Sculptra
Sculptra is the only FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) facial injectable treatment that helps stimulate the skinās natural collagen production. It works gradually to restore the skinās inner structure, resulting in a more youthful-looking appearance. Sculptra helps correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, including:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Pre-auricular wrinkles (vertical wrinkles in front of the ears)
- Radial cheek folds (vertical wrinkles below the cheeks)
- Chin wrinkle
Results show before and after 6 months treatment using Ā Sculptra 5-ml reconstitution injected in the nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles. Individual results may vary.
Before, and 6 months after a course of Sculptra.
Unlike most dermal fillers, which use hyaluronic acid to replace lost volume, Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Once administered, PLLA stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen, creating a natural-looking effect with the added benefit of long-lasting results.
As we age, collagen ā the skinās support structure ā diminishes. Collagen makes up 70% of our skin and plays a key role in maintaining elasticity and moisture. Collagen loss leads to sagging and a loss of skin volume. Sculptra addresses the underlying cause of facial aging: collagen loss. By doing so, it subtly and gradually adds volume, lifting soft tissues and plumping the skin from within.

What to Expect:
During the procedure.
Your treatment will begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove any makeup. The procedure involves the use of a fine cannula to minimise discomfort.
Immediately after the procedure
Mild to moderate inflammation is normal post-treatment. Some of this initial volume is due to Sculptra itself, while additional swelling may occur as part of the skinās natural inflammatory and healing response. Following the aftercare instructions with regular massage will encourage the Sculptra to integrate with the surrounding tissue and soothe any residual aching.
