Injectable Collagen Stimulator

Sculptra

Sculptra, a unique and innovative aesthetic treatment, has gained popularity for its ability to restore facial volume and improve skin laxity, providing a natural and subtle enhancement. This non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation makes Sculptra a versatile option for individuals seeking to achieve a refreshed and youthful look without the need for more invasive procedures.

How It Works

At our spa, a customized treatment plan is developed based on the specific areas of concern. Sculptra is commonly used to address volume loss in the mid-face, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. Sculptra is administered through a series of injections using a fine needle. The poly-L-lactic acid in Sculptra acts as a collagen stimulator, triggering the body’s natural production of collagen. The injections are strategically placed to achieve the desired enhancement and volumizing effect. Following the injections, Sculptra starts working beneath the skin’s surface. The poly-L-lactic acid microparticles act as a scaffold, prompting the body to produce collagen over time. This process is gradual, and patients typically notice a subtle improvement in skin texture and volume over a few weeks.

Common Questions

Have a question? Here you’ll find detailed and friendly answers to all the questions that our customers commonly ask us.

  • The rejuvenating effects of Sculptra can last up to two years, making it a long-lasting solution for facial volume restoration. Regular maintenance sessions can be scheduled as needed to sustain the results.

  • While Sculptra is generally well-tolerated, patients may experience some common side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own.

  • NOTE: Some immediate results may be visible after the first session, but it’s important to note, the full effects become more apparent as collagen continues to develop.
