Explore how collagen-based rejuvenation, advanced injector technique, and our signature Awaken Lift create long-lasting, undetectable facial renewal for patients across Amarillo and West Texas.
Sculptra
Natural, Long-Lasting Facial Rejuvenation Through Collagen Restoration
There comes a point in nearly every aesthetic journey when traditional dermal fillers stop delivering the results they once did. The face begins to look either overfilled or increasingly tired. Volume seems to disappear faster, and adding more filler doesn't always translate to a better outcome.
For patients across West Texas and the Panhandle who want to refresh their appearance without looking "filled," Sculptra offers a beautifully natural alternative.
At Awaken Medical Aesthetics in Amarillo, we specialize in collagen-based rejuvenation that supports your features rather than disguising them. Under the medical direction of Kati Howard, MSN, FNP, and delivered by advanced-trained nurse injectors, Sculptra has become one of our most requested treatments for patients who want subtle, structural, graceful anti-aging.
When Dermal Fillers Are No Longer Cutting It
Hyaluronic acid fillers are wonderful tools, especially for restoring soft, localized volume in the lips, cheeks, or under-eye area. But as collagen loss progresses, many patients begin noticing:
- Their filler doesn't last as long as it used to
- Their face looks "deflated" even with filler
- They feel puffy in some areas but still hollow in others
- They look good right after treatment… but the results fade quickly
- Their injector keeps adding product, yet something still feels "off"
This happens because traditional fillers address symptoms, not causes. If the deeper issue is collagen depletion, filling the space with gel is only a temporary solution. What the skin truly needs is collagen restoration, not more filler.
This is precisely where Sculptra excels, and why we've built our signature non-surgical facelift treatments around it.
Signs of Facial Aging: Understanding the Root Cause
Facial aging isn't just about wrinkles. It's about structural change. As early as your mid-20s, collagen production begins to drop about 1% each year. In your 30s and 40s, this loss becomes noticeable as:
- Flattening of the midface, especially flat cheeks
- Hollow temples
- Deepening nasolabial and marionette folds
- Sagging, loose jawline and jowls
- Thinner, weaker skin that bruises more easily
- A more tired or deflated appearance overall
- Loss of facial definition and contour
Because these changes are tied to collagen loss, solutions that help your skin rebuild its own support structures lead to more authentic, longer-lasting results than simply adding more filler.
Biostimulators
What Is a Biostimulator, And How Does It Differ From Dermal Fillers?
A biostimulator is an injectable treatment that encourages your body to produce more of its own collagen. Instead of filling lines with gel, biostimulators improve the underlying quality, thickness, and structure of the skin.
Dermal fillers = add volume in strategic places
Biostimulators = rebuild volume from within by stimulating collagen and elastin growth
The result is:
- Gradual, natural improvement
- Restored facial contour without looking "done"
- Firmer, more elastic skin
- Long-lasting rejuvenation (up to 2+ years)
Sculptra is one of the most respected biostimulators in medical aesthetics, known for its subtlety, longevity, and beautifully authentic results.
Complimentary ConsultCollagen Stimulation with Sculptra
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that has been used safely in medical applications for decades. When injected, Sculptra stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production, to create new collagen, restoring volume gradually and improving the overall architecture of the skin.
Unlike fillers that show immediate results, Sculptra works progressively over several weeks and months. You'll look refreshed, lifted, and smoother, all without looking "done." Friends will notice you look rested and healthy, they just won't know why.
Where Is Sculptra Injected?
At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, Sculptra is commonly used in areas where deep structural support and collagen rebuilding are most needed, including:
- Temples (hollow temple restoration)
- Cheeks (midface volume loss)
- Midface (general facial deflation)
- Jawline (for definition and lifting sagging skin)
- Pre-auricular area (in front of the ears, for lifting)
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin)
- Chin (for projection and contour)
These injections support the framework of the face, lifting and smoothing in a way that complements your natural anatomy, not fighting against it.

Improved Skin Quality
Beyond soft volume restoration, Sculptra significantly enhances skin quality by stimulating collagen production. Patients notice firmer, more elastic skin with a smoother, healthier texture; results that traditional fillers cannot achieve on their own.
Popular treatment areas include:
Long-Lasting Results
Because Sculptra works by helping your body rebuild collagen, the effects can last two years or more. While HA fillers often require regular maintenance every 6–9 months, Sculptra offers longevity that makes it a smart, cost-effective investment.
Natural, Gradual Transformation
Sculptra doesn't give you an overnight dramatic change. Instead, it works gradually, so your friends and family notice you look great, but can't put their finger on what changed. That's exactly what most of our patients want.
Versatility
Sculptra is incredibly versatile. It can improve hollow temples, deep folds, overall facial deflation, and generalized volume loss. Beyond the face, it's also commonly used for the chest, knees, buttocks, and other areas that need skin tightening or collagen support.
Sculptra isn't just about looking younger; it's about restoring the strength, resilience, and vitality your skin once had.
