*Individual results vary as the outcomes experienced by one person do not necessarily reflect the outcomes that other people may experience, as results may vary due to many factors, including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
How does Sculptra work?
Poly-L-lactic acid is an absorbable, semi-permanent implant that can gradually restore volume and stimulate collagen formation. It is administered beneath the skin’s surface and as the microparticles are absorbed, it encourages the body to rebuild its own collagen, gently restoring skin structure and volume.
What areas can collagen stimulation treat?
Collagen stimulation primarily focuses on enhancing facial areas affected by ageing or illness.
- Cheeks – restores volume and contours
- Jawline – improves definition
- Temples – fills in hollow areas
- Facial Wrinkles – addresses deep lines and improves skin quality and thickness
- Chin – enhances shape and projection
- Marionette Lines – reduces the appearance of lines around the mouth

FAQs

Is the treatment painful?
Collagen treatment may cause some discomfort, however, pain is typically minimal and manageable. We use a topical anaesthetic to ease any discomfort, making the procedure relatively comfortable for most clients.
How long does it last?
The results of your initial treatment are not immediate but develop over time, lasting up to two years or more in many cases. This longevity is due to gradual stimulation of natural collagen production, which enhances skin thickness and quality over months.
Is Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) better than treatments that fill, lift & improve skin texture?
Advantages over traditional fillers like hyaluronic acid fillers as it works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production, providing longer-lasting results that improve skin quality and structure. It is particularly effective for patients looking for gradual improvements in skin appearance and texture.
What's the difference between this collagen treatment and other common cosmetic fillers?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate volume by filling the treated area, this works as a collagen stimulator, using Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to initiate a human tissue response that gradually produces collagen. This leads to more natural and durable improvements in skin quality and facial volume.

- Is hypersensitive to ingredients including poly-L-lactic acid
