Sculptra 

Rebuild. Regenerate. Glow

Lately noticing that your face feels softer.. looser… empty… like  it’s slowly slipping from its structure?
When skin starts to sag and that firm, youthful bounce fades, it’s not just volume we lose — it’s collagen. That inner scaffolding that once held everything up.

Sculptra is different. This regenerative injectable doesn’t just fill — it works with your body to rebuild. By stimulating natural collagen deep within the skin, it gradually lifts, tightens, and restores lost volume from within.

Perfect for softening deep folds, improving hollow areas, and tightening lax skin across the face — even the jawline and temples. Over time, your skin becomes firmer, fresher, and visibly more radiant.

This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a quiet transformation. The kind where people can’t quite place what’s changed — only that you look confident, well-rested… and somehow more you.

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra is an advanced biostimulatory injectable that works completely differently from traditional fillers. Instead of just adding volume, it activates your skin’s natural ability to produce collagen — increasing production by up to 66.5%.

The treatment uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which works deep within your skin to rebuild the collagen scaffolding that provides structure and firmness. Over a series of treatments, typically 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, it gradually restores the foundation of youthful-looking skin.

Results develop slowly over 3-6 months as your body builds new collagen, creating natural-looking improvement that can last up to 2+ years.

What makes Sculptra different?

Long-term results: While traditional fillers last 6-18 months, Sculptra results can last 2+ years Natural stimulation: Works with your body’s own collagen production rather than just adding volume Gradual improvement: Results develop slowly, so no one notices you’ve “had work done” Skin quality: Improves hydration, elasticity, and overall skin health Comprehensive treatment: Addresses volume loss and skin laxity simultaneously

This treatment is perfect for people who want significant improvement but prefer gradual, natural-looking results.

What can Sculptra treat?

Facial volume restoration:

  • Hollow temples and cheeks
  • Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Overall facial volume loss
  • Skin laxity and loss of firmness

Advanced applications:

  • Jawline definition and facial contouring
  • Improving overall skin quality and texture
  • Areas where traditional filler isn’t suitable
  • Comprehensive facial rejuvenation

Sculptra works beautifully alone or in combination with other treatments for complete facial restoration.

Who is Sculptra suitable for?
  • Sculptra is ideal for people who:

    • Want significant, long-lasting results
    • Prefer gradual improvement over instant change
    • Have multiple areas of volume loss
    • Want to improve overall skin quality, not just add volume
    • Are committed to a treatment series for optimal results

    It’s particularly effective for those in their 40s and beyond who have more significant volume loss, but can benefit anyone looking for comprehensive skin regeneration.

What is the treatment process?

Sculptra requires a minimum of 2 treatments, typically 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.

Each session builds on the previous one, with your skin gradually producing more collagen over time. Results aren’t immediate — they develop slowly over 3-6 months, creating natural-looking improvement that people notice but can’t pinpoint.

Annual maintenance treatments help optimize longevity, keeping your results looking fresh for years to come.

Post-treatment care: The 5-5-5 rule

Sculptra requires specific aftercare to ensure optimal results and even distribution. This is where the famous “5-5-5 rule” comes in — and it’s actually quite simple once you understand why it matters.

For 5 days after treatment:

  • Massage the treated areas for 5 minutes
  • 5 times per day
  • Using gentle, circular motions

This isn’t just busy work — the massage helps distribute the Sculptra evenly throughout the treated area and encourages proper integration with your tissues. Think of it as helping your investment work to its full potential.

I’ll show you exactly how to massage during your appointment, and you’ll receive written instructions to take home. Most patients find it becomes a lovely, relaxing part of their evening routine.

Additional aftercare:

  • Avoid intense sun exposure for the first few days
  • Stay well-hydrated to support your body’s healing process
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours

The massage is the most important part — it’s what helps ensure your beautiful, even results develop exactly as planned.

How to prepare

Please ensure you arrive to your appointment make up free. 

Ask as many questions as you feel necessary. Im here to help you. 

If its your first time, try and stay relaxed and remember – you are here for a reason. It can be an exciting time, working with you to improve something that may be affecting you. Or for the simple reason that you just want a refresh and improve what you’ve already got, whilst still looking natural. 

The downtime of treatments can be minimal for most undertaking them, with bruising being the most common risk. Although bruises are only temporary, here are some suggestions to help your experience be the best it can be and how to prepare for your treatment. 

To minimize the chance of bruising following injections:

  • Avoid alcohol 48hrs prior to your appointment
  • Consider taking arnica 5-7 days before your appointment
  • Stay well hydrated for 24 hours prior to your appointment

The following medication, this may increase your risk of bruising:

  • Aspirin
  • Ibuprofen/naproxen
  • Vitamin E
  • Fish oil
  • St Johns Wort
  • Ginseng

Please Note: if you have been prescribed medication for a medical condition, please ensure you speak to an appropriate medical professional before stopping medication.

What to expect after treatment

Results from Sculptra work differently to instant gratification treatments — and that’s the beauty of it. This isn’t about immediate volume that fades in months. Sculptra stimulates your own collagen production gradually, so improvements unfold naturally over 2-3 months as your skin rebuilds itself from within.

You’ll notice subtle changes week by week — skin texture improving, volume returning, contours lifting. By around 3 months, you’ll see the full transformation. And because it’s your own collagen, results can last up to 2 years or more.

Most people need 2-3 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results, but we’ll map out your personal treatment plan during consultation based on your specific concerns and goals.

I’ll see you for a review appointment to assess your progress and plan your next session if needed. This is about creating lasting change that ages gracefully with you — not chasing quick fixes that disappear.

Aftercare

Please ensure that the following aftercare instructions are fully adhered to, to avoid adverse reactions and get the best results from your treatment.

Massage is essential — you’ll need to massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days following treatment (the 5-5-5 rule). This helps distribute the product evenly and encourages optimal collagen stimulation.

Use a gentle cleanse and water to clean the face for the following 72hours. Gently dry the treated area. Always make sure the hands are clean before touching the treated area.

Ensure you keep well hydrated following treatment and use creams which hydrate the skin and aid skin healing. Serum antioxidants can help soothe skin and contain properties that promote skin healing.

To ensure a proper healing environment following treatment, it is advisable to avoid the following:

For up to 24hrs:

  • Alcohol consumption 
  • Applying make-up 
  • Touching or rubbing the treated area 
  • Strenuous exercise or activity. Sweating and gym environments may increase harmful bacteria and may cause adverse reactions.

For at least 3 days post treatment:

Do not use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acids, Retinol (vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare. 

 

For up to 2 weeks:

  • Extreme facials and facial massage 
  • Extreme sun exposure 
  • UV light 
  • Temperatures below 0 degrees 
  • Saunas and steam rooms 
  • Wearing well fitted garments on the treated area – such as hats 

If you have any concerns following your treatment or would like to arrange a follow up appointment, please contact the clinic at your earliest convenience

Following the untimely death of my mum I felt I had aged overnight. I went to Kim for some advice on how to “freshen” my face. She took time to explain the treatments she thought would give me the best results and between us we came up with a plan of subtle tweaks. I was a nervous patient but she put me at ease straight away. Kim is an expert in her field, highly professional yet personable and warm. I was utterly amazed at the results! Thank you for my “refresh” and for giving me so much of you and your time to achieve our goal x
