YOUTHFUL REJUVENATION FROM WITHIN
Why should I choose Sculptra® Collagen Stimulation?
Sculptra® is chosen by patients who prefer subtle, progressive results rather than an immediate visual change. Because it stimulates your own natural collagen growth, it restores volume and lifts sagging contours steadily, ensuring your results look completely natural and last significantly longer than standard hyaluronic acid gels.
How does the treatment work?
Sculptra® uses micro-particles of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic material that safely breaks down in the body. When placed deep into the skin, the micro-particles activate fibroblast cells to produce fresh collagen networks. As the PLLA naturally dissolves, a strong, newly formed collagen structure remains in its place.
Where on my face can be treated?
Temples & Mid-Face: Restoring volume to hollowed temples and sunken cheek areas.
Jawline & Cheeks: Re-contouring sagging jawlines, softening pre-jowl hollows, and tightening loose cheek skin.
Nasolabial & Marionette Folds: Softening deep nose-to-mouth creases and marionette lines around the mouth.
Lower Face: Improving overall structural firmness and skin thickness across the lower third of the face.

Preparation, Guidelines & Side Effects
Be sure to prepare for your treatment by following any and all advice given by your practitioner
01
Facial Consultation
Your clinician assesses your facial symmetry, bone density, and volume loss to map out a custom biostimulation plan.
02
Localised Numbing
A small dab of local anaesthetic is applied at the entry points to make the treatment smooth, comfortable, and virtually pain-free.
03
Precise Cannula Delivery
Using a smooth, blunt-tipped micro-cannula, Sculptra® is gently guided into the deep dermal and subcutaneous layers to distribute the biostimulator evenly.

The 5-5-5 Rule & Aftercare
We cleanse the area and teach you the essential "5-5-5" post-treatment massage technique to ensure smooth, even collagen formation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Will I see an immediate result after my session?
A: You will notice temporary fullness for 24 to 48 hours due to the sterile water carrier solution. Once this fluid absorbs, your natural collagen growth kicks in, with true, long-lasting volume building progressively over 4 to 12 weeks.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Most patients benefit from a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. As a general clinical guide, one vial is typically used per decade of life, spread across your course.
Q: How long do Sculptra® results last?
A: Because Sculptra® builds your own natural structural collagen, results endure for up to 2 years or longer, far outlasting conventional hyaluronic acid fillers.
