Sculptra®
Sculptra® is an advanced, injectable treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s own collagen production, restoring structure, firmness, and volume gradually over time.
Unlike dermal fillers, which provide instant results, Sculptra® works beneath the skin to encourage natural regeneration, offering subtle and long-lasting rejuvenation.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medicine for decades.
Once injected, it triggers a controlled collagen-building response, helping to:
Restore lost facial volume
Improve skin thickness and elasticity
Smooth lines, folds, and hollow areas
Rejuvenate the overall facial structure
The effects appear gradually, giving a refreshed, natural look that evolves over several months.
The Benefits of Sculptra

Restores volume and facial contours without looking “done”
Collagen Production
Stimulates natural collagen for long-term improvements
Long-Lasting
Subtle, progressive results that last up to 2 years
Versatile

The Treatment
Treatment usually takes around 45 minutes and involves a series of injections tailored to your individual needs. For best results, a course of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended. The results develop gradually, with improvements continuing for months as new collagen is formed.

Results, before and afters
Sculptra® is an injectable collagen biostimulator containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Instead of simply adding volume, it works by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production to restore structure, firmness, and youthful contours gradually over time.
What is Sculptra®?
FAQ's
Dermal fillers provide instant volume by placing hyaluronic acid gel beneath the skin. Sculptra® works differently — it triggers your body to build its own collagen, meaning results develop more gradually but last much longer.
How is Sculptra® different from dermal fillers?
Sculptra® is commonly used to treat:
• Hollow cheeks and temples
• Jawline definition
• Smile lines and folds
• Décolletage and chest area
• Neck (to improve crepey skin, fine lines, and loss of firmness)
What areas can Sculptra® treat?
For best results, most clients require a course of 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on your individual needs and desired outcome.
How many sessions will I need?
Once the course is complete, results can last up to 2 years, as the newly stimulated collagen continues to support the skin. Maintenance treatments may then be recommended.
How long do results last?
Results develop gradually as your skin produces new collagen. Many clients notice improvements in skin texture and firmness after a few weeks, with full results building over several months.
When will I see results?
Yes. Sculptra® is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medical treatments for decades. As with all injectables, it should only be performed by a qualified medical professional.
Is Sculptra® safe?
Most clients return to normal activities immediately. Mild swelling, redness, or small bruises may occur at the injection sites, but these usually settle within a few days.
Is there any downtime?
Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites is normal and should settle within a few days.
Small bruises or lumps may appear but will resolve as the product integrates.
Apply a cool compress if needed to reduce swelling (do not apply ice directly to the skin).
Immediately after treatment:
To ensure even distribution of the product, gently massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days after your treatment.
Use clean hands and a light moisturiser if needed to help glide over the skin.
Massage is essential:
Aftercare Guidance
To ensure the best results and support your skin’s natural collagen production, please follow the guidance below after your Sculptra® treatment:
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive caffeine.
Do not apply makeup for at least 12 hours to reduce the risk of infection.
For the first 24 hours:
Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, and sunbeds.
Do not schedule facials, chemical peels, or skin treatments in the treated areas.
Sleep on your back where possible to minimise pressure on the face.
For the first 48 hours:
Results are gradual and will continue to improve over several months as new collagen is formed.
A course of treatments may be recommended for the best outcome.
If you experience prolonged pain, blanching of the skin, or any symptoms that concern you, contact the clinic immediately.
General Guidance
Protect your skin from direct sun exposure and always wear high SPF.
Postpone dental or cosmetic procedures until healing is complete.
