SCULPTRA
the key to firmer skin
Sculptra
Do you have volume loss and has the elasticity of your skin decreased? As we age, the skin makes less collagen, which causes the skin to become saggier and also less firm, actually this is man's natural aging process. Our skin is made up of 75% of collagen, which makes the skin young and firm. You can imagine that when the production of collagen decreases, the firmness of the skin also decreases. And as a result, we look older. Get more wrinkles, the skin loosens, we get creases in our face, etc.
Through Sculptra, the production of collagen is stimulated (again). Sculptra is a biodegradable poly-L-lactic acid, also known as PLLA. This poly-L-lactic acid is injected into the skin and the microparticles of PLLA work deep into the skin to stimulate the natural production of collagen. As a result, the skin gradually becomes firmer and more youthful again.
Sculptra has been used in medical products for more than 30 years and is proven safe. Sculptra is suitable for both women and men.
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra is introduced into the skin through injections. Anesthesia is always used, making the treatment easy to undergo.
Because the body itself is put to work, the results of the treatment are not immediately visible. Gradually and subtly, after about 8 weeks you will see improvement in skin quality, elasticity, improvement of wrinkles and see a more youthful appearance. Sculptra provides a natural look, you go back in time, so to speak!
Sculptra addresses the cause of skin aging and is proven effective. Clients are very satisfied with the results.
In addition, Sculptra has a long-lasting effect for up to 2 years. Sculptra is very good to combine with one of our skin boosters that simultaneously provide a beautiful glow.
We always work very carefully and want to consult with our client about her or his wishes, the possibilities and expectations before we proceed to treat.

The benefits of Sculptra at a glance:
- Stimulates natural collagen production for a gradual, youthful appearance.
- Not a filler, works with your body to make skin firmer.
- Long-lasting effect, with results lasting up to 2 years.
- Suitable for both men and women and has a proven safety record.

On average, 3 treatments are needed, spread over several months, to achieve the optimal result. Together with one of our cosmetic doctors, a treatment plan is drawn up to achieve this result.
The results become visible gradually: this means that the changes are subtle and usually not immediately visible after the first treatment. Based on clinical studies, the first results were visible after only 1 month and lasted up to 2 years. To maintain optimal results, regular maintenance sessions with the cosmetic doctor are recommended.
Sculptra is not a filler. Sculptra is not comparable to other (Hyaluronic Acid based) fillers, as it does not (fill up) the areas to be treated. The PLLA particles (Poly-L lactic acid particles) work deep into the skin to (re)activate and stimulate the body's own natural collagen response. As the body itself re-generates new collagen, the skin is repaired from the inside out. Results become gradually visible and can last up to 2 years.
Sculptra is the only collagen biostimulator treatment that has both FDA* approval and a European CE Mark**. Sculptra has been used for more than 30 years. However, as with all treatments, side effects can sometimes occur. The most common side effects are redness of the skin, swelling, itching, bruising or pain and sensitivity at the site of the treated area. These reactions usually disappear shortly after the injection for up to 2 weeks after treatment.
To ensure optimal results and a gradual, long-term effect of Sculptra, it is important that you follow your doctor's aftercare instructions carefully.
Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days after your treatment. Use a moisturizer to reduce friction while massaging. In the first 24 hours after treatment, apply a cooling compress wrapped in a clean towel to the treated area to reduce any swelling.
You may resume using makeup a few hours after the Sculptra treatment if no complications arise.
Avoid sun and UV sunbed exposure until swelling and redness are completely gone. Avoid sauna/steam baths for 24 hours.
