What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that stimulates the skin to produce new collagen. Rather than giving an instant result like filler, it works gradually over a course of treatments, restoring lost support and improving skin quality.

Because change builds over months, results tend to look very natural — friends notice you look well, rather than that something has been done.

Is It Right for You?

Sculptra tends to suit people with gradual volume loss, thinning skin or early laxity who are happy to wait for results to develop. It is commonly used for the temples, cheeks and lower face.

It is not suitable for the lips or under-eyes, and it requires commitment to a course and aftercare massage. It cannot be dissolved, so careful assessment matters.

Benefits

  • Stimulates your own collagen production
  • Gradual, very natural-looking results
  • Long-lasting — often up to two years
  • Improves both support and skin quality
The Process

Your Treatment Journey

Consultation

We assess volume loss and skin quality, explain how Sculptra works and the commitment involved, and confirm suitability.

Treatment

Sculptra is placed with a needle or cannula. Each session takes around 45 minutes.

Recovery

Swelling, tenderness and bruising for a few days. The initial fullness from the liquid settles within days. Home massage is needed for several days afterwards.

Results & Aftercare

Collagen builds gradually, with improvement becoming visible over two to three months after each session.

Maintenance

A course of two to three sessions, four to six weeks apart, is typical. Results can last up to two years.

Filler gives an immediate result; Sculptra stimulates your own collagen gradually over months.

How many sessions will I need?

Why do I need to massage the area?

Massage helps distribute the product evenly and reduces the risk of small nodules forming.

How long does it last?

Results can last up to two years after a full course.

Can it be dissolved?

No, which is why careful assessment and technique matter.
