Why Choose Sculptra?
Ageing can bring fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging that change your face shape. Sculptra activates your body's natural collagen production to restore a youthful look. This advanced treatment can smooth facial wrinkles, firm the cheek region, and enhance your jawline contour, helping you feel vibrant at any age. Ready to explore Sculptra's potential?

What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable collagen stimulator made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material. It encourages your body to rebuild collagen, supporting your skin's inner structure for a smoother appearance. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which add volume, Sculptra focuses on long-term rejuvenation, with results that can last up to 2 years after completing a comprehensive treatment plan.
Why Patients Choose Sculptra
- Enhances Facial Structure: Sculptra is used in the cheek region, as well as the nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, chin, and jawline. It can improve the skin's glow, tightness, and contour.
- Stimulates Collagen Naturally: The PLLA-SCA microparticles form a framework that supports collagen production, addressing shallow to deep wrinkles for a refined appearance.
- Long-Lasting Results: With a series of treatments, Sculptra's effects can sustain a youthful appearance for up to 2 years, offering a lasting solution for facial rejuvenation.
How Does It Work?
- Injects PLLA-SCA: One of our medical professionals injects Sculptra into the deep layers of your skin, targeting areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds, chin, or jawline.
- Builds Collagen Over Time: The PLLA-SCA microparticles encourage your body to produce collagen, gradually improving skin structure and smoothness.
- Improves Gradually: Results develop over weeks to months as collagen rebuilds, providing a natural, refreshed appearance without overcorrection.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your session begins with a consultation to map out your treatment areas. We cleanse the skin, apply a topical anaesthetic if needed, and inject Sculptra in a grid pattern for even distribution. The process takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Most patients feel minimal discomfort.

Is Sculptra Safe? What Are the Side Effects?
Sculptra is FDA-approved and has been used globally since 1999. Made of poly-L-lactic acid, a material used in dissolvable stitches, it's absorbed naturally by the body and requires no allergy testing. Possible side effects include injection site pain, redness, bruising, tenderness, itching, lumps, bleeding, or swelling. Small bumps under the skin may be felt when pressing on the area, and larger lumps, with or without inflammation, can occur but typically resolve within days to weeks. Contact us if you experience persistent side effects.
How Much Does Sculptra Cost?
Costs vary based on the number of sessions and vials used. This will be determined during consultation with your injector.
