Rebuild what time takes away — with your own collagen.
Gradual, natural volume that lasts.
Sculptra works quietly beneath the surface, prompting your skin to make fresh collagen so volume returns gradually and naturally. Rather than filling a line today, it rebuilds the foundation that keeps your face looking firm and rested for months to come.

How it works
The science, in plain language.
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material the body safely breaks down over time. Once injected, it gently stimulates your skin’s fibroblasts to produce new collagen, which is what rebuilds volume and firmness. The product itself absorbs, while the collagen it generates is what you see and keep — which is why results appear gradually and look natural.

Questions, answered
Sculptra FAQs.
Is Sculptra safe?
Yes — poly-L-lactic acid has a long track record and is gradually and safely broken down by the body. As with any injectable, it should only be carried out by a qualified medical practitioner after a proper consultation.
Does Sculptra hurt?
Most people find it very manageable. The area can be numbed beforehand, and you may feel pressure or a brief sting rather than real pain. Mild soreness afterwards is normal.
How long does Sculptra last?
Results commonly last up to around two years, making it one of the longer-lasting injectable options.
How is Sculptra different from dermal filler?
Filler adds volume instantly; Sculptra instead prompts your own body to build collagen, so results appear slowly and tend to last longer and look more natural.
When will I see results?
Not straight away. Because it relies on new collagen forming, most people notice changes from about 6–12 weeks, building with each session.
Will I look natural?
Yes — the gradual nature of Sculptra is exactly why results look subtle. You should look refreshed and rested rather than obviously ‘done’.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need a short course of two to three sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, tailored to your goals at consultation.
Can Sculptra be dissolved if I change my mind?
No — unlike hyaluronic acid filler, Sculptra cannot be dissolved, which is why an experienced injector and careful planning matter.
