Sculptra

Sculptra is injectable poly-L-lactic acid — a collagen stimulator rather than a filler. Rather than adding instant volume, it prompts your fibroblasts to lay down new collagen over three to six months, gradually rebuilding facial fullness and skin thickness. Because the change is slow, the result reads as looking well rather than treated.

• Rebuilds your own collagen for genuinely natural volume
• Gradual change nobody can pinpoint
• Improves overall skin quality, thickness and glow
• Excellent for temples, cheeks, and hollowing from weight loss or GLP-1 use
• Results can last two years or more

1. 01

   A series of two to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart

2. 02

   Product reconstituted well in advance to reduce nodule risk

3. 03

   Injection in deep planes with cannula or needle, then thorough massage

4. 04

   Temporary swelling on day one that subsides — the volume then returns slowly

5. 05

   Photographic review at each session to track the build

Adults with generalised facial volume loss, temple or cheek hollowing, or post-weight-loss deflation who are happy to invest in a gradual result. Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infection, or a history of keloid scarring.

• Massage the treated area 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days
• Avoid strenuous exercise and heat for 24 hours
• Stay well hydrated to support collagen synthesis
• Be patient — judge results at 8–12 weeks, not day one

• Why does the volume disappear after a week?

  The immediate fullness is the water the product is mixed in. It absorbs, and the real, collagen-based result then builds over months.

• What about nodules?
• Is it good after weight loss?
