What Is Sculptra® Buttock Enhancement?
Sculptra® Sculptra® Buttock Enhancement is a non-surgical contouring procedure using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Once injected, Sculptra® gradually stimulates your body’s own collagen production within the gluteal tissue, progressively adding volume, improving firmness, and refining skin quality. Unlike implants, results develop naturally over time with virtually minimal downtime. Optimal outcomes are typically achieved after a series of sessions and can last two years or more.
Treatment Specifications
- What is injected: Collagen-stimulating injectable
- Mechanism of action: Stimulates the body’s own collagen production over weeks to months
Sculptra® How buttock enhancement works
Sculptra® Once the PLLA microparticles are injected into the gluteal tissue, they act as a scaffold that activates fibroblasts and stimulates robust new collagen formation. The newly generated collagen progressively increases tissue volume and structural support, resulting in a fuller, firmer, and more lifted contour. Results develop gradually over weeks to months following treatment — natural-looking and long-lasting.
