What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable treatment made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used in medicine for decades. When injected into the deeper layers of the skin, it stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring volume and improving skin structure. The results appear slowly over two to three months as new collagen forms — and they last far longer than standard hyaluronic acid fillers.
Benefits of Sculptra
Sculptra is ideal for clients who want long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation rather than instant, obvious changes. Because the results build gradually over months, they look entirely natural — even to people who know you well.
Key benefits include:
- Long-lasting results of 2 years or more
- Stimulates your body's own natural collagen
- Gradually restores lost facial volume
- Natural-looking, progressive results
- Works across multiple areas of the face
Sculptra is particularly effective for restoring volume to the cheeks, temples, and jawline, and for improving overall facial structure that has changed with age. Results can last two years or more, making it a worthwhile long-term investment in your appearance.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra is typically administered in two to three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Each session takes around 30-60 minutes. The gradual approach is what makes Sculptra so effective — it gives the body time to produce natural collagen progressively.
Consultation and treatment mapping
We start with a detailed consultation to assess your facial structure, discuss your concerns, and map out the treatment areas. This planning stage is crucial to achieving natural, balanced results that complement your features.
Preparation and numbing
The treatment area is cleansed and a numbing cream or local anaesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Sculptra injection and massage
Sculptra is injected into the target areas using precise technique. The product is massaged into the tissue after injection to ensure even distribution and the most natural-looking result.
Aftercare massage protocol and follow-up
After each session, we guide you on the 5-5-5 massage protocol — a daily massage routine that helps distribute the product evenly and is key to achieving great results. Follow-up sessions are scheduled to build on your progress.
How Long Does Sculptra Last?
Sculptra results typically last two years or more, making it one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available. Because it works by stimulating your own collagen rather than using a temporary filler, the results are both durable and natural. A maintenance treatment every couple of years helps sustain your results.
Sculptra Aftercare
After Sculptra, some swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treated area is normal and settles within a few days. It is important to follow the 5-5-5 massage protocol — massaging the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five days after each session. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and direct sun exposure for 24-48 hours after treatment.

Sculptra FAQ's
What is Sculptra made from?
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material that has been used safely in medicine for decades. It is designed to stimulate your own collagen production rather than adding volume directly.
How is Sculptra different from standard dermal fillers?
Standard dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to add volume immediately to a specific area. Sculptra works differently — it stimulates your own collagen production over time, delivering gradual, natural-looking results that last significantly longer than standard fillers.
How many Sculptra sessions will I need?
Most clients require two to three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions and vials needed depends on the degree of volume loss and your goals. We will advise you on the recommended course during your consultation.
How long do Sculptra results last?
Sculptra results can last two years or more. Because it stimulates natural collagen production, the effects are durable and build gradually over time. Individual results vary, and a maintenance treatment every couple of years can help sustain your look.
When will I see results from Sculptra?
Sculptra works gradually. You may notice some initial swelling after your sessions, but the true results appear over two to three months as new collagen forms. Most clients see the full benefit at around six months after completing their course.
What is the 5-5-5 massage protocol?

Sculptra has an excellent, well-established safety profile and has been used globally for many years. As with all injectable treatments, it should only be administered by a trained and experienced practitioner. Side effects are generally mild and temporary.
