Sculptra®Aesthetic
Think of this as a 401k for your collagen. Invest now, enjoy the returns for years.
This isn't a quick fix; it's the long game. Sculptra® (PLLA-SCA) is a bio-stimulator that wakes up your body's own collagen factories. Whether it's restoring facial volume or filling hip dips, the results are 100% you.
Bio-Hacking Your Skin
Why rent volume when you can own it? Sculptra puts your skin back to work.
As we age, our collagen factories shut down (rude, we know). Sculptra re-opens them. It uses Poly-L-Lactic Acid (the same stuff used in dissolvable stitches) to trigger a natural regeneration process. Over time, the PLLA disappears, leaving behind a strong network of your own new collagen.
Undetectable
Because the volume grows gradually, no one will ask 'what did you get done?'. They'll just say you look amazing.
Hip Dip Fix
Smooth out the lateral dents in your hips for that hourglass silhouette without surgery.
Texture Reset
Significantly improves crepey skin on the neck, chest, and knees.
The Process
It's a journey, not a sprint. Here is the mechanism.
Implant
We inject the PLLA micro-particles into deep tissue.
Activate
Your body detects these particles and sends fibroblasts (builder cells) to the area.
Build
Fibroblasts weave new strands of collagen around the particles.
Dissolve
The PLLA harmlessly turns into CO2 and water, leaving only your new structure behind.
Ideal Candidates
Best for those playing the long game with their beauty.
You're a Match If:
- +You have hollow temples or sunken cheeks ('Gaunt' look)
- +You hate the idea of looking 'puffy' or 'filled'
- +You want to fix hip dips or enhance glutes without a BBL surgery
- +You have crepey skin on your neck or decolletage
- +You are patient enough to wait 2-3 months for the full reveal
Maybe Not If:
- –You need to look perfect for a wedding *next week* (This takes time!)
- –You have a history of keloid scarring
- –Active infection in the area
The Art of Sculpting
Sculptra is technically difficult to inject well. You need an artist, not just a nurse.

The Session
Mix
We mix the Sculptra powder with sterile water and lidocaine (numbing).
Numb
Local anesthetic makes the procedure very comfortable.
Sculpt
We fan the product across the treatment area for even coverage.
Massage
We vigorously massage deeper to ensure distribution.
The Golden Rule: 5-5-5
You MUST massage the area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days.
This is non-negotiable for good results.
You will look 'puffy' with water weight for 24 hours – this is normal.
True results start showing at week 6-8.
**Most people need 2-3 sessions for full correction.
The Details
How many vials do I need?+
rule of thumb: 1 vial per decade of life. So if you're 30, aim for ~3 vials total over 2-3 sessions.
Is it permanent?+
Semi-permanent. The collagen you build is yours and lasts up to 25 months. After that, you just need a yearly top-up (usually 1 vial) to maintain.
What if I don't massage?+
Don't risk it! Not massaging can lead to small collagen knots (nodules) forming under the skin. Massage keeps everything smooth.
Can I do Sculptra AND Filler?+
Yes! We call it the 'Liquid Lift'. Sculptra for the foundation/structure, Filler for detailed refining (like lips or chin tip).
Does it work for cellulite?+
It helps! By thickening the skin and filling dimples, it can significantly smooth out cellulite texture on the butt and thighs.
