Sculptra – Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Collagen Stimulator for Long-Lasting Facial Volume Restoration

Sculptra is a premium injectable collagen biostimulator made from Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), designed to restore facial volume, improve skin structure, and stimulate the body’s natural collagen production over time. Developed by Galderma, Sculptra does not act as a traditional dermal filler; instead, it works deep within the dermis to gradually rebuild collagen networks, resulting in progressive, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

• Long-lasting rejuvenation effects (up to 24 months)
• Natural-looking results without overfilled appearance

Mechanism of Action

Sculptra works by activating fibroblasts in the dermis, which gradually increases the production of type I collagen. As the PLLA microparticles are metabolized by the body, they leave behind newly formed collagen structures that improve skin support, density, and facial volume.

This process results in a gradual and natural restoration of facial contours rather than immediate volumization.

Treatment Protocol & Duration

Results are not immediate and typically begin to appear after 6–8 weeks, with continued improvement over several months. A typical treatment plan may involve multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart.

The final results can last up to 24 months, depending on individual biology, dosage, and treatment technique.

Administration & Injection Depth

Sculptra is intended for injection into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer by trained medical professionals. Proper dilution and post-injection massage are essential to ensure even distribution and reduce the risk of nodules or uneven results.

Storage Instructions

• Store between 2°C and 25°C
• Protect from heat and direct sunlight
• Do not freeze
• Use only after proper reconstitution

Safety Information

Temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness may occur after injection. As with all collagen-stimulating injectables, results depend on correct technique, dilution, and patient response. Treatments must be performed only by qualified healthcare professionals.

Important Notice

Sculptra is intended strictly for professional use by licensed healthcare practitioners experienced in injectable collagen-stimulating procedures and aesthetic facial bioremodelling.
