Sculptra Facial Rejuvenation Marylebone

Sculptra offers an advanced, non-surgical approach to anti-ageing and facial rejuvenation by working naturally with your skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment designed to gradually restore lost facial volume and improve skin quality over time.

At our Marylebone clinic in London’s medical district, Sculptra is expertly used to treat facial volume loss, enhance skin texture, and support long-term collagen production. This innovative treatment helps achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results for patients seeking subtle yet effective facial rejuvenation.

As the skin ages, collagen production naturally declines, leading to skin laxity, deep wrinkles, uneven texture, and age-related volume loss. Sculptra works within the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating your body’s own collagen production to restore structure, firmness, and facial volume in a gradual, long-lasting way.

What is Sculptra ? / How does it work

Although Sculptra is an injectable treatment, it works very differently from traditional dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are designed to provide instant volume by physically filling targeted areas of the face. While this delivers immediate results, it does not address underlying collagen loss or support long-term skin rejuvenation.

In contrast, Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic substance that works by stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes. Rather than acting as a conventional filler, Sculptra triggers collagen production within the deeper layers of the skin.

As the PLLA particles are gradually absorbed by the body, new collagen is produced, helping to restore facial volume, improve skin firmness, and enhance overall skin quality. Results develop progressively over several weeks, creating subtle, natural-looking facial rejuvenation that continues to improve and can last significantly longer than traditional dermal fillers.
