Sculptra®
Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulatory treatment designed to restore facial volume and improve skin quality by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Instead of providing immediate filling effects, Sculptra® works gradually, supporting the skin’s structure from within and leading to subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation over time.
The treatment is based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that triggers collagen synthesis after injection. As new collagen forms, skin firmness, elasticity, and overall facial support improve progressively. This makes Sculptra® particularly suitable for patients seeking long-term anti-aging results rather than instant volumization.

Sculptra® vs. Hyaluronic Acid
Sculptra®
- Stimulates the body’s own collagen production
- Gradual, long-term results
- Improves skin structure and firmness
- Ideal for diffuse volume loss
Hyaluronic Acid
- Provides immediate volume and contouring
- Shorter duration of effect
- Ideal for precise shaping and localized corrections
Both treatments serve different purposes and can be combined when clinically appropriate.
Combination Treatments
Sculptra® can be safely combined with:
- Botulinum toxin for dynamic wrinkle reduction
- Hyaluronic acid for targeted contouring
- Skin rejuvenation treatments to further improve skin quality
This combined approach allows for balanced, individualized, and long-term aesthetic results.
