The Auri Standard for Collagen-Focused Care

Auri Aesthetics was founded in 2020 by Rechelle Trejo, FNP-C, CLT, a national trainer for Galderma and Allergan with more than two decades of experience in aesthetic medicine. Trejo built the practice on the belief that beauty and wellness are inseparable, and that same philosophy guides every long-term volume and texture plan the Auri team designs for patients traveling in from Mesa.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment built around poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable compound that has supported medical devices like dissolvable sutures for more than two decades. Rather than adding immediate volume the way a traditional filler does, Sculptra works with the body's own biology, prompting the skin to rebuild collagen gradually in areas that have lost structure and fullness over time.

At Auri Aesthetics, this slower, biology-first approach pairs naturally with the practice's broader philosophy: results that develop with intention instead of appearing overnight. Patients traveling from Mesa typically use Sculptra to address hollowing along the cheeks and temples, nasolabial folds, and other areas where volume has softened, with changes that reveal themselves across several months rather than a single visit.

Benefits of Sculptra

  • Stimulates the body's own collagen production rather than simply adding filler
  • Approved to address nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other areas of volume loss
  • Results build gradually, so changes read as a natural evolution rather than a sudden shift
  • Commonly used off-label to restore volume in the cheeks and temples
  • Minimal downtime, so most patients return to normal activities right away
  • Free of animal, human, or bacterial components, with a long-standing safety record

Am I a Good Candidate for Sculptra?

Good candidates for Sculptra in Mesa, AZ, are adults who have noticed gradual volume loss in the midface, such as hollow cheeks, flattened temples, or deepening nasolabial folds, and who are drawn to a treatment that favors subtlety over sudden change. Because Sculptra works over a series of sessions, it tends to suit patients who value a longer-term plan and are comfortable waiting several months to see full results.

A consultation with the Auri team is the clearest way to confirm whether this approach aligns with your skin, your timeline, and your goals.

Why Choose Auri Aesthetics for Sculptra?

Patients who travel from Mesa for Sculptra work with a team built around Trejo's twenty-plus years in aesthetic medicine and her ongoing role as a national trainer for Galderma and Allergan, a position that keeps her clinical techniques aligned with the field's most respected standards. That same training philosophy extends through Auri Academy, the practice's in-house education program for injectors nationwide, meaning every provider on staff continues to refine their eye for anatomy and proportion long after initial certification.

Combined with Auri's custom-designed space and whole-person approach to wellness, the practice offers Mesa patients a level of clinical rigor and intentional care that can be hard to find elsewhere in the Valley.

Your Consultation

A Sculptra consultation at Auri begins with an honest conversation, not a sales pitch. The clinical team will assess your skin's volume loss, discuss your timeline and goals, and walk through how many treatment sessions may be appropriate for your anatomy. You'll leave with a clear, personalized plan and a realistic picture of what gradual collagen building can and can't do for your face.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of Sculptra varies based on the number of vials and sessions your treatment plan calls for, along with the areas being addressed. Because every patient's volume loss and goals are different, Auri Aesthetics prefers to provide accurate pricing only after a consultation, once your personalized plan has been outlined.

What to Expect During Sculptra Treatment

Your Treatment Sessions

Most Sculptra plans involve a series of sessions, often spaced several weeks apart, so the clinical team can layer results gradually rather than all at once. Before injecting, your provider will typically apply a topical numbing option to help keep the experience comfortable.

The Injection Process

During each session, Sculptra is injected into targeted areas, such as the cheeks, temples, or nasolabial folds, using techniques designed to distribute the product evenly beneath the skin. Sessions tend to be quick, and most patients return to their regular routine shortly after.

Building Toward Full Results

Because Sculptra depends on your body's own collagen response, visible changes tend to appear gradually over the weeks following each session, with full results typically taking several months to develop as treatments progress.

Sculptra Recovery

Recovery after Sculptra is generally minimal. Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites is common in the first few days and typically resolves on its own without any special care.

Most patients return to work and regular activities right away, though the Auri team may recommend gently massaging treated areas at home in the days following treatment to help distribute the product evenly.

Sculptra Results

Results from Sculptra build in stages rather than appearing all at once, with most patients noticing initial improvement within four to eight weeks of a session. Full results continue to develop over the following months as collagen production increases, and the effects can last two years or longer, depending on the individual and the treatment plan.

Alternative, Related, and Complementary Procedures

  • Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid options that add immediate volume for patients who want visible results right away.
  • Radiesse®: Another collagen-stimulating injectable, often used for structural support in the hands and face.
  • Juvéderm®: A smooth-gel filler family suited to lips, cheeks, and finer lines that call for instant correction.
  • PRP / PRF: Treatments that use your own blood's growth factors to support skin quality and healing.
  • RF Microneedling: A skin-tightening treatment that pairs well with Sculptra for patients addressing both volume and laxity.

Sculptra FAQs

Is Sculptra FDA-approved, and how does Auri determine if it's right for me?

Yes, Sculptra is FDA-approved for aesthetic use. Beyond approval status, the clinical team reviews your health history and anatomy during your consultation to confirm it's an appropriate fit before any treatment begins.

Are there any risks or areas where Sculptra shouldn't be used?

Sculptra is not recommended for use in the eye or lip areas. Rarer risks, such as small bumps beneath the skin, are uncommon but possible, and your provider will walk you through the full risk profile during your consultation.

Does Sculptra hurt during treatment?

Most patients describe the sensation as mild, and any soreness at the injection sites tends to fade within a day or two.

Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Many patients pair Sculptra with treatments like RF Microneedling or dermal fillers to address both volume loss and skin texture in one overall plan.

Will my results look natural, or will people notice I've had treatment?

Sculptra is designed to enhance rather than alter, so results are meant to develop subtly over time rather than announce themselves. Most patients find the gradual timeline helps changes blend naturally into how their face already looks.

Is there anything I need to do to prepare for my Sculptra appointment?

Your consultation will cover any steps worth taking beforehand based on your health history and treatment plan. Most patients don't need extensive preparation, though the Auri team will flag anything specific to your case.
