Consultation and assessment of areas of volume loss
Sculptra
A collagen stimulator that restores lost volume gradually rather than filling it instantly — a result built over months.
60 min
This procedure requires an assessment consultation first so we can plan it around your case.
Sculptra
Sculptra is not a filler in the conventional sense. Its active ingredient stimulates your body to produce its own collagen rather than filling a space directly. That is why the result does not appear the next day but is built gradually over weeks and months.
Why some people choose it
Because the result looks very natural — no one notices a sudden change, only a gradual improvement in facial fullness. Its effect also tends to last longer than hyaluronic acid filler in suitable cases.
Target areas
It is used where volume has been lost diffusely rather than in a defined hollow: temples, cheeks, the midface and sometimes areas of the body. It is not the right choice for lips.
What to expect
Typically a series of sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with the result emerging gradually between sessions and for months after the last. Regular massage of the area afterwards, as instructed, is an important part of an even result.
What to know
Because it is a stimulator rather than a filler, it cannot be dissolved with an enzyme the way hyaluronic acid can. For exactly that reason, assessment and planning must be careful before starting, and we discuss this candidly at consultation.

FAQ
When will I see results?
Not immediately. Improvement begins to show weeks after the first session and continues to build for months after the last. Anyone wanting a next-day result is better suited to conventional filler.
How many sessions do I need?
Usually 2 to 4 sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with the number set after assessing the degree of volume loss.
Can it be dissolved if I dislike the result?
No. Sculptra is a collagen stimulator, not hyaluronic acid, so no enzyme dissolves it. That is why we insist on careful planning and make sure you understand this before starting.
How long does the effect last?
It tends to last longer than conventional filler in suitable cases, since it relies on collagen your own body has produced. Duration varies between individuals and is discussed at consultation.
