Sculptra restores lost volume and boosts collagen for gradual, long-lasting facial rejuvenation. A natural, non-surgical way to refresh your look.
Sculptra is an advanced injectable treatment designed to restore lost facial volume, enhance skin firmness, and stimulate natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide instant plumpness, Sculptra works gradually — delivering long-lasting, natural-looking results over time. It’s a powerful solution for facial rejuvenation and overall skin health, helping to address volume loss caused by ageing or weight loss.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that works beneath the skin’s surface to rebuild your body’s collagen framework. Once injected, Sculptra triggers your skin’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring lost volume and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. The process unfolds over several weeks, with improvements becoming more noticeable over time. Most patients see optimal results after a series of treatments, with outcomes that can last up to two years or more.
Sculptra is a highly versatile treatment and can target multiple areas, including:
A typical Sculptra session lasts 30 to 60 minutes. To ensure comfort, a numbing agent may be applied before the procedure. Our skilled injectors will carefully place Sculptra into targeted areas using fine needles, strategically stimulating collagen and restoring volume over time.
For best results, most patients require a course of two to three sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart. This staggered approach allows collagen to build gradually, achieving a natural enhancement without drastic changes.

Sculptra results typically last between two to three years. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate volume, Sculptra works by stimulating collagen production, meaning results develop gradually. However, factors like metabolism, lifestyle, and skincare routine can affect longevity. Many patients choose maintenance treatments to prolong the effects.
It depends on your goals. Sculptra is ideal for long-term collagen stimulation, making it a great option for improving skin texture and volume loss over time. In contrast, dermal fillers provide instant volume and definition, often used for specific areas like the lips or under the eyes. If you’re looking for a natural, gradual improvement, Sculptra might be the better choice. If you want instant plumpness, fillers could be more suitable.
The price of Sculptra in the UK varies, but it typically ranges from £600 per vial. The total cost depends on how many vials are needed to achieve your desired results. Most people require at least two to four vials over multiple sessions.
A single vial of Sculptra in the UK usually costs from £600. Prices can vary based on the clinic, the practitioner's experience, and the location.
For many, Sculptra is a worthwhile investment. Unlike traditional fillers, which break down relatively quickly, Sculptra stimulates natural collagen production, leading to gradual and longer-lasting results. If you’re looking for a treatment that enhances skin quality and provides subtle, long-term volume restoration, it can be well worth the cost. However, if you prefer instant results, fillers may be a better choice.
It depends on the degree of volume loss and your personal aesthetic goals. Two vials may be enough for mild collagen stimulation or for younger individuals looking for preventative treatment. However, those with significant volume loss or deeper wrinkles may require three to four vials spread across multiple sessions for optimal results. A consultation with our doctors will help determine the right amount for you.
Sculptra does not physically "lift" the face like a surgical facelift, but it does restore lost volume and improve skin firmness, which can create a subtle lifting effect. By stimulating collagen production, it helps tighten and plump the skin, reducing sagging and softening deep wrinkles over time.
Not necessarily. Four vials are commonly recommended for those with moderate to severe volume loss or individuals over 40 experiencing noticeable skin laxity. The vials are usually administered over multiple sessions, allowing for gradual collagen production and a natural-looking result. However, each person’s needs vary, so our doctors will assess the right amount for you.
Yes, Sculptra can be highly effective after 50. As collagen production slows with age, Sculptra helps restore lost volume and improve skin texture by stimulating natural collagen renewal. Many patients in their 50s and beyond see significant improvement in skin firmness and overall facial rejuvenation, making it a great non-surgical option for ageing skin.
