In the world of aesthetics, more people are moving away from “instant but obvious” results and looking for subtle, natural improvements that last. That’s where Sculptra comes in – a treatment designed to rebuild your skin’s structure from the inside out. At Dr Alexa | Beauty Digger Clinic in Mayfair, we use Sculptra to restore lost volume, improve skin texture, and help you age beautifully and confidently.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable treatment made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable material that has been used in medicine for decades. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that work by placing a gel directly under the skin for instant plumping, Sculptra works differently:
-
It stimulates your body’s own collagen production
-
It gradually restores volume over a series of sessions
-
It improves skin texture and firmness from within
This means you won’t walk out of the clinic looking drastically different overnight – instead, your results develop over time, giving you a refreshed and youthful look that’s undetectably natural.
How Does PLLA Work?
Collagen is the protein that gives your skin its structure, elasticity, and smoothness. From our mid-20s onwards, we naturally lose about 1% of our collagen each year, which leads to sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume.
When injected, Sculptra acts as a collagen stimulator. The PLLA particles encourage your skin to produce new collagen, which rebuilds the underlying structure and improves skin quality over the following weeks and months.
Most clients see the best results after 2–3 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart. The improvements can last two years or more, making this treatment one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available.
Who Can Benefit from Sculptra?
Sculptra is suitable for both men and women who want a natural and progressive rejuvenation. You may be a great candidate if you:
-
Notice sunken cheeks or hollow temples
-
Have deep folds such as nasolabial lines or marionette lines
-
Want to tighten and smooth skin on the face, neck, décolletage, or body
-
Are looking for a non-surgical butt lift or hip dip correction
-
Prefer a treatment that lasts longer than hyaluronic acid fillers
-
Want a subtle transformation rather than a sudden change
What Areas Can Be Treated?
At Dr Alexa | Beauty Digger Clinic, we use Sculptra for multiple areas, including:
-
Face: Cheeks, temples, jawline, chin, nasolabial folds, marionette lines
-
Neck & Décolletage: Smoothing fine lines, improving skin quality
-
Body: Buttocks (Sculptra “butt lift”), hip dips, arms, thighs, knees
-
Hands: Restoring lost volume and rejuvenating the skin
What Can Sculptra Improve?
Sculptra doesn’t just “fill” lines — it works on the overall structure and health of your skin. Improvements include:
-
Restoring lost facial volume
-
Lifting and contouring the face naturally
-
Improving skin elasticity and hydration
-
Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds
-
Enhancing body curves (especially in the buttocks)
-
Creating a more youthful, firmer skin texture
Why is Sculptra Superior to Other Products?
While hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are fantastic for instant results in targeted areas, they have limitations: they typically last 6–12 months and don’t significantly improve skin quality in the long term.
PLLA, however, offers:
-
Longer-lasting results – up to 24 months or more.
-
Natural progression – changes appear gradually, avoiding the “overdone” look.
-
Collagen stimulation – improves skin quality, firmness, and thickness.
-
Versatility – treats both facial and body concerns.
-
Cost-effectiveness over time – fewer top-up sessions compared to fillers.
Risks and Safety Considerations
Like all injectable treatments, Sculptra has potential but minimal risks when performed by an expert. These can include:
-
Temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness
-
Mild bruising at injection sites
-
Small lumps under the skin (usually temporary and preventable with correct massage and technique)
At Dr Alexa | Beauty Digger Clinic, patient safety is our number one priority. Dr. Alexa uses advanced anatomical knowledge and the highest-quality techniques to minimise risks and ensure consistently excellent results.
