Sculptra® The natural way to treat wrinkles.

As we age, the skin loses elasticity, firmness, and volume. Fine and deep wrinkles appear, and facial contours look less defined. For anyone who desires a subtle yet lasting regeneration of their facial features, offers Sculptra® an innovative solution: Instead of just filling the skin, Sculptra® specifically stimulates body's own collagen production – for a naturally fresh look with a long-lasting effect.

In our clinic in Berlin, we use Sculptra® for gentle and deep-acting biostimulation – tailored individually.

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulator based on Poly-L-lactic acid, a well-tolerated active ingredient that has been used in medicine for many years. After the injection, Sculptra® stimulates collagen-producing cells stimulates the skin to build new connective tissue. The result is a natural tightening and volume restoration – without the immediately visible effects of classic fillers.

Unlike hyaluronic acid, which binds water and directly plumps up the tissue, Sculptra® relies on a long-term, regenerative effect from inside the skin.

Who is Sculptra® suitable for?

Sculptra® is particularly suitable for individuals who:

• one natural volume enhancement wish

• deep wrinkles who want to have sagging facial features treated

• itself a lasting improvement skin texture desires

• on avoid artificial fillers want

• want to correct mild to moderate volume deficits in the cheeks, chin, temples, or jawline

Sculptra® is not recommended in cases of acute skin inflammation, allergies to its ingredients, or very pronounced expression lines—other procedures (e.g., Botox® or hyaluronic acid) are better suited here.

Which areas can be treated with Sculptra®?

We achieve particularly good results with Sculptra® in:

• Nasolabial folds

• marionette lines

• sunken temples

• loss of cheek volume

• sagging chin area

• Loss of contour along the jawline

For forehead wrinkles, lip volume, or crow's feet, we use other specially suited procedures in our clinic, such as hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin.

How does a Sculptra® treatment work?

1. Consultation & Skin Analysis
   We clarify your individual wishes, analyze the skin structure and jointly determine the treatment plan.

2. Skin preparation
   If required, a numbing cream is applied to make the treatment particularly comfortable.

3. Injection of Sculptra®
   The active ingredient is injected into deeper skin layers or the upper subcutis – precisely, selectively, and evenly distributed.

4. Aftercare & Massage
   After the injection, the area is gently massaged so that the product is distributed optimally. We will explain to you how to continue the massage at home for the next few days.

Duration of treatment: approx. 30–45 minutes
Ambulatory & suitable for everyday use: You can leave the clinic immediately after the treatment.

How does Sculptra® work?

The effect occurs in two phases:

1. Instant effect: Immediately after the injection, an initial filling effect is visible; however, this is due to the water contained in the solution—this effect subsides after a few days.

2. Long-term effect: In the following weeks, the actual mechanism of action begins – the Stimulation of the body's own collagen production. This biological process leads to a sustainable volume building over a period of 8–12 weeks.

How long do the results last?

The treatment result develops over several weeks and usually lasts 1 to 2 years – significantly longer than with classic fillers. Touch-up treatments are possible according to individual needs.

Sculptra® is generally very well tolerated. Possible, mostly temporary reactions are:

• mild swelling or redness at the injection site
