Frequently asked questions
What does Sculptra treat?
Sculptra is FDA-approved for correcting shallow to deep folds beside the nose, fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek region, and other facial wrinkles. Discuss your specific facial concern and planned treatment area with Ava.
Is Sculptra the same as an immediate-volume filler?
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid and helps stimulate collagen over time. Early fullness after injections can reflect swelling rather than the final result. Your clinician can explain how it differs from other fillers.
How many visits should I plan?
A series may be needed. The number of sessions and product amount depend on your needs, with time between visits to assess gradual changes. Confirm your personal plan rather than booking a fixed series in advance.
How long do results last?
Manufacturer studies report improvement lasting up to two years in some participants. Your own result, treatment course and follow-up needs may differ.
What should I know about aftercare?
Swelling, tenderness, bruising or lumps can occur. Ask for your specific care instructions. Get urgent care for vision changes, unusual pain or pale skin during or shortly after facial injections.
How can I understand the total cost?
Ask Ava about the number of vials, planned visits and follow-up in your quote. Confirm the full appointment length as well as the cost of each session before booking.
Where can I plan my San Jose visit?
Ava is at 5945 Almaden Expressway, Suite 110, in San Jose’s Almaden Valley. Explore the contact page for location guidance, or call Ava to discuss appointment details.
What should I share before treatment?
Share allergies, previous filler, medicines and any history of raised scars or keloids. Sculptra should not be used with a known ingredient allergy or a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring. Discuss pregnancy, breastfeeding and active skin concerns before treatment.
