Discover Sculptra at Skin Lab Medispa, Marylebone – a unique approach to skin rejuvenation that delivers natural, gradual results. Sculptra works beneath the surface to stimulate collagen production, restoring youthful volume and enhancing your natural beauty from the inside out
Understanding Sculptra
Your Journey to Natural, Lasting Volume
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, the vital protein that keeps it firm, smooth, and youthful. This loss can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and a decrease in facial volume. At Skin Lab Medispa, we believe in solutions that work with your body's natural processes. That's why we're excited to offer Sculptra, a unique treatment designed to subtly and gradually restore your skin's youthful contours.
Let's delve deeper into understanding Sculptra:
​
What Exactly Is Sculptra?
Sculptra isn't your typical dermal filler. While traditional fillers primarily work by directly adding volume, Sculptra takes a different, more natural approach. It's an injectable treatment that contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic substance. This means it's safe for the body and is naturally broken down over time. Think of it as a collagen biostimulator – it works with your skin to rebuild its own support structure.
​
The Science Behind Sculptra
Its Chemical Structure Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) belongs to the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) family. However, unlike other AHAs used for exfoliation, PLLA works within the deeper layers of the skin. Its microparticles, once injected, act as a scaffold, prompting your body's own fibroblasts – the cells responsible for collagen production – to get to work. Over time, as the PLLA particles are gradually metabolized, the newly generated collagen remains, providing a lasting, natural lift.
The Remarkable Benefits of Sculptra for Your Skin:
Sculptra offers a range of compelling benefits for those seeking natural and long-lasting facial rejuvenation:
-
Gradual and Natural Volume Restoration: Unlike immediate plumping from some fillers, Sculptra works subtly over time. You'll notice a gradual improvement in volume and fullness, creating a more natural and refreshed appearance without looking "overdone."
-
Stimulates Your Own Collagen Production: This is the key differentiator. Sculptra doesn't just fill; it helps your skin rebuild its own support system, leading to longer-lasting results.
-
Improves Skin Texture and Firmness: As collagen levels increase, you'll likely notice an improvement in your skin's overall texture, becoming smoother and firmer.
-
Addresses Underlying Volume Loss: Sculptra effectively targets the root cause of many aging concerns – the loss of underlying facial volume.
-
Long-Lasting Results: While the PLLA itself is metabolized, the newly generated collagen can provide noticeable improvements for up to two years or more, making it a worthwhile investment in your skin's future.
-
Versatile Treatment Areas: Sculptra can be used to address volume loss and improve contours in various areas of the face, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, and even to soften the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

Your Sculptra FAQs Answered
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable treatment that helps restore lost facial volume and enhance your natural contours. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your skin's own collagen production. It contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance.
​
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra's active ingredient, PLLA, works deep within the skin to stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production. Over time, as the PLLA particles are absorbed, your body produces new collagen, which gradually restores volume and improves skin structure.
​
What is Sculptra used for?
Sculptra is primarily used to address age-related volume loss in the face. It can effectively treat:
-
Cheeks (to restore volume and lift)
-
Temples (to fill in hollow areas)
-
Jawline (to define and contour)
Is Sculptra safe?
Yes, Sculptra is considered safe. The main ingredient, PLLA, is a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used in various medical applications for many years.
Sculptra Treatment Process
​
What should I expect during a Sculptra treatment?
A Sculptra treatment involves a series of injections into the targeted areas of your face. The procedure is typically well-tolerated, and your practitioner may use a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. The number of injections and treatment sessions will vary depending on your individual needs and the areas being treated.
​
How long does a Sculptra treatment session take?
A typical Sculptra treatment session usually takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
​
How many Sculptra treatments will I need?
Most patients require a series of 2 to 3 Sculptra treatment sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Your practitioner will determine the best treatment plan for you during your consultation.
​
Is there any downtime after Sculptra?
Downtime is typically minimal. You may experience some temporary side effects such as mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. These usually resolve within a few days.
Sculptra Results and Longevity
​
When will I see results from Sculptra?
Unlike immediate-result fillers, Sculptra's results appear gradually. You will start to notice subtle improvements in volume and skin quality within a few weeks after your first treatment session. The full results become visible over a few months as your body produces new collagen.
​
How long do Sculptra results last?
Sculptra provides long-lasting results. The effects can last for up to two years or even longer, depending on individual factors.
​
Is Sculptra permanent?
Sculptra itself is not permanent, as the PLLA is eventually absorbed by the body. However, the new collagen that Sculptra stimulates can provide long-lasting improvements in facial volume and skin quality.
Sculptra vs. Other Treatments
​
How does Sculptra differ from hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers? Sculptra and HA fillers work differently. HA fillers provide immediate volume by directly adding filler material, while Sculptra stimulates your skin to produce its own collagen for gradual and long-lasting volume restoration.
​
Is Sculptra better than fillers?
Neither treatment is inherently "better." The best option depends on your individual needs and goals. Sculptra is ideal for those seeking natural-looking, gradual, and long-lasting volume restoration, while HA fillers are better suited for immediate results or targeting specific areas.
