Sculptra Collagen Stimulation
Rather than filling a hollow, this prompts your own collagen to rebuild it, gradually, over several months.
Building Volume Instead of Adding It
Every other injectable on this menu adds something. Sculptra does the opposite, in a sense. It prompts your body to produce more of its own collagen in the treated area.
The product itself is gradually absorbed. What remains is the collagen your own body has laid down, which is why the result develops slowly and holds for a long time.
A Treatment That Asks for Patience
Nothing dramatic happens in the first month, and if that would frustrate you then this is the wrong treatment. Collagen is built over months rather than days.
Most patients are treated across a short series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, and describe the fuller change somewhere between three and six months in. It is worth saying plainly before you start.
Sculptra Next to Ordinary Filler
A hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm gives you volume immediately and can be dissolved if you dislike it. That is its advantage.
Sculptra gives you gradual, longer lasting change that comes from your own tissue, but it cannot be reversed the same way. Both belong within our range of injectable treatments and they suit different people.
What Sculptra Can Do
This is the slowest treatment on the menu and also one of the longest lasting, and those two facts are related.
What Sculptra Treatment Involves
Expectations are set carefully before anything begins.
We Check It Suits You

We Plan the Series
You will know roughly how many sessions and how far apart before starting.
The Treatment
The area is numbed and the product placed across it. Sessions take around thirty minutes.

Sculptra FAQ
Not quickly, and that is by design. Most patients describe a noticeable change somewhere between three and six months, because collagen takes that long to build.
Commonly up to two years, which is considerably longer than most fillers. That durability is the trade for the slower start.
No, and that is an important difference from hyaluronic acid fillers. It is one reason we are conservative with it and set expectations carefully first.
Usually a short series spaced several weeks apart. The number depends on the area and how much change you are looking for, and you will be given a realistic figure upfront.
Neither is better. Filler is immediate and reversible, Sculptra is gradual and long lasting. Which suits you depends on what you want and how patient you are.
