Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator used to support progressive facial rejuvenation. Rather than creating an immediate “filled” look, it is designed to encourage your skin to rebuild collagen gradually, which can restore structure and improve skin quality over time.
What this means in practice:
Your plan depends on facial anatomy, degree of volume loss, and skin quality.
30–45 minutes
Typical, varies by areas treated
Minimal to none
Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Some individuals may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or small marks at injection sites, which typically settle quickly.
Commonly 2–3 sessions
Treatments are usually spaced several weeks apart (your plan may differ).
Develop gradually
Results develop gradually as collagen forms.
Changes are typically seen over weeks/months.
Topical anaesthetic
Topical anaesthetic may be used where appropriate.
Comfort is discussed in consultation.
Best for patients with volume loss and reduced facial support who want subtle, progressive improvement rather than immediate “filled” change.
Sculptra is approached as a medical intervention — planned using facial anatomy, skin biology, and conservative structural planning.
We enhance, we don’t overcorrect. Sculptra is chosen when the goal is long-term support, not a trend-driven look.
Step 1: Medical Consultation
Medical history, facial assessment, and discussion of goals.
Step 2: Personalised Plan
Treatment areas, staging, and an appropriate course plan (including review points).
Step 3: Treatment Appointment
A precise, doctor-performed procedure in a clinical setting.
Step 4: Review & Follow-Up
We assess outcomes over time and refine only if clinically appropriate.
Anti-wrinkle treatment uses prescription-only medicine and requires a suitability assessment. We follow a medical-first approach and will advise against treatment where it isn’t appropriate.
Results can be long-lasting for suitable patients, and are often discussed in terms of up to around two years, depending on individual factors and treatment plan.
Sculptra works gradually — improvement appears over weeks to months as collagen develops.
This varies. We assess facial structure, degree of volume loss, and desired subtlety, then recommend an appropriate plan during consultation. (This is one of the most important determinants of overall cost.)
They do different jobs. Hyaluronic acid fillers can provide more immediate shaping, while Sculptra is typically chosen for progressive collagen support. A doctor can advise what’s best for your anatomy and goals.
Downtime is usually minimal, with possible short-lived redness/swelling or small marks at injection sites. Aftercare instructions are provided.
Yes — consultation is the first step, and we’ll confirm suitability and the safest plan for your face.
Start with a medical consultation so we can assess suitability, understand your goals, and create a natural, personalised plan.
