Sculptra – Biostimulator

Sculptra is an innovative injectable treatment made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra stimulates natural collagen production to regenerate the skin from within and reveal progressive, subtle, and long-lasting rejuvenation.

A natural collagen stimulator

By gradually reactivating collagen, Sculptra restores firmness, elasticity, and density to the skin. It helps restore age-related volume loss, corrects mild to moderate skin laxity, and improves facial harmony. Mainly used on the cheeks, temples, jawline, and nasolabial folds, this treatment can also target the neck, décolleté, and hands. Its unique action also helps slow the appearance of visible signs of aging.

The targeted benefits of Sculptra: This treatment is particularly recommended to soften deep wrinkles and pronounced folds, correct skin laxity, and improve the appearance of skin that has become thinner or weakened over time. By stimulating natural regeneration, it also enhances the texture, thickness, and overall quality of the skin.

Progressive and natural results: Sculptra works deep within the skin and produces gradual effects. The first changes appear after a few weeks and continue to improve over the course of the sessions. The result is subtle, harmonious, and natural-looking rejuvenation, with benefits that can last up to 24 months or more, depending on age, skin quality, and lifestyle.

Good to know

What is the difference between Sculptra and a traditional dermal filler?

The main difference between Sculptra and hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers lies in their mechanism of action and the longevity of their results. Dermal fillers provide immediate volume by directly filling wrinkles and hollow areas, but typically require regular touch-ups every 12 to 18 months. Sculptra, on the other hand, stimulates natural collagen production, resulting in a gradual improvement in skin firmness and elasticity. Results appear progressively over several weeks and can last up to two years, sometimes longer.

Information

How does a Sculptra session work?

Sculptra treatment always begins with a personalized consultation to assess the skin and establish a plan tailored to the patient’s needs. On the day of the session, photographs are taken in the clinic to document progress. The treatment area is carefully cleansed and, if necessary, a numbing cream is applied to ensure optimal comfort.

The product is then injected into the deep dermis using fine needles or cannulas, depending on the targeted areas. The skin is massaged afterward to evenly distribute the biostimulator and optimize its effect. Each session lasts on average 30 to 45 minutes.

The treatment is generally well tolerated and allows for a quick return to daily activities. After the session, it is essential to follow the post-treatment recommendations provided at the clinic.

FAQ

How many sessions are needed with Sculptra?

The number of sessions depends on your skin’s initial condition and the desired results. On average, two to three sessions are recommended, spaced a few months apart, to effectively stimulate collagen production. To maintain results over time, a maintenance treatment is suggested approximately every two years.
When will I see the first results?

The first improvements usually appear after four to six weeks, once collagen production has been reactivated. Results then continue to develop gradually, reaching their full effect after a few months, for a natural and harmonious rejuvenation.
