SCULPTRA
Rejuvenate from Within
WHAT IS SCULPTRA?
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually by encouraging your body to produce its own collagen.
As collagen levels improve, the skin can become firmer, smoother and more supported, helping restore a naturally refreshed appearance.

Sculptra works gradually rather than providing an immediate lifting or volumising effect. Collagen production develops over several weeks and months, with improvements becoming progressively visible.
A course of treatments may be recommended depending on your starting point and desired outcome.
SCULPTRA VS TRADITIONAL DERMAL FILLERS
Although both treatments help address signs of facial ageing, they work in different ways.
Traditional dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid and work by adding immediate volume beneath the skin. They are commonly used to enhance facial features, restore lost volume, define contours and soften lines. Results are generally visible straight after treatment.
Sculptra works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production. Rather than simply adding volume, it gradually improves the skin's underlying structure, helping restore firmness, elasticity and lost facial volume over time.
While dermal fillers provide immediate results, Sculptra offers a gradual approach to facial rejuvenation, with improvements developing over several weeks and months.
Both treatments have their own benefits and, in some cases, can be combined to achieve a more comprehensive and natural-looking rejuvenation result. Your doctor will recommend the most suitable approach following an individual assessment.
