Woman's Face Comparison

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an injectable treatment containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This biocompatible substance stimulates your body's natural collagen production over time. It gradually restores facial volume lost to aging, improving the appearance of wrinkles and folds for a natural, rejuvenated look. Results appear over weeks and can last up to two years.

What to expect

During a Sculptra appointment, expect a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and assess your facial structure. The treatment area will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. Instead of multiple needle pricks, a small entry point will be made for the cannula, a thin, flexible tube.

​

The Sculptra product will then be gently injected through the cannula into the targeted areas, allowing for precise and even distribution with fewer injection sites. You might feel some pressure but less discomfort compared to traditional needles.

 

The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes. Afterward, your practitioner will massage the treated areas to ensure proper product placement. Mild swelling or bruising is possible but generally less with cannula use. You'll receive aftercare instructions, including the important 5-5-5 massage rule (massaging the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days).

The process 

Before treatment 

At your consultation your goals will be discussed and your face assessed. Dr Horlick will recommend a treatment plan based on this assessment. A consent form will be completed and before photos taken. You will now be ready for your treatment.

During treatment 

The treatment area will be cleaned and local anaesthetic cream applied. Once you are numb, Dr Horlick will mark out the treatment area and then commence the treatment. 

After treatment 

You will be advised of the aftercare instructions and provided with a digital copy of them. The consultation and treatment time is around 45-60 minutes. 

Results 

You can expect to see some temporary swelling immediately and swelling +/- bruising may present for up to 2 weeks following the treatment. Results become visible from 6 weeks, with maximum results around 6 months after the 3rd treatment. Results can last for up to 2 years, depending on a variety of individual and lifestyle factors.
