A collagen biostimulator rather than a filler. It prompts your own collagen to rebuild over months, so nothing looks different overnight.
Sculptra is not filler. It is poly-L-lactic acid, and it does not add volume when injected — it prompts your body to lay down its own collagen where it has been lost.
That means nothing changes the day you leave. Volume builds over three to six months, which is exactly why it looks natural: nobody sees a before and after, they see you gradually looking less depleted.
It suits people who want the result without the event. It does not suit anyone who needs to look different for something next month.
You lose roughly one percent of dermal collagen a year from your mid-twenties. The face thins from the inside.
Poly-L-lactic acid is placed deep, where it acts as a scaffold and signals fibroblasts to produce new collagen.
New collagen builds across three to six months. The result is yours, not a gel.
Step 01
Free. We assess whether biostimulation or filler suits your goal and timeline.
Step 02
Product is reconstituted in advance and injected across the treatment area.
Step 03
You massage the area five times a day for five days. This part is not optional.
Step 04
Volume develops over three to six months. Most people need two to three sessions.
Filler adds gel and works immediately. Sculptra adds nothing — it makes your body build collagen, which takes months. Different tools, different timelines, sometimes used together.
Realistically, six to eight weeks for the first hint and three to six months for the full result. If you need to look different sooner, filler is the honest answer.
To distribute the product evenly and reduce the risk of small nodules forming. Five times a day for five days. Patients who skip it are the ones who get lumps.
Two years or more, which is longer than most hyaluronic acid fillers. You are maintaining collagen rather than replacing gel.
No — unlike hyaluronic acid filler, there is no dissolving agent. This is why we are conservative and stage treatment across sessions.
One patient at a time, by appointment. No packages, no pressure, and an honest answer even when it isn’t the one that books.
