Sculptra for youthful freshness
Over time, the natural ageing process leads to a loss of collagen and volume in the skin. This loss of volume can lead to sagging, wrinkles and a tired appearance. This is where Sculptra comes in. Sculptra stimulates the body's own production of collagen, the protein responsible for the structural strength and elasticity of the skin. By gradually improving the collagen build-up, Sculptra enables a gradual and natural renewal of the skin structure.
Advantages of a Sculptra treatment
- Wrinkle reduction
- Production of the volume
- Long-lasting result
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a so-called biostimulator based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLAA). Poly-L-lactic acid is obtained synthetically and has long been used in various medical products, e.g. skin threads during operations, thread lifts and implants for bone and soft tissue. Poly-L-lactic acid, also known as liquid lifting, can stimulate the tissue to form new collagen fibers and restore lost volume in the face. The results after a Sculptra treatment last up to two years. With multiple sessions, the results last longer.

FAQ
What are the advantages of a Sculptra treatment?
Wrinkle treatment with Sculptra offers many advantages. Both wrinkle smoothing and volume enhancement can be achieved without surgery. Even very deep wrinkles can be effectively smoothed with the help of polylactic acid to achieve a fresh, open and radiant complexion. Wrinkle treatment with Sculptra is gentle on the tissue and has no long downtime.
What are the risks of a Sculptra treatment?
Slight swelling, bruising and redness may occur after the injection, as can also occur with hyaluronic acid injections, for example. However, these side effects are temporary. Allergic reactions as well as hardening and nodule formation are very rare.
What is the difference between Sculptra and hyaluronic acid?
Sculptra and hyaluronic acid are both aesthetic treatments designed to improve the appearance of the skin and counteract the signs of ageing. The two treatments differ in their composition, mode of action and the results they can achieve.
