What is Sculptra and how does it work?
Sculptra is a collagen stimulator made by Galderma, a Swiss skin-health company, and approved by the US FDA. It contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a material used safely in medicine for decades, including in dissolvable stitches, which is why it is often called a PLLA filler, though it works differently from gel fillers. Your doctor places tiny amounts in the deeper layers of the skin, where the microparticles act as a scaffold that prompts your skin to make new collagen. Your body then gently breaks the PLLA down, leaving your own collagen behind.
Sculptra benefits
- Your own collagen: it rebuilds support instead of just filling a line.
- Natural results: fullness returns gradually, so nobody sees a sudden change.
- Long-lasting: results can last up to two years.
- Whole-face support: cheeks, temples and jawline treated in one plan.
- Firmer skin: skin feels thicker and firmer as collagen builds.
- Comfortable visits: 30 to 45 minutes, with an anaesthetic mixed in.
Sculptra vs fillers: collagen injections for lasting volume
Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume the moment they are injected, so they suit a quick, precise change, such as the lips or a defined chin. Sculptra works the other way round: it adds little on the day, then rebuilds collagen over two to three months, so it suits wider volume loss across the cheeks, temples and jawline, where a gradual, natural change matters more than speed. Many people combine the two, with fillers for shape and Sculptra for overall support.
Sculptra before and after
Any fullness straight after treatment is mostly water and settles within a few days. The real change then builds over two to three months after each session as new collagen forms, with firmer, fuller-looking cheeks and softer folds. In a trial in which 116 adults had PLLA for their smile lines, the improvement lasted up to 25 months after the last session. Our patients share their own results in the videos below.

Who shouldn’t have Sculptra?
Sculptra isn’t suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an active skin infection in the area, if you are prone to keloid scars, or for the lips and the skin around the eyes. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
Your Sculptra treatment, step by step

- Treatment: small injections into the deeper skin, taking 30–45 minutes.
- Course: usually 2–3 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart.

Results and recovery
Swelling, tenderness or a small bruise are common for a few days, and most people are back at work the next day; small bumps under the skin can occasionally form, which is why careful technique and the massage routine matter. The early fullness fades within days, then firmer, fuller-looking cheeks build over two to three months and can last up to two years.
Aftercare
- Massage 5 min, 5 times a day, for 5 days
- No gym, sauna or steam for a few days
- Use a wrapped ice pack for swelling
- Wear sunscreen every day
