Aging causes significant changes in our skin. Collagen and elastin production slows down, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, wrinkles and volume loss become apparent. The world of aesthetics constantly offers new and effective solutions to combat these changes. One of these solutions is Sculptra . Developed by Galderma, Sculptra is a powerful biostimulator that stimulates the production of collagen, the skin's own source of youth, unlike traditional dermal fillers. As AuraDent Aesthetic Clinic, we bring the natural and long-term rejuvenation potential offered by Sculptra to our patients.

What is Sculptra and How to Use It?

Sculptra is an injectable aesthetic treatment whose main ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). PLLA is a synthetic substance that is biocompatible with the body and completely decomposes over time. Unlike adding volume instantly like traditional fillers, when Sculptra is injected under the skin, its microparticles trigger a reaction in the surrounding tissue, stimulating natural collagen synthesis . This process occurs over time and strengthens the skin’s own structure, improving its quality. It is usually used to correct volume loss in the face, correct deep wrinkles and folds (e.g. nasolabial folds), and increase overall skin firmness.

When is Sculptra Treatment a Good Option?

Sculptra treatment may be considered when signs of aging such as sagging, deepening wrinkles, and volume loss in the cheeks or temples become apparent over time. It is also an effective solution for those who feel a general decline in skin quality and desire a tighter, more elastic, and more radiant skin appearance. Sculptra is ideal for individuals who want to regain structural support and volume in the face, but prefer natural and gradual results.

How is Sculptra Applied?

Sculptra application is performed by our expert doctors in a clinical environment. After determining the area to be treated, the area is numbed with local anesthetic creams. Sculptra is injected under the skin, usually into deeper layers, with the help of thin needles or cannulas. The application time varies depending on the width of the area to be treated, but usually lasts 30 - 60 minutes. After the procedure, slight swelling, redness or bruising may occur, but these usually go away on their own within a few days.

Regions with Best Results

Sculptra provides excellent results especially in areas where volume loss is evident and structural support is reduced. These areas are mainly:

➡️ Cheeks: To add volume to sunken cheeks and define facial features.
➡️ Temples: Filling the hollows in the temples to provide a more youthful and rested appearance.
➡️ Nasolabial Folds (Lines from the side of the nose to the corner of the lips): Softening these deepening lines.
➡️ Marionette Lines (Lines from the corner of the lip to the chin): To reduce the appearance of sagging.
➡️ Jaw Line and Chin Tip: To define the jaw line and give the chin tip a more aesthetic shape.

It can also be used to improve skin quality in areas such as the neck, décolleté and hands. However, Sculptra is generally not preferred for sensitive and mobile areas such as the lips and eye area.

Recommended Patient Type and Profile

Sculptra treatment is suitable for people who have significant volume loss, reduced elasticity and moderate to severe wrinkles on their face, usually from the age of 30 onwards. It is for patients who prefer natural and gradual results, do not want surgical intervention and are aware that the effects of the treatment will become apparent over time. Anyone who is in good general health and has no known allergy to Sculptra ingredients can be a candidate for the treatment. Your suitability for the treatment is determined after a detailed assessment by our specialist doctors at AuraDent Aesthetic Clinic.

Sculptra's Biostimulatory Feature: Why Is It Different?

The most important feature that distinguishes Sculptra from traditional dermal fillers is that it is a "biostimulator". Hyaluronic acid-based fillers work by directly adding volume to the area where they are injected. Sculptra, on the other hand, activates the body's own collagen production mechanism in the area where it is injected. PLLA microparticles stimulate fibroblast cells under the skin, encouraging the synthesis of new collagen fibers. In this way, the skin repairs and renews itself. The results appear gradually, providing a more natural and aesthetic appearance.

Duration of Permanence and Number of Treatments

The results of Sculptra treatment are not permanent, but they are quite long-lasting compared to many other fillers. Because it takes time to stimulate collagen production, results usually start to become visible after a few weeks. A course of 2 to 4 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is usually recommended for optimal results. The results can last for 2 years or even longer , depending on the person's lifestyle, age and skin characteristics. Its long-term effectiveness makes Sculptra an economical and practical option.

Risk Factors and Side Effects

As with all aesthetic treatments, Sculptra ^® has potential side effects. The most common side effects include mild swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness or itching at the injection site. These symptoms usually disappear on their own within a few days, while less common side effects include the formation of small, palpable nodules at the injection site. To minimize these risks, it is important that the treatment is performed by an experienced and qualified physician. Additionally, following the recommended massage protocol after treatment helps reduce the risk of nodule formation.

Extremely hot baths, saunas, Turkish baths and exposure to intense sunlight should be avoided. Our experts also recommend that you stay away from heavy exercise for a while.
