Sculptra Treatment – Stimulate Your Skin’s Natural Collagen

Sculptra is an advanced injectable collagen-stimulating treatment designed to gradually improve skin firmness, structure and overall quality.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra does not simply add instant volume. Instead, it works with your skin’s natural processes to stimulate collagen production, helping to restore lost firmness and support over time.

The active ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable material that has been used medically for many years. Once injected into the deeper layers of the skin, it encourages your body to produce its own collagen, creating gradual and natural-looking improvements.

Sculptra can be particularly beneficial for patients noticing loss of firmness, facial volume, skin laxity, fine lines and changes in overall skin quality.

At Dermaesthetica, every Sculptra treatment is individually planned by Dr Saba Raja following a detailed consultation, ensuring the treatment is appropriate for your skin, concerns and aesthetic goals.
What Can Sculptra Help With?

Sculptra can be used to help improve:

– Loss of facial volume
– Skin laxity and reduced firmness
– Fine lines and wrinkles
– Sagging skin
– Reduced skin quality and elasticity
– A tired or ageing appearance
– Loss of structural support

The aim is not to dramatically change your appearance, but to encourage gradual improvement and restore a fresher, firmer and more naturally rejuvenated appearance.

Why Choose Sculptra?

Natural-looking results

Sculptra works progressively rather than creating an immediate, over-filled appearance. As collagen production increases, improvements develop gradually.

Collagen stimulation

Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production, helping to improve the skin’s underlying structure, firmness and quality.

Long-lasting results

Results develop gradually and can be long-lasting. Galderma reports that results may last for up to two years, although individual results vary.

A personalised treatment

The number of vials and treatment sessions required varies between patients. Dr Saba will assess your facial structure, skin quality and individual concerns before recommending the most appropriate treatment plan.

1. Before your Consultation

A consultation with Dr Saba Raja is an essential part of your Sculptra journey.

During your consultation, Dr Saba will:

Every treatment plan is personalised. The number of treatments required will depend on your individual needs and the degree of correction required.

Discuss your concerns and desired outcome
Assess your skin quality, facial structure and areas of concern
Review your medical history and current medication
Assess whether Sculptra is suitable for you
Explain how the treatment works
Discuss the number of sessions and amount of product that may be required
Explain expected results, potential side effects and aftercare
Answer any questions you may have

2. Treatment

Sculptra is injected into the deeper layers of the skin using carefully selected injection points and techniques.

Immediately following treatment, you may experience temporary swelling or redness. The initial changes should not be mistaken for the final result, as Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your own collagen production.

The treatment itself is usually completed within approximately 45–60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

Dr Saba will:

Prepare the treatment area
Use a precise injection technique
Treat the areas identified during your consultation
Ensure your comfort throughout the procedure
Provide personalised advice following treatment

3. Aftercare

Following your Sculptra treatment, Dr Saba will provide you with personalised aftercare instructions.

Some temporary redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness can occur following injectable treatment. These effects generally settle over the following days.

Your Questions

Every person’s concerns are unique, which is why we take a tailored approach to treatment. Whether you’re looking to address facial ageing, body confidence, or specific skin conditions such as pigmentation, texture, or scarring, our focus is on understanding your goals and creating a plan that enhances your natural features while maintaining healthy, balanced results.

What does this treatment do?
Sunekos stimulates your skin’s own collagen and elastin production — the building blocks of youthful skin. It improves skin elasticity, hydration and firmness, smooths fine lines, reduces the appearance of sun damage, and restores a healthy, natural glow.

Downtime is minimal. You may notice small red dots or slight swelling immediately after treatment — this typically settles within 24–48 hours. Most people return to normal activities straight away.

Sunekos is designed as a course of 3 sessions, spaced 2 weeks apart. Results continue to improve over the course and develop further for up to 6 months after your final session. Maintenance sessions can be discussed to prolong your results.
To ensure your comfort during the treatment, we apply a topical numbing cream beforehand. You may still experience a sensation of mild pressure or pinprick discomfort during the procedure, but this is well-tolerated and brief.