Less is More
Other Areas Where Sculptra Is Used (Beyond the Face)
Sculptra's collagen-boosting benefits extend well beyond facial rejuvenation. We also use it to improve:
- Chest and décolletage (for lines and crepey texture)
- Upper arms (improving skin laxity)
- Abdomen (tightening loose skin)
- Thighs (smoothing texture)
- Knees (addressing crepey skin)
Wherever the skin needs structure, firmness, and natural improvement, Sculptra can be adapted for beautiful results
Complimentary ConsultThe Awaken Lift & Awaken Mini Lift: Non-Surgical Facelift with Sculptra
At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, we've developed two signature non-surgical facelift treatments that combine the power of Sculptra with strategic use of other advanced injectables to deliver comprehensive, natural-looking facial rejuvenation, without surgery, without downtime, and without looking "done."
What Is a Non-Surgical Facelift?
A non-surgical facelift uses a combination of injectables to lift, contour, and restore youthful facial structure without incisions or anesthesia. It addresses the root causes of aging: collagen loss, volume depletion, and loss of facial support, through strategic placement of biostimulators, dermal fillers, and neuromodulators.
The result? A refreshed, lifted appearance that looks like you, just more rested, vibrant, and youthful.
The Awaken Lift: Full Non-Surgical Facelift
The Awaken Lift is our comprehensive non-surgical facelift designed for patients who want significant facial rejuvenation without surgery. This treatment is ideal if you're noticing:
- Significant midface volume loss
- Sagging jowls or loss of jawline definition
- Hollow temples and cheeks
- Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Overall facial deflation and tired appearance
What's Included in the Awaken Lift:
1. Sculptra - The foundation of the treatment, used to rebuild collagen in the temples, cheeks, midface, and jawline for long-lasting structural support.
2. Hyperdilute Radiesse - A collagen-stimulating injectable that provides immediate lift while also triggering collagen production. We use hyperdilute Radiesse for skin quality improvement, jawline contouring, and neck rejuvenation. (link to radiesse page)
3. Strategic Hyaluronic Acid Fillers - We use premium HA fillers to add targeted volume and definition where needed:
- Volux - For jawline definition and chin projection
- Voluma - For cheek volume and midface lift
- Ultra Plus - For deeper folds and structural support
4. Botox/Dysport - To soften dynamic wrinkles, lift the brow, smooth forehead lines, and relax muscles that contribute to downward pulling of the face.
The Awaken Lift Approach
This isn't a one-size-fits-all treatment. We customize every Awaken Lift based on your unique facial anatomy, aging patterns, and aesthetic goals. The treatment is typically performed over 2-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart, allowing us to build results gradually and naturally.
Benefits Of The Awaken Lift
- Comprehensive facial rejuvenation without surgery
- Natural-looking lift and contour
- Improved skin quality from collagen stimulation
- Long-lasting results (2+ years for Sculptra component)
- Customized to your unique face and goals
The Awaken Mini Lift: Targeted Non-Surgical Facelift
The Awaken Mini Lift is a more targeted version of our full facelift protocol, designed for patients who want to address specific areas of concern or who are earlier in their aging journey. This treatment is perfect if you're noticing:
- Early signs of volume loss in the midface
- Beginning jowl formation
- Mild to moderate nasolabial folds
- Loss of cheek definition
- You want preventative anti-aging
What's Included in the Awaken Mini Lift:
The Mini Lift uses a scaled-down version of our full protocol, typically focusing on 1-2 key areas with a combination of:
1. Sculptra - For collagen rebuilding in targeted areas like cheeks or temples
2. Hyperdilute Radiesse - For skin quality and subtle lifting
3. Strategic HA Fillers - Typically one area of focus (like cheeks with Voluma or jawline with Volux)
4. Botox/Dysport - To address dynamic wrinkles and provide subtle lift
Benefits of the Awaken Mini Lift:
- Targeted improvement in your areas of concern
- More accessible price point than full facelift, designed especially for those with early signs of volume loss and slight gravitational aging.
- Great for injectable maintenance or early intervention
- Can be upgraded to a full Awaken Lift later

What to Expect at Your Sculptra/Non-Surgical Facelift Appointment at Awaken
Consultation
Your experience begins with a thorough consultation to assess your anatomy, collagen levels, and aesthetic goals. We'll map out a treatment plan that targets the deeper causes of aging rather than simply addressing surface concerns.
We'll discuss:
- Your specific concerns and goals
- Which treatment is right for you (Sculptra alone, Awaken Lift, or Awaken Mini Lift)
- Realistic expectations and timeline
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
During Treatment
Sculptra is injected with meticulous attention to balance, symmetry, and safety. The appointment is comfortable, quick (typically 30-45 minutes), and designed with our signature blend of professionalism and warm hospitality.
For Awaken Lift or Mini Lift, the treatment time will vary depending on the number of products and areas being treated, but typically ranges from 60-90 minutes.
After Treatment
Afterward, you may see some initial fullness from the injection fluid, which absorbs over a few days. Your collagen then begins its gradual rebuilding process, revealing smoother, firmer, more lifted skin over the next few months.
Aftercare Includes:
- Massage instructions (for Sculptra)
- Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Sleeping elevated the first night
- Follow-up appointments to assess progress
You can return to normal activities immediately. No time off of work needed.
