Sculptra Cellulite Therapy in Kansas City + Liberty
The Longest FDA-Cleared Duration for Cellulite.
Performed by one of our experienced registered nurses, Sculptra cellulite therapy treats the primary structural cause of cellulite for a smooth, healthy look and long-lasting results.
Clinical studies show no recurrence of cellulite after three years. Due to those studies, there should never be a recurrence of the treated cellulite. During your initial consultation for Sculptra cellulite therapy at our Kansas City or Liberty office, we will evaluate your cellulite and goals to create a treatment plan tailored to you.

Results
Your results from a Sculptra cellulite therapy treatment appear gradually, with collagen continuing to build in the treated area up to 24 months following treatment. Typically, 2 to 4 Sculptra vials* spread between 2 treatment sessions are recommended. Once you achieve your final results, they can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years.

How does Sculptra cellulite therapy work?
Over 80% of women experience cellulite – the creation of small dimples caused by fat cells that swell when trapped near the surface of the skin. Sculptra cellulite therapy uses a method known as subcision – a process that involves inserting a small needle into the affected area and injecting Sculptra, a PLLA (poly-l-lactic acid), to kickstart the production of natural collagen. This process plumps out dimples for visibly smooth skin.

The Sculptra Cellulite Therapy System Process
01
Pre-Treatment
We will begin by marking the affected areas while the client is in a standing position. We will also administer any pre-medication indicated by the physician.
02
The Treatment
The provider inserts a microblade to treat the connective bands just under the skin. Sculptra (poly-l-lactic acid) is then injected into the layers under the skin to stimulate collagen growth.
03
Post-Care
The client will wear a compression garment for 1-2 weeks post procedure. Most clients can go back to work the day after the treatments. Clients will be required to perform multiple post treatment massages on the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days post initial treatment. This will maximize treatment results.
04
Follow-Up Photos
We will schedule a follow-up photo session 60-90 days post treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions.
How long do results last?
Results can be seen as quickly as the first week and improves over time. Results typically continue to last for upwards of 2-5 years. Maintenance treatments can be needed to maintain long term results pending personal expectations.
Does Sculptra involve cutting?
Sculptra does not involve an operating room or general anesthesia. It relies on a minimally invasive, small needle-sized device to inject a (poly-l-lactic acid) just beneath the surface of the skin.
Does the treatment hurt?
The insertion point will be treated with lidocaine (injected) by your provider to allow for a more comfortable treatment. After this, there is little discomfort during the treatment.
Will I need to take time off work?
There is limited downtime associated with Sculptra cellulite therapy. Some patients experience initial soreness and tenderness after numbing has subsided, but these side effects resolve quickly with time. Most patients return to work the day following treatment.
