What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is a biocompatible, biodegradable injectable filler composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a substance that has been used in medical treatments for years. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra® works gradually to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin’s surface, leading to a more youthful, revitalised appearance.

Sculptra® stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, working deep within the skin to gradually restore lost volume, providing a subtle, natural-looking lift.

  • Sculptra® is commonly used to treat areas where volume loss and skin laxity occur with age, including:

    • Cheeks: Restore fullness and volume to hollow or sunken areas.

    • Temples: Smooth out sunken or hollow areas to rejuvenate the upper face.

    • Jawline: Improve definition and firmness along the jaw for a more sculpted look.

  • Sculptra® is suitable for individuals who are looking to restore lost facial volume and improve the overall texture of their skin. It is ideal for those experiencing:

    • Volume loss in the cheeks, temples, or under the eyes.

    • Sagging skin or deep wrinkles.

    • Those who are seeking a more youthful, refreshed appearance without the need for invasive surgery.

    • People who want a gradual, natural-looking result over time.

    Sculptra® is generally safe for all skin types and tones. However, it is best suited for individuals with moderate to advanced signs of aging who are looking for longer-lasting results and are willing to be patient with the gradual improvement that Sculptra offers.

  • Most patients require 2 to 3 treatment sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions will depend on the specific concerns being addressed and the amount of volume loss. Each session typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes and involves a series of injections in the targeted areas.

    Total number of vials required is generally equivalent to decades of life from 30 years of age, ie,

    • 40 year old 1-2 vials

    • 50 year old 2-3 vials

    • 60 year old 3-4 vials

    The effects of Sculptra® are gradual and build over time, with noticeable improvements beginning around 3 to 4 weeks after the first session. Optimal results are usually seen after 3 months, and the results can last up to 2 years, with maintenance sessions typically recommended every 12 to 18 months.

  • As with any injectable treatment, there can be some side effects, but they are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects may include:

    • Redness at the injection site

    • Swelling

    • Bruising

    • Tenderness or itching

    These side effects typically resolve within a few days to a week. In rare cases, lumps or bumps under the skin may form, but these can often be massaged out or treated with additional care.

    To minimize risks, it’s important to receive Sculptra® from an experienced, qualified provider who understands the anatomy of the face and knows how to use the product correctly.

    If you have any concerns or pre-existing conditions (such as allergies or skin infections), be sure to discuss these with your provider before starting treatment.

The benefits of Sculptra®

  • Natural, Gradual Results
    Sculptra® provides a subtle, natural-looking lift over time, avoiding the “overfilled” look that can sometimes result from traditional fillers.

  • Long-Lasting
    The collagen-boosting effects can last up to two years, meaning fewer touch-ups are required.

  • Restores Volume and Contour
    Ideal for addressing volume loss in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and other areas where sagging and hollowness are common.

  • Boosts Skin’s Firmness
    By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra enhances skin texture and tightness for a smoother, firmer appearance.

  • Minimal Downtime
    There is little to no downtime, and results improve with time, making it a low-maintenance option for those seeking long-lasting rejuvenation.
