Sculptra in Edmonton, Alberta
If you're experiencing facial volume loss, deep wrinkles, or early signs of aging, Sculptra offers a powerful solution that goes beyond traditional fillers. At our clinic in Edmonton, Alberta, Dr. Russ Wong provides expert injectable treatment using Sculptra, a unique biostimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid.
This advanced treatment stimulates natural collagen production within the deeper layers of the skin, offering long-lasting results for facial rejuvenation, skin tightening, and a smoother, more youthful appearance.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a biocompatible, biodegradable injectable treatment that restores facial structure and skin firmness over time. Unlike hyaluronic acid-based fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra offers a gradual improvement by enhancing the skin’s ability to regenerate its own collagen.
It is an effective treatment option for:
- Volume loss in cheeks and temples
- Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and smile lines
- Loose skin, skin laxity, and deep folds
- Skin depressions, acne scars, and skin creases
YOUR SCULPTRA TREATMENT PATH
Initial Consultation
Dr. Wong will evaluate your facial features, skin condition, and aesthetic goals during a personalised initial consultation. He'll explain the treatment details, determine the number of treatment sessions, and map out a custom treatment plan.
During the Treatment
Sculptra is injected with precision into targeted areas of the face to support the underlying skin structure. A natural approach is used to maintain your unique facial contours and ensure balanced facial rejuvenation.
Days After Treatment
You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or redness hours after treatment. These common side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days.
Aftercare & Maintenance
- Avoid strenuous activity or sun exposure for 24 hours
- Follow any massage protocols provided to enhance collagen production increases
- Resume normal activities and daily routines shortly after your appointment
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra’s active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, works by stimulating the production of collagen within the dermal layer. Over a series of treatments, it improves skin structure, facial contours, and skin texture, giving you a visibly smoother, more youthful complexion.
This process supports:
- Growth of collagen and collagen formation
- Restoration of skin quality and firmness
- Natural-looking results for all skin types and tones
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Sculptra works gradually, with results building over a series of treatments spaced weeks apart. Most patients see optimal results after 2–3 sessions, followed by maintenance treatments once a year.

SCULPTRA VS TRADITIONAL FILLERS
While hyaluronic acid fillers offer quick fixes and instant volume, their effects typically fade within 6 to 12 months. Sculptra, on the other hand, focuses on stimulating your body’s collagen production, making it ideal for those wanting a proactive approach to aging. It's not just about filling lines - it’s about restoring your skin’s foundation from within.
Sculptra offers:
- Longer-lasting collagen regeneration compared to hyaluronic acid filler treatments
- Smoother transition and natural enhancement over time
- A solution that treats volume loss and improves skin firmness without looking done
SKIN HEALTH & LIFESTYLE BENEFITS
Sculptra enhances not just the look, but the health of your skin. By supporting collagen growth at a cellular level, it strengthens your skin against future aging signs, such as:
- Skin laxity and sagging
- Deep wrinkles and folds
- Discolouration or textural changes
Additionally, Sculptra allows you to return to normal activities shortly after treatment. You won’t need to disrupt your work or social schedule, and you’ll enjoy subtle, continuous improvements for months to come.
