm and lifted. Instead of adding volume all at once, biostimulants like Sculptra target the deeper layers of the skin and encourage your body to rebuild its own collagen. This gradual approach strengthens the foundation beneath the surface, creating soft improvement over time.
Julie Lorenzo, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner at Jewels x Aesthetics in Parkland, Florida, performs all biostimulant treatments. Julie has more than 10 years of aesthetic experience and a trauma nursing background. She focuses on honest guidance and long-term skin quality, ensuring your results evolve in a way that feels authentic.
What Are Biostimulants?
Biostimulants are injectable treatments that stimulate collagen production rather than adding volume directly. At Jewels x Aesthetics, the primary biostimulant offered is Sculptra, a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) treatment known for its ability to gradually thicken and strengthen the skin.
How Biostimulants Differ From Fillers
- Fillers add volume instantly
- Sculptra encourages your body to rebuild collagen
- Results appear over time and can last up to two years or longer
- Improvement is subtle, gradual, and exceptionally natural
Biostimulants are often used for patients who want facial balancing with a slower evolution.
What Sculptra Can Treat
Sculptra is versatile and can improve a variety of concerns related to volume loss and skin quality:
- Cheeks and midface
- Temples
- Lower face
- Jawline support
- Smile lines
- Overall facial firmness
Sculptra is also helpful for patients looking to refresh laxity or crepiness rather than create dramatic volume.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for Sculptra if you want:
- Gradual, natural improvement
- Longer-lasting results than traditional fillers
- Increased collagen and skin thickness
- Softer lines and restored facial structure
- Subtle refinement without noticeable “instant” changes
Julie will evaluate your skin, goals, and medical history to determine whether Sculptra is the best fit or if fillers would better accomplish your desired results.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid particles to gently activate the skin’s collagen response. Once injected, the product is slowly absorbed while your own collagen forms around the treatment areas.
What to Expect
- A series of treatments spaced several weeks apart
- Gradual, natural-looking improvement
- Collagen stimulation that continues for months
- Results that can last up to two years
The Biostimulant Treatment Process
Your visit begins with a conversation about your long-term goals and what areas would benefit most from a collagen boost. Julie examines facial structure, skin thickness, and overall balance.
During treatment, Sculptra is injected into specific layers beneath the skin. Julie chooses strategic placement to encourage lift, strength, and soft volume over time. Most patients describe the feeling as mild pressure.
Aftercare
Patients are asked to follow simple massage instructions to ensure the product disperses evenly. Swelling or tenderness may appear briefly and typically resolves within a few days.
Results and Longevity
Because Sculptra builds collagen, results appear gradually. Most patients begin noticing improvement within 6–8 weeks, with continued smoothing and support over the next several months.
Results can last up to two years, making Sculptra one of the longest-lasting nonsurgical options available.
