Sculptra

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an advanced injectable treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by naturally boosting collagen production. Made with poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material with a history of 25 years and numerous published clinical evidence to support its efficacy and safety.

Sculptra works with your skin to gradually restore volume and create a rejuvenated appearance over time.

Sculptra improves skin thickness, tightness, firmness and luminosity.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that offer instant results, Sculptra gradually stimulates cells within your skin to produce its own collagen.

Although results develop slowly, the effects are long-lasting—often up to two years.

Key Benefits of Sculptra

• Natural-Looking Results: Enhances facial contours in an undetectable way, leaving a very natural aesthetic.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last for up to two years.
• Gradual Improvement: Subtle changes over time ensure a more natural transformation.
• Anti-Ageing: Reduces signs of ageing by replenishing collagen.
• Versatile Treatment: Suitable for multiple areas of the face and neck.

What Sculptra Treatment Does
Sculptra effectively addresses several concerns associated with ageing and facial volume loss:

• Volume Restoration: Rebuilds volume in hollow or sunken areas.
• Skin Firming: Re-plumps loose skin to achieve a smoother, youthful look.
• Facial Symmetry: Restores balance to facial features.
• Natural Adaptability: Moves naturally with facial expressions, giving a soft, youthful enhancement.

The Sculptra Procedure
Duration: The treatment typically takes around 30 minutes, with an additional 1 to 1.5 hours for the numbing cream to take full effect.

Results Timeline: Initial changes appear around 6 weeks post-treatment, with peak results between 8 and 12 weeks.

How Long Does Sculptra Last?
Sculptra provides some of the longest-lasting results among non-surgical facial treatments, with effects lasting up to 2 years

Factors like age, lifestyle, and health may influence the longevity of results.

Where is Sculptra Injected?

Sculptra is usually injected sub dermal (under the skin) in the lateral aspects of the face. This stimulates collagen in these areas which tightens, and results in a more taught final appearance.

Sculptra vs. soft tissue filler: Which is Right for You?

Both Sculptra and fillers offer anti-ageing benefits but work in different ways:

Sculptra: Gradually builds collagen over 2-4 sessions, creating natural and long-lasting firmness, thickness and tightens to the face.

Filler: Provides immediate facial volume with a hyaluronic gel filler for instant results and may be appropriate if you have volume deficits or are in need of further facial harmonisation and reshaping.

Sometimes, combination treatments are advisable for optimum results. This is discussed after a thorough facial consultation.

If you prefer subtle, natural-looking enhancements that last, Sculptra may be the ideal choice

Side Effects: Possible bruising, redness and swelling.

Risks: Rarely allergic reaction, lumps or infection.

All details are discussed during your consultation and what your recommended dosage will be.
