In time your skin loses its full, firm youthful appearance – a result of the natural ageing process. Your skin becomes thinner and can sag, causing wrinkles and deep lines to appear. Fat tissue which maintains the fullness of your face is also lost, causing your face to look thin and narrow and making you look older. Sculptra^® can help by smoothing deep lines and wrinkles and also by returning lost volume to give you a natural-looking fuller face.

What is Sculptra^®?

Sculptra is an injectable treatment that works by stimulating the build up of the body’s own collagen to smooth out lines and wrinkles. Sculptra’s^® volumising effect also restores lost facial volume, resulting in a fuller younger-looking face. The overall effect is a youthful appearance with gradual, natural-looking results.

Suitable areas for Sculptra^®

Sculptra^® is suitable for a number of areas on your face:

• Deep folds between the nose and the mouth (nasolabial folds).
• Folds around the corners of the mouth (marionette lines).
• Sunken cheeks.
• Wrinkling in the cheeks or chin.
• Deep scars.

Why Sculptra^®?

Sculptra^® is a discreet approach which allows a gradual effect to occur. Usually 2 or 3 treatments are required and natural-looking effects should become noticeable after approximately six weeks.

Clinical studies have shown that the results of Sculptra^® can last for more than 3 years, significantly longer than many other injectable treatments.

It is well tolerated with over 17,000 treatments in the UK since 2005 (over 150,000 worldwide since 1999). The main ingredient of Sculptra^® has been used in medicine for over 10 years and is biocompatible and biodegradable.

No allergy testing is required before treatment.

Sculptra^® is sold by Sanofi-Aventis, one of the leading pharmaceutical companies.
