Ageing does not begin when lines appear — it begins years earlier, as collagen production gradually slows.
Collagen decline begins in our mid-to-late twenties, with an estimated 1% loss per year thereafter. By the time visible ageing appears, structural changes are already underway.
Using Sculptra earlier can help:
Maintain facial support
Delay visible sagging
Improve skin density
Support long-term skin health
Reduce the need for more aggressive treatments later
This approach aligns with Skin Medical’s philosophy: prevention over correction.
Procedure time: 30 to 60 minutes
Number of treatments: 3 per session
Back to work: immediate 
Side Effects: swelling, bruising, and redness
Results: 3 months
Duration of Results: 2 years
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.
Sculptra for proactive ageing is often suitable for patients in their late 20s to early 40s who:
Notice early skin laxity
See subtle hollowing around the temples or cheeks
Want to age naturally without obvious aesthetic changes
Prefer gradual, long-term improvements
Value regenerative treatments over temporary fixes
During your consultation, Dr Sabika Karim will assess your facial structure, skin quality and long-term goals before recommending a personalised plan.
Sculptra results are subtle and progressive. Over time, patients often notice:
Firmer, thicker-feeling skin
Improved jawline definition
Softer lines
A more rested, supported appearance
Improved skin glow due to healthier dermal structure
The goal is not to change how you look — but to restore how your skin behaves.
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.
Sculptra for proactive ageing is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment designed to strengthen and maintain skin structure before significant ageing changes occur. It works gradually by stimulating your body’s own collagen production.
Sculptra for proactive ageing is different from dermal fillers. While fillers provide immediate volume, Sculptra works slowly to improve skin quality and structural support. Many patients choose Sculptra when they want subtle, regenerative results.
Many patients consider Sculptra for proactive ageing in their late 20s to 30s when collagen decline begins. However, suitability depends on individual skin quality and goals.
Results from Sculptra for proactive ageing can last up to two years or longer, depending on metabolism and lifestyle factors.
Yes. Sculptra for proactive ageing is known for natural-looking results because it stimulates your own collagen rather than adding artificial volume.
Sculptra for proactive ageing may cause mild swelling or bruising. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
Most patients require 2–3 sessions of Sculptra for proactive ageing, spaced several weeks apart for optimal collagen stimulation.
Sculptra for proactive ageing can help maintain structural support and improve skin density, which may delay visible sagging over time.
