What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a bio-stimulating, collagen-replenishing injectable that works differently from traditional dermal fillers. Rather than adding volume directly, Sculptra stimulates your body to produce natural collagen, restoring volume and improving skin quality gradually over time.
Scientific studies show that 80% of patients rated their results as “good to excellent” at 25 months following treatment. Results can last up to 3 or 4 years.
Key Benefits of Sculptra
– Gradual, natural-looking results
– Long-lasting effects (up to 4 years)
– Stimulates collagen production
– Minimal downtime
– You’ll never look “overfilled” or artificial
What Can Sculptra Treat?
Sculptra is effective for a range of common age-related concerns, including:
– Lines, wrinkles and folds
– Nasolabial folds (lines between the nose and mouth)
– Drooping mouth corners
– Hollow or sunken cheeks
– Recessed or hollow temples
– Jowl sagging and laxity
– Thinning skin
– Ageing hands
– Décolletage
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra™ is long-lasting, biocompatible, and biodegradable. Originally used in the NHS to treat lipoatrophy in HIV patients and those with facial deformities, it is now a popular treatment for natural facial rejuvenation.
Its main ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), has been used safely in surgical procedures for over 25 years — including in dissolvable stitches and implants.
Is Sculptra Right for Me?
In your late 20s: Collagen production starts to decline. If you’re beginning to notice volume loss, this is an ideal time to stimulate your collagen reserves — often with just one or two treatments.
In your 30s or 40s: Perfect for addressing laxity in the lower face, jowls, and downturned corners of the mouth.
In your 50s and beyond: Skin laxity and volume loss become more pronounced. A combination of Sculptra and HIFUcan deliver a powerful, non-surgical facelift effect — ideal for those wanting significant results without invasive procedures or downtime.
Before Your Treatment
During your consultation, Dr Sonia will assess your facial structure, volume loss, and skin condition. She’ll also discuss lifestyle factors like smoking and skincare, which can impact your treatment response. You’re welcome to bring photos of yourself from 10–15 years ago to guide treatment planning. The goal is always to enhance your natural features, not change them.
During and After Treatment
– A topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort
– Up to 20ml of Sculptra solution is injected into the treatment areas
– Dr Sonia will demonstrate how to massage the treated areas post-procedure
You’ll need to massage for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to help distribute the product evenly and stimulate collagen production.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients require a course of treatments:
Typically, three sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, depending on your needs.
Your personalised treatment plan will be discussed in full during your consultation with Dr Sonia.
What My Clients Say About Me
Rating
This was my first time I’ve ever had any aesthetic treatment and I’m so glad that I’ve come to Dr Sonia in Walton, it was an exceptional experience! She explained everything so clearly and tailored the treatments to what would give me the most natural results. She reassured me with her medical knowledge at what treatments I thought I needed, but didn’t and what treatments she recommended to get the outcome I wanted. Dr Sonia made me feel completely at ease, and instilled the utmost confidence. I have had Botox, skin peels and skin boosters. The results are spectacular and I could not be happier!
