About this treatment
Sculptra is an advanced injectable collagen biostimulator designed to improve skin quality by activating your body’s own natural collagen production. Rather than providing instant volume or surface hydration, Sculptra works within the deeper layers of the skin to address collagen loss at its source.
The active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that has been used safely in medical applications for decades, including in dissolvable sutures. When injected into the deeper dermal layers, PLLA stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen gradually, helping to restore the skin’s underlying structure over time.
Collagen is a key structural protein that supports skin firmness, elasticity, and structure. As we age, natural collagen production declines, leading to skin thinning, laxity, wrinkles, and folds. By encouraging controlled collagen regeneration, Sculptra helps rebuild skin strength from within, resulting in progressive, natural-looking improvement rather than sudden or artificial change.
Benefits of Sculptra
- Improves skin thickness
- Restores firmness and elasticity
- Provides a subtle, natural lift
- Enhances long-term skin quality
- Results build gradually and beautifully
Your future skin will thank you.
Results develop gradually over several weeks to months as new collagen forms, allowing changes to appear smooth, balanced, and in harmony with your natural facial features. With a tailored course of treatment, results can last up to two years or more, making Sculptra a long-term solution for structural skin rejuvenation.
Further information
Sculptra is recognised as the original collagen stimulator, designed to gradually renew skin quality in a long-lasting way. It works by stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes, rather than masking signs of ageing.
Treatment Areas
Sculptra is commonly used to improve volume loss, firmness and skin laxity in areas such as:
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Marionette lines
- Chin wrinkles
- Areas of facial sagging or reduced support
By gradually replacing lost collagen, Sculptra helps reinvigorate the skin and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Your Sculptra Treatment
Sculptra is injected into the deeper layers of the skin to activate collagen production. A course of treatment is usually recommended, typically involving around three sessions spaced several weeks apart, although this may vary depending on individual needs.
Immediately after treatment, temporary swelling may occur, temporarily softening wrinkles or folds. This settles, and the longer-term process of collagen regeneration then begins. Improvements develop subtly over time, enhancing firmness, fullness and skin quality in a natural and progressive way.
