For a youthful look that lasts

Do you ever feel that your face is losing volume and ageing you faster than you’d like? Do you want to take back a few years and get a long-lasting natural and youthful look? Sculptra could be ideal for you.

This non-invasive treatment smoothes out deep folds and wrinkles and restores lost volume, giving the skin back some of the natural elasticity and contouring that ageing takes away. Unlike surgical options such as facial implants, it delivers great results without the pain and risk of going under the knife.

Sculptra is clinically proven to last for up to three years, after which this unique substance is naturally broken down by the body. Successfully used in medicine for more than 25 years, Sculptra works by naturally stimulating collagen. This non-invasive procedure is carried out on stages, gradually and naturally rejuvenating the face and plumping areas of sagging skin.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a collagen stimulant and the ideal solution for people considering non-surgical facial rejuvenation. It provides gradual, natural-looking results through non invasive procedures.
Unlike common temporary fillers, Sculptra reduces wrinkles and creases over the long-term. Permanent implants remain for many years so are unable to accommodate continued changes in appearance that occur with age.

How does the treatment work?

The main ingredient of Sculptra™, poly-L-lactic acid, has been used successfully in surgical procedure for more than 25 years and over 150000 patients have been treated world-wide since 1999. Sculptra ™ has been specially developed to repair contour defects in the face. As it is immunology inert, no allergy tests are necessary before beginning the treatment.

Sculptra™ is an injectable treatment that works in the lower layers of the skin by stimulating the build up of the body’s own collagen to smooth out lines and wrinkles and firm the treated areas. Its volumising effect also restores lost facial volume, resulting in a fuller, younger-looking face.

Sculptra is long-lasting, biocompatible and biodegradable.

Which areas can be treated?

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

Does the treatment hurt?

As with all injections, you may feel some discomfort. It may be that you notice a brief burning sensation at the injection site. A topical anaesthetic will be applied to the area being treated prior to the procedure.

Is it safe?

Sculptra is immunology inert, so there is no dangers of allergic reactions.

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment takes approximately 45 minutes.

How many treatments will I need?

Generally, 2 to 3 treatments may be necessary to obtain the required results.

However, unlike other treatments which require frequent top-up sessions, Sculptra delivers results which last up to 3 years.

How soon will I see results?

Sculptra takes time to work and results should be noticeable after approximately 6 weeks. The number of necessary injections depends on many factors. After the first treatment, your practitioner will recommend whether you need any subsequent treatments and if so how many.

How long will the effects last?

Clinical studies have shown that the aesthetic improvements obtained with Sculptra have persisted for up to 3 years in many patients. Results can differ depending on age, wrinkling, lifestyle and other individual factors.

Are there any side effects?

The most common side effect with the use of Sculptra includes injection-related side effects at the site of injection such as bleeding, tenderness or pain, redness, bruising, or swelling. These effects generally subside in few days.

Is there any downtime?

No. Your Healthcare Professional will give you special aftercare instructions. These include massaging the treated areas of your face in the first few days after the treatment. All you need is a few minutes twice a day.

How much does it cost?

Sculptra treatments start from £450. However, the exact cost depends on many factors and we can only confirm the cost after your free consultation with our medical team.

Who performs the treatment?

Sharon Brown is one of the country leading experts in administering Sculptra.

She is also one of only two nurses on the advisory panel of Sanofi – Aventis which distribute Sculptra in the UK and is their designated trainer both within the NHS and Private Sector.

Sharon’s interest in Sculptra started in 2003 when she was asked by the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to set up a nurse-led service to correct facial lipoatrophy (loss of volume) in HIV patients..

Since then Sharon has trained and supervised nurses in clinics all over the UK.

Sharon practises at The Private Clinic using Sculptra in aesthetic and anti-ageing treatments for the reducing of facial lines and wrinkles and for adding lost volume to give clients a natural looking, fuller face.

“For me, aesthetic treatment means working with the face to achieve a natural contouring. The consultation with the patient prior to treatment is of utmost importance to achieve the desired results”.
