Schedule appointmentWith age, the skin loses volume and elasticity. Fine lines and wrinkles appear, and the face looks tired and less firm. Sculptra® treatment uses the power of the body's own collagen production to regenerate the skin from within and restore its youthful, fresh appearance—without any artificial effects.
Dr. Rosalia LuketinaOver the years, many people notice that their face loses volume, contours become less defined, and fine wrinkles appear. Sculptra® was developed to address precisely this issue: as a biostimulating injection that not only fills in, but also strengthens the skin structure in the long term. The active ingredient poly-L-lactic acid specifically stimulates the body’s own collagen production—a natural reaction that results in smoother, firmer skin over several weeks. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® does not work immediately by adding volume, but rather builds up the skin’s quality from within. The result is a subtle, long-lasting improvement that makes the face appear fresher and more rested—without any artificial look.
After treatment with Sculptra®, the appearance of the skin can improve step by step. Through the targeted stimulation of collagen production, the skin gains elasticity and appears smoother and more even. Wrinkles and lines can be gradually reduced, and the facial contours appear more defined. Unlike traditional fillers, the effect develops gradually—but is therefore particularly natural. The face does not appear altered, but rather like a regenerated, refreshed version of itself. With each passing week, the skin structure becomes more robust, elastic, and vital. This subtle, gradual build-up ensures long-lasting results that blend harmoniously into the overall appearance.
Before treatment, we will discuss your wishes and analyze the areas to be treated. You should refrain from consuming alcohol and nicotine for a few days beforehand. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, please consult your doctor beforehand to avoid bruising.
After thorough cleansing, Sculptra® is injected into specific areas of the skin using fine needles. The treatment takes around 30 to 45 minutes. An anesthetic cream can be applied beforehand if desired. The product is distributed evenly to ensure gentle stimulation.
Slight swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection sites. These usually subside within a few days. During the first 24 hours, you should avoid physical exertion, direct sunlight, saunas, and makeup. A short lymphatic massage of the treated areas is recommended to support the effect.
The skin should be cared for particularly gently in the days following the treatment. Use mild cleansing products and rich skincare to support the regeneration process. For optimal results, two to three treatments at intervals of several weeks are usually necessary. A refresher treatment may be beneficial after around 12 to 24 months.

We look forward to hearing from you! Feel free to ask us anything before you decide!
The treatment is generally well tolerated. Thanks to the fine needle and local anesthesia if desired, pain is minimal. Many patients report only a slight feeling of pressure or tension during the injection.
The building process starts after a few weeks and improves over two to four months. The first visible effects often appear after about 8 weeks. The results can last up to two years, depending on skin type and lifestyle.
Typical reactions include redness, slight swelling, or small bruises at the injection sites. These usually subside within a few days. Since Sculptra® is biocompatible, allergic reactions are rare.
The treatment is aimed at women and men who want long-term improvement in their skin structure and facial contours. In the case of acute skin conditions or inflammatory processes, a doctor should be consulted beforehand.
Depending on the initial condition, two to three sessions at intervals of four to six weeks are ideal. A refresher treatment can be carried out after one to two years to maintain the results permanently.
Yes, Sculptra® is ideal for use in combination with other treatments such as plasma therapy, skin boosters, or B-toxin. This allows for even more targeted improvement of the skin’s appearance and facial contours.
