Sculptra® – Collagen-stimulating biostimulator for long-term structural results
Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulator and dermal filler based on poly‑L‑mjölksyra (PLLA). Instead of immediately filling up with gels like hyaluronic acid does, Sculptra works slowly by stimulating the body's own collagen production. The result is a gradually improved skin structure, volume and firmness - with a natural and long-lasting appearance.
Benefits of Sculptra®
Stimulates the skin's own collagen and elastin production for improved structure and firmness
Provides gradual volume build-up – ideal for aging, fat loss (e.g. lipoatrophy) or when structural support is needed
Long durability – results can last up to two years depending on how much product is used, treatment area and individual response
CE-marked and approved for aesthetic use - used by authorized therapists
Gives natural results - no dramatic "filling" without soft volume development over time
Areas of use
Sculptra® is used for:
Volume restoration in the cheeks, temples and lower face contours
Correction of skin folds, wrinkles and depressions in the skin
Treatment of volume loss after fat reduction or due to natural aging
Förbättring av skin quality and counteraction of laxity
Complement in aesthetic treatments where you want more than just an external improvement
Treatment & structure
The product is supplied as a powder and must be reconstituted (mixed with liquid, sometimes with local anaesthetic) before injection
Injected deep into the dermis or subcutaneously, depending on the area and desired effect
The treatment plan usually includes several sessions at intervals of weeks to months to build up volume and stimulate collagen over time
After each treatment, it is recommended to massage the area according to the instructions (often “5‑5‑5” massage: 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days) to ensure even distribution
Effect & durability
Visible improvements can begin to be noticed after a few weeks, but most of the result develops successively over 2-3 months and sometimes longer
The effect can last up to approximately 24 months, depending on the patient's skin, treatment area and how well maintained it is
Maintenance treatments may be required when the effect begins to wane
Side effects and safety
Temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising and slight soreness can occur after injection
Important to avoid overcorrection – since the effect develops over time, treaters should be careful with the amount at first treatment
Massage the treated area after treatment according to the instructions - to avoid lumps or unevenness
Not suitable for patients with a tendency to keloid, allergies to components or certain skin conditions
Sculptra® is the perfect choice for those who want more than quick filler effects – a treatment that works in depth, improves the skin's structure and promotes lasting volume and skin health.
