Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable poly-L-lactic acid treatment that stimulates collagen gradually. It can be used in appropriately selected patients to improve facial wrinkles and age-related structural changes over time. Rather than filling a fold in one session, it supports the skin’s own collagen response, so the change builds gently and the result is intended to look natural and gradual.
How it works
Poly-L-lactic acid is placed beneath the skin where it encourages the body’s own collagen production over a number of weeks. This means the improvement develops progressively, and the plan often involves a series of sessions rather than a single treatment.
What it can address
- Facial wrinkles
- Age-related structural changes
- Gradual volume loss
- Overall skin support
A consultation determines whether the treatment is appropriate and how the sessions should be spaced. The practitioner explains how the effect builds so expectations are set around a gradual, evolving result.
