What Are Collagen Injections?
Collagen injections are injectable treatments that stimulate your body’s own collagen production deep within the skin. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers—which add temporary volume—Sculptra works beneath the surface to rebuild skin structure over time.
Which Collagen Boost Is Best? Injections, Fillers, or Skincare?
When it comes to restoring facial volume and stimulating collagen, not all treatments are created equal. Sculptra collagen injections are the only injectable collagen stimulator approved in Canada, working deep within the skin to gradually rebuild structure and volume. Unlike HA (hyaluronic acid) fillers, which provide instant results but typically last only 6 to 12 months and do not stimulate collagen, Sculptra offers a long-lasting solution, up to 2 years with results that improve over time. Topical collagen creams, while popular, offer minimal collagen stimulation and short-term effects at best. For those seeking a natural, long-term approach to facial rejuvenation, Sculptra stands out as the gold standard.

Sculptra collagen injections are available at all 14 Skin Vitality Medical Clinic locations across Ontario. Wherever you’re located from, Whitby to London, expert Sculptra treatments are always close by.
Why Sculptra Is the Leading Collagen Stimulator
Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that encourages the skin to rebuild collagen naturally. It’s approved by Health Canada and the FDA for facial volume loss and facial folds, with results that can last up to two years.
Why Sculptra Stands Out:
- Triggers your body’s natural collagen production
- Results develop gradually, offering a refreshed, not overdone look
- Ideal for full-face rejuvenation, not just isolated areas
- A trusted treatment backed by science and clinical results
Sculptra isn’t just a filler, it’s a collagen facial treatment that works with your skin’s biology.

Where Can Collagen Injections Be Used?
Sculptra can treat multiple areas of the face affected by volume loss or collagen decline:
- Temples – hollowing at the upper face
- Cheeks – sunken or deflated midface
- Smile lines – nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines – corners of the mouth
- Jawline – mild definition and structural support
It’s not recommended for areas with thin skin, such as the lips or eyelids.

What to Expect from a Collagen Injection Appointment
Wondering what your Sculptra treatment will look like? Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation & Mapping – Your injector will assess facial volume and outline treatment areas.
- Injection Session – A cannula or fine needle delivers the product into targeted layers of skin.
- Treatment Time – Most sessions take 30–60 minutes.
- Recovery – Mild swelling or bruising is common. Avoid facials, massage, or pressure on the area for 1–2 days.
- Collagen Production Timeline – Collagen builds gradually over 6–12 weeks, with most clients requiring 2–3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
There’s little to no downtime, and results continue to improve over time.
Is It Right for Me?
Sculptra collagen injections are ideal for:
- Adults ages 30 to 60+ experiencing early to moderate facial volume loss
- Those seeking a natural alternative to traditional fillers
- Clients looking to boost collagen without surgery
- Individuals who prefer slow, subtle improvement rather than immediate change
Sculptra is not suited for thin-skinned areas like the lips or eyelids, but it’s highly effective for the cheeks, temples, and jawline.

FAQ's About Sculptra
Sculptra is a non-invasive, injectable treatment that uses poly-L-lactic acid to restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles. It’s a biostimulator that helps stimulate your own natural collagen production to smooth facial wrinkles and improve skin tightness, revealing a refreshed-looking you.
The price of Sculptra can fluctuate depending on your personal aesthetic goals. You may need multiple syringes in a single session, or a single syringe to achieve your desired results. Book a FREE Consultation & Assessment with a member of our medical team to determine exactly how much your treatment will cost.
Sculptra Facial Rejuvenation results improve over time and results last from two to three years without a lengthy recovery period!
The Sculptra treatment entails minimal pain during injections and a brief recovery period. Patients may receive a topical numbing agent to ease any discomfort, but any associated soreness is typically mild. Note that any soreness associated with the treatment is mild at most.
Sculptra gradually stimulates collagen production, which requires time. Initially, after injection, the product mixed with water absorbs over 1-2 days, seemingly with no immediate effect. Visible results may begin in 4-6 weeks, with full results typically visible after 3-4 months.
Sculptra, composed of poly-L-lactic acid in sterile water, boosts collagen production, restoring skin structure. Results may take up to two months, but the increased collagen lasts longer than most injectables, usually up to two years after multiple sessions. The breakdown of new tissue afterward varies based on factors like genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices. A maintenance session may be required, if outlined during assessment.
It’s best suited for individuals experiencing early signs of aging or mild to moderate volume loss. A personalized consultation will help determine if Sculptra is the right choice for your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Common side effects are usually mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, or minor bruising at the injection sites. Most patients appreciate that they can resume their normal activities right after treatment.
