Restylane® vs. Sculptra® — What’s Right for You?
When it comes to restoring facial volume, structure, and youthful definition, today’s aesthetic technology offers powerful options.
Among them, Restylane® and Sculptra® are two of the most trusted and transformative injectables available — both FDA-approved, scientifically advanced, and designed to rejuvenate the face in different ways.
At Belleza Integral by Laura Ramírez, our medical specialists often use both products — individually or together — as part of our exclusive Sculpt & Lift™ Program.
Let’s explore how they differ, complement each other, and which one may be right for you.
💎 What Is Restylane®?
Restylane® is a family of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that restore lost volume, soften wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
Because hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the skin, Restylane blends seamlessly with your tissues for an immediate, natural-looking result.
Popular uses:
- Midface volume restoration (Restylane Lyft®)
- Cheek and contour definition (Restylane Contour®)
- Smoothing nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Lip enhancement and hydration
Why clients love it:
- Immediate results after one session
- Soft, flexible texture that moves naturally
- Reversible if desired (with hyaluronidase)
- Lasts around 6–12 months, depending on area treated
Restylane is perfect for clients who want a visible yet subtle lift right away.
🌿 What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® (poly-L-lactic acid) is a collagen stimulator, not a filler.
It works by activating your body’s own regenerative process to gradually rebuild collagen and elastin, improving structure, firmness, and texture over time.
Popular uses:
- Volume restoration after weight loss
- Hollow temples, cheeks, or jawline
- Fine lines and skin laxity
- Global rejuvenation of the face and neck
Why clients love it:
- Gradual, natural improvement over 2–3 sessions
- Long-lasting results (up to 2 years)
- Improves overall skin quality and elasticity
- Perfect for subtle, “no one will know” rejuvenation
Sculptra is ideal for those seeking progressive, collagen-based results rather than immediate volume.
💫 The Power of Combining Both: The Sculpt & Lift™ Program
At Belleza Integral, we’ve developed a unique approach that combines the strengths of both injectables:
- Restylane® provides immediate lift, contour, and hydration.
- Sculptra® builds collagen from within for long-term structure and firmness.
Together, they create a balanced, elegant rejuvenation that:
- Restores lost facial volume
- Lifts and defines the midface
- Improves elasticity and glow
- Enhances results session after session
This program is ideal for clients experiencing facial thinning or sagging after weight loss or aging, and for anyone seeking a natural, artful rejuvenation.
💬 What to Expect During Treatment
Each session begins with a detailed facial mapping and aesthetic assessment.
The treatment itself takes about 30–45 minutes and involves minimal discomfort thanks to topical numbing.
You may experience mild redness or swelling that resolves within a day.
Our team prioritizes harmony and proportion — enhancing your natural features, never altering your unique expression.
🌸 Who Is a Good Candidate?
You might be an ideal candidate if you:
- Notice facial hollowing or sagging
- Desire natural results without surgery
- Have early signs of aging or collagen loss
- Prefer a gradual, regenerative approach
During your consultation, our specialists will determine whether Restylane, Sculptra, or a combination suits your needs best.
