Sculptra Collagen Stimulator
A gradual improvement, built from your own collagen.
A gradual improvement, built from your own collagen.
Sculptra is a doctor-administered injectable containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that works differently to a traditional filler. Rather than providing immediate volume, it is designed to gradually stimulate the body's own collagen production over time, supporting a progressive, natural-looking improvement in skin structure and volume.
Dr Gerald Tan assesses your skin quality and volume goals at consultation to determine whether Sculptra's gradual approach — typically delivered across a short course of sessions — suits what you're looking for.
Dr Gerald Tan assesses your facial structure and skin quality before mapping out a Sculptra treatment plan, typically delivered across a short course of sessions spaced weeks apart. Each session involves careful injection of the PLLA formulation into target areas, where it gradually stimulates your body's own collagen production. Because the effect builds over time rather than appearing instantly, patience and a realistic timeline are part of the plan from the outset.
Broad, gradual thinning of facial volume associated with ageing.
A desire for improved skin structure alongside subtle volume support.
Patients who would rather ease into a new look than see an instant transformation.
Those comfortable committing to a short course of sessions for a progressive result.
Mild swelling at injection sites is common initially and typically settles within a few days.
Collagen stimulation builds gradually across this period and subsequent sessions, with most patients noticing a progressive change rather than a sudden shift.
Once the full course is complete, effects can typically last up to around two years, though this varies by individual.
