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.
