Sculptra

SCULPTRA is a biostimulator made of Poly-L-lactic acid, abbreviated as PLLA. It is injected into the deep layers of the skin, stimulating the body’s own collagen production. This modern dermal filler is injected into the affected areas with a prefilled syringe. There, it triggers an inflammatory reaction, which in turn stimulates collagen production, tightening the connective tissue. This gives your skin new elasticity, making wrinkles noticeably smoother.

Which wrinkles are treated?

SCULPTRA possesses special properties and is therefore recommended for the treatment of deep wrinkles and skin tightening. It is primarily used for wrinkle filling in the area of the chin, nasolabial folds, as well as sunken temples or sagging cheeks and marionette lines. Furthermore, contouring of the jawline is also possible.

However, for expression lines such as forehead wrinkles or crow’s feet, a pure SCULPTRA treatment is not recommended, which also applies to lip augmentation.

SCULPTRA is not only injected into the face. Other areas of the body can also be treated with this substance. These include, in particular, the décolleté as well as concealing the so-called hip dips. Many women also use SCULPTRA for buttock tightening or enlargement without surgical intervention. The result itself lasts up to three years.

Cellulite or scars can also be treated with SCULPTRA, as results can already be significantly noticeable after the first treatment.

The procedure of SCULPTRA treatment

The duration of the treatment always depends on the size of the area to be treated. The treatment duration is usually between 30 and 60 minutes.

The area where SCULPTRA is applied is always thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in advance to minimize the risk of infection. If desired, a local anesthetic can be used before the treatment, making the injections completely painless. The solution is then injected under the topmost layer of the skin using a very fine and thin cannula.

Sculptra is a next-generation collagen biostimulator designed to rebuild the skin from within. Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), it works deep in the dermis to restore facial volume, improve skin structure, and reduce visible signs of aging. By primarily stimulating the production of type I collagen, Sculptra targets the root cause of facial aging, leading to gradual, natural rejuvenation.
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra’s effects develop over time, with results that can last up to two years. It is particularly effective for addressing volume loss, deep creases, scars, and skin depressions. Depending on the patient’s needs, Sculptra can create a lifting effect for sagging skin or provide a subtle slimming lift in fuller areas. Additionally, Sculptra helps restore a youthful glow by renewing lost volume and improving skin firmness and elasticity.
Sculptra is supplied as a sterile powder, reconstituted with sterile water, and injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer. Treatment typically involves 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with results that evolve naturally and last long-term.
