Overview
About sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable based on poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material used in medicine for many years. Instead of filling an area directly, it stimulates the skin's own collagen production over time.
Because the effect develops gradually, Sculptra suits patients who prefer subtle, progressive improvement in facial volume and skin quality over an immediate change.
Whether Sculptra is the right choice, alone or as part of a wider facial plan, is determined at consultation. Treatment options are determined following an individual assessment.

Where Sculptra may play a role
Gradual restoration of facial volume
Support for areas affected by age-related changes
Improvement in overall skin quality and firmness
Natural-looking results as part of a facial remodeling plan
Approach
How the treatment works
After injection, the poly-L-lactic acid particles act as a stimulus for the skin to produce new collagen. The visible effect therefore appears progressively over weeks to months rather than immediately.
Treatment is typically planned as a course, with the number and spacing of sessions determined individually. Dr. Kashmar will explain the plan appropriate for your assessment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Sculptra?
An injectable treatment based on poly-L-lactic acid that stimulates the skin's own collagen production, producing gradual improvement in volume and skin quality.

Filler adds volume directly and immediately; Sculptra stimulates your own collagen, so the effect builds progressively over time.
How many sessions will I need?
The course is planned individually after assessment. It depends on the treatment area and your skin.
When will I see results?
Because Sculptra works through collagen stimulation, visible change develops over weeks to months rather than immediately.
Is Sculptra safe?
Poly-L-lactic acid has a long history of medical use. As with all injectables, suitability and risks are individual and reviewed at consultation.
