Sculptra® Deep Fillers

Sculptra® is a longer lasting more gradual form of dermal filler that works by replenishing your own facial collagen which restores volume in the face that has been lost over time.

Collagen is the protein your body produces to give your skin a firm and youthful appearance, but from an early age (25 years) the amount you produce slows down and facial volume is lost.
Sculptra® can redress the balance by stimulating collagen production again.

This treatment can be used to gradually and subtly smooth out lines, wrinkles and folds, as well as tackling loss of facial volume which can happen with the natural ageing process or dramatic weight loss.

sculptraSculptra® can be used to treat:

  • Deeper wrinkles, lines or folds
  • Hollow areas e.g. gaunt cheeks, temples
  • Cheekbones – to add definition
  • Jowls – to lift up saggy jowls

Sculptra® Procedure

Poly-l-lactic acid, the main ingredient of Sculptra® has been used medically for over 25 years in the treatment and repair of facial scars and contour defects.

Sculptra® is injected with a blunt needle called a cannula to avoid bruising or damaging vessels.

To start, a course of treatments is required and the number of treatments required will depend on age and skin condition. Directly after treatment the fullness is visible due to initial swelling and water content of the product, therefore, you will see a reduction in a couple of days. Collagen stimulation is a slow and gradual process so the first real results can be noticed four to six weeks after the first treatment. Please note that in some patients a difference may not be noticeable for more than 6 weeks. Results of Sculptra® fillers are long-lasting but need maintenance.

Patients can normally return to work immediately after treatment.

Sculptra® may be combined with other treatments. The timing of any combination of treatments will be agreed upon during consultation.
