SCULPTRA

Sculptra is a premier bio-stimulatory injectable designed to restore the skin’s inner structure and youthful bounce. Unlike traditional fillers that simply mask volume loss, Sculptra uses a proprietary formulation of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) to act as a powerful collagen scaffold.

By working deep within the dermis, it triggers the body’s own natural collagen production, effectively tightening the facial contours and subtly restoring lost volume. The result is a gradual, sophisticated liquid lift that provides firm, rejuvenated skin with results that look entirely natural and last significantly longer than standard treatments.

Rebuilds the foundation of the skin rather than just filling lines.
Results emerge gradually, avoiding the overnight look of traditional fillers.
Benefits can continue to improve for months and often last up to two years.
Uses PLLA, a well-established material that the body naturally absorbs over time.

Frequently asked Questions

What is Sculptra?

Think of Sculptra as an internal scaffold for your face. While traditional fillers provide an instant, gel-based volume, Sculptra is a bio-activator. It uses micro-particles of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) to signal your body to repair the area by growing fresh, new collagen. As the PLLA is naturally absorbed by your body, it leaves behind a reinforced network of your own natural collagen, which gradually lifts and thickens the skin for a more youthful, firmer foundation.

When will results show?

Patience is essential with Sculptra because it relies on your body’s biological clock. While you may see some immediate plumping from the sterile water used in the injection, this subsides within a few days. The real, long-term results begin to emerge gradually as your collagen levels increase. You will typically start to see visible improvements in volume and skin firmness around 6 to 8 weeks after treatment, with the full, peak results appearing 3 to 6 months after your final session.

Is it safe?

Yes, Sculptra is exceptionally safe. It is FDA-approved and has an established track record of over 20 years in aesthetic medicine. Because it is made from synthetic PLLA, it is biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning your body naturally breaks it down and eliminates it once the collagen-building process is complete. Since it contains no animal or human components, no allergy testing is required before treatment.

Are there any side effects?

As with any injectable, the most common side effects are mild and temporary. You may experience redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. In rare cases, small, firm bumps (nodules) can form under the skin weeks or months later; however, these are typically not visible and can be minimised by following our aftercare advice.

What is advised after the treatment?

To ensure a smooth and natural outcome, it is essential to follow the 5-5-5 Rule by gently massaging the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five days. This simple routine guarantees the even distribution of the product, which effectively prevents lumps and promotes uniform collagen growth throughout the skin. Following your treatment, please avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours, and ensure SPF 50 is worn daily to protect your skin as it begins its regenerative process
