Sculptra
Sculptra is a dermal filler known for its ability to improve skin tightening and overall skin quality through its unique formulation. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production for gradual and long-lasting results.
Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate natural collagen production, leading to gradual and long-lasting skin tightening and volumization. The treatment is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe skin laxity, volume loss, and fine lines, offering results that can last up to 2 years. Typically requiring 3 to 4 sessions initially, with annual maintenance as needed, Sculptra provides a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution for improving skin firmness, texture, and overall appearance.

How does it work?
How Sculptra Helps in Skin Tightening
Collagen Stimulation
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic material that stimulates collagen production. When injected into the skin, PLLA acts as a scaffold that encourages the body to produce new collagen. As collagen forms, it improves skin structure, firmness, and elasticity, leading to a natural tightening effect over time.
Gradual Volume Restoration
Over time, the collagen produced in response to PLLA injections helps restore lost volume and smooth out skin imperfections. The gradual increase in skin volume and density helps reduce the appearance of sagging and wrinkles, contributing to an overall tightening effect.
Long-Term Results
The results from Sculptra build progressively, with optimal results appearing several months after treatment as collagen levels increase. Sculptra provides a long-lasting improvement in skin firmness and texture, with results typically lasting up to 2 years.
Ideal for those experiencing moderate to severe skin sagging and volume loss, seeking a gradual and non-surgical tightening solution. Sculptra is perfect for those who want long-lasting improvements in skin firmness and quality without frequent treatments.
Treatment Intervals for Sculptra
Initial Treatment Course
Typically involves 3 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This schedule allows for optimal collagen stimulation and gradual improvement.
Maintenance Treatments
To maintain results, annual touch-ups may be recommended. The frequency of maintenance will depend on individual skin condition and desired outcomes.
