SCULPTRA
"SKIN THAT FEELS LIKE YOU AGAIN"
Not just another filler. Sculptra is a biostimulatory aesthetic injectable that helps stimulate your natural collagen production to improve skin firmness and smooth facial wrinkles, targeting the entire cheek region and along the jawline, revealing a more youthful you.
Often referred to as the long-lasting alternative to Profhilo, Sculptra bridges the gap between a collagen stimulator and filler. This remarkable treatment harnesses the power of Poly L Lactic Acid to rejuvenate your skin, bestowing a radiant, tightened, and sculpted look that defies time.
FACIAL AGEING HAS MET ITS MATCH
After age 20, you lose about 1% of collagen per year. Sculptra is the first and original FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) facial injectable that targets fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging due to collagen loss, gradually helping restore skin structure and volume.
WHAT IS COLLAGEN AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps maintain your skin’s shape and structure. The skin needs collagen to resist signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. By age 40, most of us have lost up to 20% of our natural collagen.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in your body, constitutes roughly 75% of your skin. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining skin firmness, tightness, and volume. Traditional fillers aim to mask volume loss using hyaluronic acid-based gels. Sculptra, however, redefines the realm of injectables by addressing the root cause of volume loss: collagen. By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra naturally rebuilds volume, leaving you with a fresh and genuine appearance, free from the artificial or “done” look.
Furthermore, Sculptra induces collagen production, enhancing skin firmness, diminishing wrinkles, and tightening the skin—effectively reversing the visible signs of ageing. The beauty of Sculptra lies in its longevity, with results proven to last up to two years or more on average. In fact, Poly-L-Lactic Acid, the core component of Sculptra, is utilised in the NHS to treat severe volume loss and loose skin quality in metabolic clinics, underlining its efficacy and clinical credibility.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
On average, you will have 2 to 4 treatment sessions over the course of a few months. Depending on how many vials your practitioner feels you need a treatment plan will be set out during your consultation. Usually 1 treatment, followed by another 1 week later. If more are needed, this would be repeated around 4-8 weeks after. Then just maintenance doses every 2 years!
THE SCIENCE BEHIND SCULPTRA
Sculptra is an injectable collagen biostimulator, composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a fully absorbed polymer.
This remarkable substance works deep within the skin to enhance its inner structure over a series of treatments.
Among the various types of collagen, types 1 and 3 are most prevalent in the skin. Collagen type 1 serves as the primary structural component of the skin, while collagen type 3 plays a crucial role in healing and repair processes.
The natural ageing process causes an approximate annual loss of 1% of collagen. By the age of 35, we experience a 15% reduction, and by age 55, a 35% decrease in collagen levels. Sculptra’s PLLA microparticles work deep within the skin to stimulate the replacement of lost collagen. The result? Improved skin elasticity, quality, and radiance, even after 12 months of treatment.
With an impressive satisfaction rate of 80% after 2 years of treatment, backed by countless successful patient experiences over three decades, Sculptra is more than a treatment—it’s a clinically proven and trusted solution.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Most clinical study participants saw results as soon as 1 month, with sustained results for up to 2 years. Full results wont be seen until a month after your course of treatments.
