Sculptra in Torrance & the South Bay

Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating biostimulator that restores facial volume gradually and naturally — the opposite of an overfilled look. At HoneMD it's performed by experienced injectors under the medical direction of Dr. Shawn Abrishamy, MD.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biostimulator that prompts your body to rebuild its own collagen over time. Instead of adding instant volume the way a gel filler does, Sculptra works gradually — so the result looks like your skin simply aged in reverse, never "done."

Sculptra vs dermal filler — what's the difference?

A hyaluronic-acid dermal filler adds volume immediately and is ideal for shaping a specific feature like lips or cheeks. Sculptra is a biostimulator: it treats overall facial volume loss and skin quality, and the collagen it builds develops over several weeks. Many patients use fillers for definition and Sculptra for foundation.

How much does Sculptra cost at HoneMD?

Sculptra at HoneMD is $699, published upfront with no hidden fees and no consultation-day surprises. Your exact plan and the number of sessions are confirmed at your complimentary consultation — a $150 value.

How many sessions will I need, and how long does it last?

Most people need a short series of Sculptra sessions spaced a few weeks apart, because results build gradually as new collagen forms. Once complete, Sculptra results can last up to about two years, making it one of the longest-lasting collagen-stimulating treatments available.

Is it gentle and safe?

HoneMD specializes in gentle, pain-managed injections for nervous and first-time patients, using fine needles and a conservative, dose-first technique. Every treatment is performed by licensed medical professionals — Melissa Marrs-Luna, NP, Megan Olson, NP, and Kristin Wright, RN — under the medical direction of Dr. Shawn Abrishamy, MD.
