Collagen stimulation for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation
Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike traditional dermal fillers that simply replace lost volume, Sculptra® works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, gradually restoring structure, firmness, and fullness to the face over time.
How it works
- The science: Sculptra® is composed of PLLA microparticles suspended in sterile water.
- The process: Once injected, these particles act as a scaffold that stimulates fibroblasts to gradually produce new collagen.
- The outcome: Over weeks to months, this new collagen replaces the carrier fluid (which is absorbed), creating subtle, progressive thickening of the skin and restoring lost volume.
Treatment areas we commonly address
- Mid-face volume loss (cheeks, temples)
- Jawline contour and definition
- Chin support
- General skin laxity and thinning
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How soon will I see results?
You may see temporary swelling right after treatment (from the water), which subsides within days. True results appear gradually over weeks to months as new collagen forms.
How long does it last?
Results typically last up to 24 months, sometimes longer after a full course. Maintenance can extend benefits.
How many treatments do I need?
Most patients need 2–3 sessions for optimal effect, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Your plan will be personalised.
Is it a filler?
Not exactly. Sculptra® is a collagen stimulator, not a traditional filler. It works with your body to restore structure, rather than simply placing volume.
