Sculptra

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a naturally biodegradable product that has been used by specialist aestheticians for many years. It is a different type of injectable treatment that was originally developed to correct facial volume loss associated with AIDS. Patients with this condition suffer from severe connective tissue loss around their cheek and chin area.

Sculptra works to provide a long-term solution to this particular problem, by ‘seeding’ the collagen forming cells that reside in the cheeks and inducing them to produce greater quantities of collagen/elastin. The newly created collagen works to enhance the volume of the cheek and smile-line area.

How Much Does Treatment Cost?

The initial treatment costs £450 and each treatment session there-after will cost £400. To achieve a good result a minimum of two sessions will be required at least 6 weeks apart. Many clients choose to have 3 – 4 sessions of treatment spread over 12 months, for optimal effect.

How Do I Prepare For Sculptra?

As with any treatment you will need to have a thorough consultation to decide if this treatment is right for you. However, unlike other botox and filler treatments it is not possible to have the Sculptra treatment at the same appointment as the consultation, as it must mixed at least 4 hours prior to administration.

Therefore although there is nothing special you need to do with your skin in preparation for your Sculptra treatment, we will always book your appointment in an afternoon session and ask you confirm your attendance on the day of the appointment, to prevent any wastage.
