Sculptra, the Liquid Face Lift ⮕

Sculptra is an amazing product which can replace the full firm youthful appearance of the face by restoring volume and providing a lift for wrinkles and contour defects. It is injected into the deep layers of the skin where it stimulates new collagen growth and plumps out the skin giving it a soft and more youthful appearance. Sculptra is considered a long lasting treatment and studies have shown that treatments can last up to 3 years. It is ideal for ageing skin, deep folds, wrinkles, volume defects and contour enhancement.

Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid(PLLA) which is produced synthetically and is both bio-compatible and bio-degradable and does not require allergy testing.It has been used very safely as a compatible polymer in medicine for over 25 years. It is found in bio-resorbable sutures,bone plates and screws and is also a medium for numerous medications.

New collagen growth starts about 3 months after treatment and between 2 and 8 bottles of Sculptra are normally required over a series of appointments. This will depend on the age of the patient , the amount of initial volume loss and presenting skin condition. At about 2 years after the initial treatments a much smaller volume of Sculptra is required to re-stimulate new collagen growth and to maintain the facial volume.

Next generation of Sculptra! Now offering Lenisna and Juvelook ⮕

Juvelook and Lenisna are hybrid injectable collagen stimulators used for skin rejuvenation. They are not traditional fillers but rather collagen boosters that enhance the skin’s natural ability to regenerate, improving volume, texture and elasticity. Juvelook is a hybrid collagen stimulator with a concentration of 42.5 mg of PDLLA (poly D,L-lactic acid) and 7.5 mg of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid. Lenisna is a similar hybrid collagen stimulator with a concentration of 170 mg of PDLLA and 30 mg of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid.

Juvelook is used to treat tired eyes, dark circles, fine lines, or under-eye hollows or bags.

Lenisna can be used to treat facial and body areas.

  • Collagen Stimulation:
    Both products are designed to stimulate collagen production, leading to improvements in skin elasticity, firmness, and overall texture.
  • Long-lasting Results:
    Juvelook offers results lasting 6-12 months, while Lenisna provides benefits for 18-24 months, depending on individual factors.
  • Hybrid Formula:
    The combination of PDLLA and hyaluronic acid allows for immediate volume enhancement and gradual collagen stimulation.
  • Safety and Efficacy:
    Both products have been approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KFDA) and have CE certification in Europe.
  • Versatile Applications:
    Juvelook can be used for the periorbital area, face, neck, and neckline, while Lenisna is particularly effective for deep wrinkles, flabbiness, and tissue loss.
  • Natural-Looking Results:
    The collagen-stimulating effect leads to a more natural and gradual improvement in skin appearance.

Sculptra FAQs ⮕

Does the treatment hurt?

Sculptra treatments are no longer painful. Kate utilises the new cannula technique to inject Sculptra which has removed the risk of extensive bruising and all the discomfort associated with previous needle treatments.

Are there any side effects?

There are very few side effects after Sculptra treatments now that Kate uses cannulas. You are very unlikely to experience any bruising but may notice that the treated areas are slightly tender to the touch for just a few days. You will be able to go out immediately after the treatment and you can apply normal makeup later in the day and resume normal social activities.

What should I do after a treatment?

You will be advised to massage the treated areas twice a day for up to 4 weeks following your treatment.This will help the Sculptra soften into the skin and enhance it’s effect.

When will I see the results of the treatment?

You will see an immediate improvement in your looks following treatment with Sculptra as the liquids that the Sculptra are mixed in will temporarily volumise the skin. However, this will only last a few days and then the true benefits of the treatment will gradually show over the following few months. Sculptra continues to stimulate new collagen growth for up to approximately 10 months after each treatment. A course of 1 to 3 treatments over a period of about 2-4 months may be required to achieve the facial benefits desired.The length of treatment will depend on the age of the patient, number of wrinkles present and the visible volume/collagen loss of the face.
