Experience collagen-powered results that look like you, just refreshed.
As we age, our skin loses more than just volume—it loses the deep structural support that keeps it firm, smooth, and lifted. If you’re noticing a more hollow look, sagging around the jawline, or fine lines that weren’t there before, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle.
At Vive Med Spa in Calgary, we believe the best treatments work with your body, not against it. That’s where Sculptra® comes in.
What Is Sculptra®, and Why Is It Different?
Sculptra® isn’t your typical filler. While traditional fillers add instant volume using gels like hyaluronic acid, Sculptra® is a bio-stimulator, which means it actually activates your body’s natural collagen production.
Its key ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), works gradually beneath the skin’s surface to rebuild your skin’s structure. The result?
- Gradual, natural-looking volume restoration
- Firmer, smoother skin over time
- Results that can last up to 2 years
Why Collagen Matters
Collagen is the protein that gives your skin strength and elasticity. By the time you hit your 30s, your body starts producing less collagen each year, and by your 40s, you may have lost up to 25% of it.
Sculptra® works like a wake-up call for your skin, stimulating your own collagen production and slowly improving skin texture, volume, and firmness with every session.
Where We Use It: Targeted, Subtle Enhancement
At Vive Med Spa, we specialize in natural-looking results. Our medical aesthetics experts use Sculptra® to restore volume in areas that tend to hollow with age:
- Lateral cheeks – for a lifted, refreshed look
- Temples – to smooth sunken or hollow areas
- Jawline – for subtle definition and youthful contour
- Lower face – to soften smile lines and sagging skin
Each treatment is tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals—no one-size-fits-all solutions.
2 Sculptra Treatments 8 weeks apart: Improved skin quality over cheeks, eyes and temples; firming, smoothing and more definition over cheeks, jawline and neck
Pairing Sculptra® With Other Treatments: Enhance, Lift, Hydrate & Define
Sculptra® is powerful on its own—but when combined with complementary treatments, it becomes part of a full-face rejuvenation strategy that lifts, smooths, and strengthens your skin’s foundation from the inside out.
Here are our expert-recommended pairings to maximize your results:
- EXION™ RF
Hydrate + Firm from Within
EXION™ RF uses deep radiofrequency energy to stimulate your body’s own production of hyaluronic acid by up to 224%. When combined with Sculptra®, this pairing enhances hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and improves elasticity, creating a supple, glowing finish.
- EMFACE™
Lift + Sculpt Facial Structure
EMFACE™ combines synchronized RF and HIFES™ technology to tone facial muscles and tighten skin, lifting and defining your cheeks, brows, and jawline. Together with Sculptra®, it’s the perfect non-invasive duo for contour and structure.
- Neuromodulators (Botox®, Nuceiva®)
Smooth + Refresh Your Expression
While Sculptra® rebuilds volume and firmness, neuromodulators soften lines caused by expression, like frown lines or crow’s feet. The result? A more rested, relaxed, and positive appearance, without losing your natural look.
- EXION™ Fractional RF Microneedling
Refine + Rejuvenate Skin Texture
Pairing Sculptra® with advanced microneedling refines skin at the surface. EXION™ Fractional RF targets texture irregularities, reduces scarring and fine lines, and enhances tone, while Sculptra® works deep to support long-term firmness.

The Timeline: What to Expect
Sculptra® is not an instant fix, and that’s what makes it so powerful. Here’s how the transformation typically works:
- Session 1–3 (spaced 4–6 weeks apart): Initial collagen stimulation begins
- Weeks 6–12: Gradual improvements in volume, firmness, and texture
- Months 3–6: Results continue to build—subtly, beautifully
- Up to 2 years of visible improvement
Unlike traditional fillers that fade within 6–12 months, Sculptra’s regenerative effects mean fewer touch-ups and more natural longevity.
