Subtle. Gradual. Long-Lasting.
Now offered at Shah Med Spa in Boston and Westwood
At Shah Med Spa, we offer Sculptra® Aesthetic, a unique biostimulatory injectable designed to restore volume gradually by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra works deep within the skin to rebuild its underlying structure—creating smoother, firmer, and more youthful contours over time.
With Dr. Sajani Shah’s expert approach to facial rejuvenation, our patients benefit from personalized Sculptra treatment plans that deliver refined, natural-looking results that last up to two years or more.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra® (poly-L-lactic acid) is an FDA-approved injectable that works as a collagen stimulator, helping your body rebuild lost facial volume over time. As we age, we lose collagen — a key structural protein responsible for firmness and elasticity. Sculptra addresses the root cause of facial aging by encouraging your own body to produce new collagen, restoring volume from within.
This treatment is ideal for those looking for subtle, progressive improvement that enhances their appearance without the telltale signs of having had “work done.”
What Does Sculptra Treat?
- Cheek hollows and volume loss
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Marionette lines
- Temples and midface
- Jawline definition
- General skin laxity and thinning
- Overall facial aging due to collagen loss
Sculptra is also an excellent option for prejuvenation — maintaining youthful contours before major volume loss begins — and for patients seeking a longer-lasting alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers.
Why Choose Dr. Shah?
Dr. Sajani Shah brings a skilled, artistic approach to all injectable treatments. With her background in both aesthetic and surgical medicine, she understands the importance of facial harmony, subtlety, and long-term skin health.
Dr. Shah carefully evaluates your facial structure, collagen density, and treatment goals before recommending Sculptra. Her method ensures gradual improvement that enhances—not alters—your natural beauty.
What to Expect from Treatment
- Treatment Time: 30–45 minutes
- Comfort: Lidocaine is mixed into the solution for a more comfortable experience
- Downtime: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and typically resolves in a few days
- Results: Gradual improvement over 6–12 weeks as new collagen is formed
- Longevity: Results can last up to 2 years or more with a full treatment series
At Shah Med Spa, we typically recommend one vial of Sculptra per decade of life, spaced out over 2–3 sessions for optimal collagen stimulation and balanced volume restoration. For example, someone in their 40s would ideally receive 4 vials distributed across a customized treatment plan. This guideline ensures a natural, proportional result tailored to your skin’s unique needs.
Common Questions About Sculptra
Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which provide immediate volume by physically filling the area, Sculptra stimulates your body to build its own collagen over time. This means the results are more gradual and long-lasting — giving a naturally refreshed look without sudden changes.
Sculptra results appear progressively over several weeks. You’ll notice a gradual softening of lines and improved volume and skin texture as collagen is rebuilt. This slow improvement is one of the reasons Sculptra looks so natural.
With a full treatment series, results can last up to 24 months or more. Many patients return once a year for maintenance to keep collagen levels high and aging at bay.

Absolutely. At Shah Med Spa, Sculptra is often combined with PRP, microneedling, laser treatments, or other injectables to address multiple signs of aging. Dr. Shah will create a tailored plan to meet your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
