After noticing a change in her facial appearance , Valerie Wang decided to do some research into treatments available . (photo above, before and after Sculptra) A visit from a friend led Wang to consult a doctor about using Scupltra . By using the body 's own processes to stimulate the replacement of lost collagen , Sculptra helps combat facial wrinkles and folds that result from aging . The effects of Sculptra are gradual , but can last for around two weeks . Wang 's treatment took 30 minutes , and after two weeks she noticed her cheeks looked less sunken and her smile lines were less visible .
