Sculptra
Sculptra offers a powerful solution by working with your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra injections gradually rebuild your skin’s structure from within, delivering subtle, natural-looking results that improve over time.
Whether you’re targeting volume loss in the cheeks, jawline definition, or deep wrinkles, Sculptra collagen stimulators offer a refined approach to long-term facial rejuvenation.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable biostimulant made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic substance that has been used safely in medicine for decades. Rather than simply filling lines or hollow areas, Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, helping restore facial volume and improve skin quality gradually.
Over time, it enhances skin thickness, elasticity, and firmness—making it a popular choice for those seeking subtle improvements.
How does the treatment work?
Sculptra injections are delivered into the deeper layers of the skin, where the poly-L-lactic acid particles stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen, the protein responsible for skin structure and firmness.
Sculptra works gradually. As the PLLA micro-particles break down, they trigger the body’s natural regenerative process, helping the skin rebuild itself from within. Over several weeks, this new collagen helps plump hollow areas, smooth wrinkles, and improve facial contours.
Each treatment session typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. While there’s minimal downtime, mild swelling or bruising may occur for a few days after treatment. Most clients return to their normal routine right away.
Areas we can treat:
It’s ideal for treating facial volume loss, particularly in areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline. Sculptra is also effective for smoothing deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
What to expect after treatment:
After your Sculptra treatment you may experience temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, and possible bruising at the injection sites. These will usually subside within a few days. You may also experience mild tenderness or pain which can be managed with over the counter pain relief. If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact the clinic.
When to expect results:
Results develop gradually, with noticeable improvements typically appearing within 4 to 6 weeks after the first session. As your collagen levels build, the skin begins to look firmer, fuller, and more youthful.
For best results, a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is often recommended. Because Sculptra stimulates natural collagen production, results continue to improve for several months after the final treatment.
What sets Sculptra apart is its long-lasting effects; Results can last up to 2 years or more with proper skincare and maintenance.
