Sculptra®
"Restore Natural-Looking Volume Through Collagen Stimulation"
Sculptra® is a PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid) collagen stimulator designed to support the skin’s natural collagen production, helping gradually improve facial volume loss, skin firmness, and overall contours for natural-looking rejuvenation.
What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an injectable collagen stimulator formulated with PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid). Rather than simply providing immediate volume, it works by stimulating the skin’s natural collagen production, helping gradually restore volume and improve skin firmness.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
After injection, PLLA particles stimulate collagen production within the treated tissue. As collagen gradually rebuilds, the skin’s structural support improves over time, helping create natural-looking volume and smoother contours.
Gradual and Natural-Looking Improvement
Unlike treatments designed primarily to create immediate volume, Sculptra® works gradually as collagen production increases. Changes typically develop progressively over the weeks and months following treatment, allowing for a more natural-looking improvement.
Personalized Treatment for the Face and Body
The number of vials, injection areas, and treatment sessions are determined according to the degree of volume loss, skin condition, treatment area, and individual goals. Sculptra® may also be used for selected body areas when appropriate.

How many Sculptra® sessions are recommended?
The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment area, degree of volume loss, skin condition, and desired results. A series of approximately two to three sessions may be recommended after consultation.
Can Sculptra® be used on the body?
Yes. Depending on the treatment area and individual condition, Sculptra® may be used as part of a personalized body treatment plan to support collagen production and improve skin quality and contours.
