As people age, their bodies produce less collagen, and existing collagen breaks down faster. When skin loses the support that collagen delivers, it causes sagging, wrinkles, and a loss of volume.
Skin Boutique helps people look their best at any age. To do this, we proactively invest in training cutting-edge techniques and acquiring state-of-the-art technology to improve skin health and appearance.

Sculptra as a Biostimulator
Sometimes, people confuse Sculptra with dermal fillers. Though it can provide some lifting when injected, Sculptra’s true purpose is as a biostimulator, increasing collagen and elastin production.
Containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) as an active ingredient, Sculptra works with your body’s natural abilities to enhance collagen production in your dermal layers. Over time, Sculptra’s effects contour and restore volume to the mid and lower face, as well as the temples. Our clients experience facelift-style enhancements, including:
- Restored volume in the temples and cheeks
- Reduced nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Lifted jowls
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Because Sculptra helps your body rebuild its dermal scaffolding, it can also aid in body contouring efforts, including:
- Nonsurgical Brazilian butt lift
- Hip dips
- Improvement to the decolletage
Sculptra injections in Oakland County, MI, add volume, fullness, and radiance to your skin wherever they’re placed. They work gradually, creating natural-looking results over several months.

FAQs About Sculptra Injections
Because Sculptra works differently from more well-known treatments, like dermal fillers or neurotoxins (such as Botox), questions arise commonly—and we’re happy to answer.
What is the best age to get Sculptra?
No specific age group is the best for Sculptra. However, the goals of using Sculptra can be different for some groups than others.
- Over 18 for volume enhancement after weight loss, skin sagging from genetics, etc.
- Late 20s/early 30s for “prejuvenation” and prevention
- 40s and older to restore lost volume and reduce signs of aging
What is the 5-5-5 rule for Sculptra?
When you head back to your day after having Sculptra injections, you need to remember the 5-5-5 rule:
Massage the injected area 5 times a day for 5 minutes over 5 days.
Gentle massaging keeps the Sculptra evenly spread across the treatment area, preventing the formation of lumps. It also stimulates natural collagen production across the treatment area. We give you instructions on best practices so that you can get the most from your Sculptra treatment.
