Sculptra is a cosmetic procedure aimed at smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin health. It is an injectable Poly-L-Lactic acid that works to restore poor skin elastin and declining collagen, helping to improve fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is performed in 40 minutes with topical anaesthetic and is aimed at addressing full areas of the face, neck, or hands. It helps revitalize dull, dry skin and smooth out lines and wrinkles, restoring a smooth, healthy glow to the skin. Many patients require 1-2 sessions of Sculptra to see maximum results, which can last up to two years. Sculptra is not a dermal filler and is aimed at achieving skin health and minimizing fine lines, whereas dermal fillers help contour and restore lost facial volume. At VIVA, we recommend a combination treatment of both Sculptra and dermal fillers for optimal facial rejuvenation.

WHAT IS SCULPTRA?

Sculpra is a non-invasive injectable treatment that restores lost volume and improves skin laxity for patients concerned with jowling, crepey skin and poor skin health. Sculptra is made of Poly-L-acid acid and is a temporary treatment that lasts up to two years. Sculptra is classified as a “bio- stimulator” for its collagen producing properties which help repair skin elasticity as well as restoring lost volume. Sculptra is injected into the face with lidocaine for comfort using a cannula.

HOW DOES SCULPTRA WORK?

Sculptra injections target facial wrinkles with precision, thanks to its active ingredient PLLA, a collagen stimulator. Through this process, gradual restoration of facial volume occurs, resulting in a refined and rejuvenated appearance. Your  skin transforms, regaining its natural fullness and vitality. Sculptra continues to improve collage production up to three years.

WHAT AREAS DOES SCULPTRA TREAT?

Sculptra is a full face treatment but can also treat certain areas of the face such as:

• Temples
• Cheeks
• Contouring

WHO IS SUITABLE FOR SCULPTRA?

Sculptra is suitable for any patient that is concerned with dull skin, aging skin or sagging skin. Sculptra is a excellent choice for patients that do not want to opt for dermal filler or as a combination to dermal filler for a total full face rejuvenation and anti-aging procedure. At VIVA, we often recommend a course of Sculptra to get the best results from dermal filler and toxin treatments.

HOW MUCH IS SCULPTRA?

We charge £700 for two vials of Sculptra per session which covers the full face.
