Progressive Facial Rejuvenation with Long-Lasting Results
At House of Smiles, Sculptra is offered as an advanced injectable treatment for patients seeking subtle, natural-looking restoration of facial volume and structure. Rather than delivering immediate volumisation, Sculptra works gradually beneath the surface to stimulate collagen production, supporting the skin’s underlying framework over time.
This treatment is ideally suited to those who prefer refined, understated enhancement with results that develop progressively and endure.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a substance that encourages the body to produce its own collagen.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which provide instant volume, Sculptra focuses on improving the skin’s structural integrity. Over a series of treatments, it helps restore lost volume, improve skin firmness, and soften the visible signs of ageing in a gradual and natural manner.
How Sculptra Works
Once injected into targeted areas of the face, Sculptra acts as a scaffold beneath the skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production.
Over time, this process helps to:
• Restore facial volume in areas affected by age-related loss
• Improve skin thickness, elasticity, and support
• Soften lines and folds
• Enhance overall facial contour and balance
Because results develop progressively, the outcome is subtle, harmonious, and avoids an overfilled appearance.
Treatment Areas
Sculptra is commonly used to address volume loss and skin laxity in areas such as:
• Cheeks and midface
• Temples
• Jawline
• Lower face
• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
In selected cases, it may also be used for broader facial rejuvenation to improve overall structure and skin quality.
Treatment Protocol
A personalised treatment plan will be designed following consultation, based on your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. Typically:
• A course of 2–3 sessions is recommended
• Treatments are spaced several weeks apart
Sculptra is administered using precise injection techniques to ensure even distribution and optimal collagen stimulation.
Results and Longevity
Sculptra delivers results that evolve over time rather than appearing immediately.
• Initial changes are subtle and progressive
• Collagen production increases gradually over several weeks
• Noticeable improvements typically develop within 6–12 weeks
• Results can last 2 years or longer, depending on individual response
The outcome is a refreshed, naturally restored appearance with long-term structural benefits.
Downtime and Aftercare
Sculptra is a minimally invasive treatment with limited downtime.
Following treatment, patients are advised to:
• Massage the treated areas as instructed by your practitioner
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Refrain from heat exposure such as saunas and steam rooms for several days
• Avoid excessive sun exposure immediately after treatment
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
