SCULPTRA
Sculptra is an advanced injectable treatment by Galderma that works by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production to gradually restore volume, improve firmness, and enhance overall skin quality.

What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), designed to rebuild the skin’s underlying structure. It works deep within the skin to encourage the production of collagen and elastin, helping to restore lost volume and improve skin integrity.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Why Sculptra is the Ideal Treatment for GLP-1 Weight Loss Patients
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable designed to support the skin through the changes that come with significant or rapid weight loss, including those using GLP-1 medications. As fat volume reduces, the face can appear hollow, less firm, or prematurely aged.
Sculptra works by gradually rebuilding your skin’s natural collagen, restoring structure, improving firmness, and enhancing overall skin quality from within. Rather than creating instant volume, it delivers subtle, progressive results that look natural and in harmony with your changing features.
This makes it an ideal treatment at any stage of a weight loss journey. Whether you’re beginning to notice volume loss, are mid-transformation, or want to maintain skin quality and facial balance long-term.
How does it work?
As we age, collagen levels decline, leading to volume loss, laxity, and wrinkles. Sculptra works by activating your body’s natural regenerative processes, gradually rebuilding collagen and strengthening the skin’s foundation.
Results appear progressively over several weeks, creating a soft, natural enhancement rather than an instant change.
