Sculptra for Body Areas

At Skin Medical, we offer Sculptra for body areas as an advanced collagen-stimulating treatment designed to restore volume, improve skin texture and subtly enhance contours.

At Skin Medical, under the expert guidance of Dr Sabika Karim, we offer Sculptra for body areas, designed to stimulate your own natural collagen production to improve skin quality, restore volume and support the body as it changes over time.

What is Sculptra for Body Areas?

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible collagen stimulator that encourages your skin to rebuild its internal structure.

When used in body areas, Sculptra helps to:

  • Improve volume and projection

  • Smooth hip dips

  • Enhance contour

  • Improve skin laxity

  • Refine crepey or thinning skin

Rather than creating instant dramatic change, Sculptra delivers gradual enhancement as collagen develops over several weeks.

Sculptra Technology

Sculptra’s core technology is based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable synthetic substance that has been used in medical applications for decades, including in dissolvable stitches and soft tissue implants. PLLA works by gradually stimulating collagen production, which is essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and structure.

As we age, our skin loses collagen as its capacity to produce it naturally decreases. This leads to the more pronounced formation of wrinkles and sagging skin. Traditional fillers, injecting substances like Hyaluronic Acid, often provide immediate but short-term results by adding volume to plump up an area. In contrast, Sculptra’s unique mechanism of action gradually restores facial volume and improves skin texture over time, ensuring more natural results.

How Does Sculptra Work on the Body?

Following a detailed consultation and treatment plan, Sculptra is carefully injected into the targeted body area using techniques suitable for larger surface zones.

After treatment:

  • Collagen production increases

  • Skin becomes firmer and more supported

  • Volume improves gradually

  • Contours appear smoother and more balanced

Results typically begin to show within 6–12 weeks and can last up to two years or longer, depending on individual collagen response and maintenance.

Sculptra Product Information

Sculptra is found as a fine powder, which is then reconstituted with sterile water by the healthcare provider before injection. This process allows the PLLA microparticles to be evenly distributed, which means a more consistent collagen stimulation throughout the treated area. The treatment is typically administered through a series of injections into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer of the skin.
