Stimulates collagen production for youthful skin

Sculptra®

Over the years, our skin is affected by the passage of time, environmental factors, and stress, leading to a loss of elasticity, the formation of wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Sculptra® is an advanced method for deep wrinkle treatment, stimulating the body’s own collagen production. This helps to plump sunken areas, smooth wrinkles, and restore a youthful appearance to the skin.

What is wrinkle treatment with Sculptra®?

Wrinkle treatment with polylactic acid at LIVION in Hamburg

The Sulptra® treatment at LIVION in Hamburg is a wrinkle treatment that uses a polylactic acid-based biostimulator. This stimulates the body's own collagen production in the deep layers of the skin to smooth wrinkles and improve facial contours. In contrast to hyaluronic acid fillers, the plumping effect occurs naturally as the skin regenerates itself.

Skin rejuvenation with Sculptra® at LIVION

In our Hamburg practice, poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra®) is carefully injected using fine needles. The treatment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes, with either localized injections or broader areas being filled. The poly-L-lactic acid stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen, resulting in a natural restoration of volume. Common treatment areas include sunken cheeks, cheekbones, sagging jawline, neck, décolleté, as well as problem areas around the nasolabial folds, mouth, and forehead.

What you should bear in mind after treatment

Aftercare for wrinkle treatment with Sculptra®

After Sculptra®-treatment, the treated areas may be temporarily slightly reddened or swollen. It is important to note that the results are not immediately visible. The formation of collagen and elastin is stimulated by polylactic acid, which encourages the body to produce its own connective tissue. The firming and volumising effect is visible after 8–12 weeks, and the maximum effect is achieved after 3–4 months. The effect lasts for up to 2 years, after which refresh treatments can be carried out.

FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about Sculptra® treatment

What is Sculptra® and how does it work?

Sculptra® is an innovative biostimulator based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that stimulates the body’s own collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional fillers, the plumping effect is not achieved through direct volume, but through natural skin regeneration. The result is a long-lasting improvement in skin structure and a more youthful appearance.

Who is Sculptra® suitable for?

Sculptra® is particularly suitable for individuals with volume loss, sunken facial areas, or sagging skin. Commonly treated areas include hollow cheeks, jawline, forehead, nasolabial folds, neck, and décolleté. This method is ideal for anyone seeking natural facial rejuvenation without adding artificial volume.

How is a Sculptra®-treatment performed?

At LIVION in Hamburg, poly-L-lactic acid is carefully injected into the targeted areas using fine needles. Depending on the area treated, the session takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Mild redness or swelling may occur immediately after treatment but usually resolves quickly. Over the following weeks, the substance stimulates collagen production, gradually improving skin structure.

When will I see results and how long do they last?

Results develop gradually. Initial improvements can be seen after about 8 to 12 weeks, with the full effect visible after 3 to 4 months. Because the process works through deep skin regeneration, the results are particularly long-lasting, typically lasting up to two years. Follow-up treatments can be performed to maintain the effect.

What should I do after a Sculptra®-treatment?

Patients are advised to gently massage the treated areas for five minutes daily for five days to ensure even distribution. Exercise, sauna visits, and sunbathing should be avoided for a few days. Mild swelling or redness is normal and usually subsides quickly. As the effect develops gradually, patience is required for optimal results.

How is Sculptra® different from hyaluronic acid fillers?

Hyaluronic acid works immediately by adding volume to the treated area. Sculptra®, on the other hand, activates the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in a natural and long-lasting tightening effect. Results build up over several weeks and last significantly longer. Sculptra® is especially suitable for patients seeking subtle, deep-acting skin rejuvenation.
