Sculptra

Gradual, Natural-Looking Rejuvenation

Sculptra is an advanced injectable treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s own collagen production, restoring volume and improving skin quality over time. Unlike dermal fillers, which add immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually for long-lasting, natural results.

The active ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) – a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that has been used in medical treatments for decades. Once injected via a cannula, Sculptra stimulates the body to produce new collagen, helping to smooth lines, lift sagging areas, and restore facial contours

Pre-Treatment Advice

Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications for 48 hours prior to treatment (unless prescribed by your doctor).
Do not have any other facial treatments (peels, lasers, microneedling) within 2 weeks before Sculptra.
Ensure the treatment area is free from infection, acne breakouts, or skin irritation.
Remove all makeup before your appointment.

Post-Treatment Care

Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to ensure even distribution and reduce the risk of nodule formation.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and extreme temperatures for 24 hours.
Do not apply makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
Use SPF 30+ daily to protect your skin.
Avoid other aesthetic treatments in the same area for 2–4 weeks after your procedure.

FAQs

What is Sculptra used for?

Sculptra is ideal for restoring facial volume, treating hollow areas (such as cheeks and temples), softening lines, and improving overall skin texture. It can also be used for non-surgical buttock enhancement and body skin tightening in suitable clients.

How does it work?

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, which works deep in the dermis to stimulate collagen production. Over the following weeks and months, this new collagen rebuilds your skin’s structure and volume naturally.

When will I see results?

Results develop gradually. You may notice some improvement after a few weeks, but the most significant results are usually seen after a series of treatments and continue to improve for several months.

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients require 2–3 treatment sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number will depend on your skin quality, volume loss, and desired outcome.

How long do the results last?

Results typically last up to 2 years, though individual longevity varies. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the effect.

Is there any downtime?

There is no downtime. The skin may initially appear red but will usually settle within 24 hours. Following aftercare advice is essential, and post-treatment reviews may be arranged.Most patients experience minimal downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites is normal and usually resolves within a few days.
