What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a temporary facial injectable used to add volume to areas of the face and body to create a soft, natural, more youthful recontouring of the face.

Sculptra® works by stimulating collagen production over a period of time, with results lasting for up to 2 years, however with annual upkeep, you can maintain excellent results for 5-10 years.

Collagen continues to build throughout treatment, meaning that your natural store of collagen is maintained - and even increased - as you age and your store of collagen would otherwise naturally deplete.

Results are achieved by injecting Sculptra® into targeted areas of the face to create an overall volumizing and rejuvenating effect. Sculptra® can also be used to help contour the body.

Why do people have it?

This is an ideal treatment for anyone looking for a more youthful look that develops over time, with longer-lasting results and less frequent maintenance.

Even women as young as their 30's can benefit from having Sculptra treatments as it gives you the foundation for keeping your collagen strong in the long term. Because of the way it encourages your body's cells to create new collagen, it can dramatically improve your skin health, which gives your skin a nice dewy look, sometimes referred to as the 'Sculptra Glow'.

As with all injectable fillers and treatments, the technique is essential to achieving the best possible results. At Cadogan Clinic, our dermatologists and surgeons have extensive experience and use the most advanced techniques for the greatest outcome.

The benefits of a Sculptra are both cosmetic and psychological, and include:

• Rejuvenated facial appearance
• Smoother, tightened surface skin
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
• Restored volume and facial proportions
• Boost collagen levels in the skin
• Improved sense of emotional wellbeing

What does Sculptra Treatment involve?

Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic and biocompatible gel comprised of the same lactic acid that occurs naturally in the body - a very similar material to dissolvable stitches and soft tissue implants.

Once injected, it works to generate collagen production that is significant enough to fill out facial contours, grooves, and hollows, and add a lifted effect to cheeks.

Results are not immediate but are first visible around 6 weeks after treatment, and then continue to reveal themselves slowly for up to 2 years following treatment.

What areas of the face are suitable for Sculptra Treatment?

Sculptra can reduce fine lines and wrinkles and add volume in all areas of the face impacted by the ageing process. The overall effect is to deliver a refreshed, rejuvenated facial appearance.

Common areas for treatment include the upper, mid and lower face:

• Cheeks
• Chin
• Crow’s Feet
• Forehead
• Jawline
• Mesolabial folds (mouth to chin lines)
• Mouth
• Nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines)
• Temples 

We can also inject Sculptra into the body in areas such as the buttocks, thighs and arms to improve body contouring.

Due to our underlying medical philosophy and strict medical standards, we only offer Sculptra® treatments by trained consultant dermatologists or plastic surgeons. Not only is this safer, but is proven to deliver superior aesthetic outcomes.

You will meet with one of our highly trained cosmetic dermatologists or surgeons at our Clinic on Sloane Street, Chelsea for a no-obligation in-person assessment.

Your consultant will discuss the following with you at this consultation:

• The best options for you and your facial anatomy, and the results that you would likely achieve
• An explanation of the procedure, recovery and likely outcomes and costs
• Go through your past medical history
• Answer any questions you may have

If you both agree that treatment is desirable during the consultation, your treatment can take place there and then during the same visit.

Our consultation fee is £100, this can be redeemed against any treatment if you choose to have the treatment delivered the same day, during your visit.

You are then invited back for a free post-treatment review session 4 – 6 weeks later.
