Collagen loss affects everyone as they age. Natural production declines, and with it, the skin’s internal framework weakens. As a result, we’re prone to seeing fine lines, wrinkles, and laxity develop over time.
However, collagen production can be restored using biostimulators like Sculptra.
At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, we help you age gracefully and look refreshed and youthful through all stages of life with this injectable.
Here’s what to expect from your Sculptra treatment in Fort Lauderdale.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved biostimulator. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add instant volume using hyaluronic acid, Sculptra works over time, encouraging your body to produce more collagen and resulting in elegant, natural results.
What to Expect From Your Sculptra Treatment
We recommend Sculptra for facial balancing, tightening skin, and restoring youthful contours. For your Sculptra treatment, here’s what to expect at Galt Dermatology.
Consultation
We start with an in-depth consultation where you meet with Dr. Miguel Villacorta, our distinguished board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology.
Dr. Villacorta will evaluate your unique facial structure and identify areas of volume loss and skin hollowing. He will also take the time to review your medical history and determine if you are the right candidate for collagen injections.
Next, he will take your picture so we can track your progress throughout the 2 years. Our intention is for you to look great for your age, but never to look like you’ve had any work done.
Injections
Dr. Villacorta takes a personalized approach to your Sculptra treatment. After cleansing and preparing your skin, he will strategically place Sculptra in your cheeks, temples, or jawline. Depending on your goals and your skin concerns, we may recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments to achieve optimal results and create the most natural-looking rejuvenation.
Recovery & Follow-Up
After your treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within 3 to 5 days. Makeup can be applied the next day to help conceal any residual bruising, and most patients return to their daily routine right away.
We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr. Villacorta approximately 8 weeks after your treatment. During this visit, we’ll evaluate your results, ensure your treatment is progressing as expected, and make any personalized adjustments if needed.
Results
Losing collagen is a gradual process; therefore, rebuilding it is also a gradual process. Within a few months of your first injections, you’ll notice improvements in your skin, as a more refreshed and youthful version of yourself begins to emerge. After 6 months, you’ll see full results from your Sculptra treatment in Fort Lauderdale that will last you for up to 2 years.
The best part is, you’ll never look “overdone.” Not only because Dr. Villacorta takes a thoughtful approach to aesthetics, always focusing on enhancing rather than overpowering your natural beauty, but also because Sculptra works with your body’s natural innate powers to restore volume.
Support Your Results
At our practice, your treatment doesn’t end after injections — it’s just the beginning of a long-term strategy for healthier, more radiant skin. Dr. Villacorta will provide tailored post-care instructions to help you maximize and maintain your Sculptra results. Because Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, we take a layered approach to amplify its effects and help you age beautifully.
To further support your skin’s vitality and collagen regeneration, we may recommend the following physician-grade treatments:
Microneedling with SkinPen or Morpheus8
SkinPen and Morpheus8 are advanced devices that use controlled micro-injuries to activate your skin’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin. Over time, this improves skin tone, texture, and firmness — from the inside out.
Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Lumecca targets sun damage, redness, broken capillaries, and pigmentation issues, helping to clear and brighten your complexion. This treatment pairs beautifully with injectables for a fresh, radiant look.
VI Peel
Our VI Peel is a powerful yet gentle medical-grade chemical peel designed to exfoliate damaged skin cells and encourage the growth of healthy, new skin. It improves skin clarity, tone, and texture, while supporting collagen renewal — making it the perfect complement to Sculptra’s long-term benefits.
Dr. Villacorta will work with you to create a personalized treatment timeline, helping you maintain healthy, glowing skin.
