Collagen loss is the reason your face can look softer, even when you haven’t “lost volume.”
From our mid-20s, we lose around 1% of collagen every year.
By our mid-40s, that can mean up to 25% reduction.
Collagen is what gives skin its structure, firmness and support.
When it declines, the skin can look thinner.
Less defined.
Less supported.
And sometimes adding more filler isn’t the answer.
Sculptra works differently.
It is a collagen biostimulator, meaning it stimulates your own fibroblasts to produce new Type I collagen over time.
Clinical studies have demonstrated around a 66% increase in Type I collagen intensity 3 months after treatment.
Results develop gradually over several months and can last 2+ years.
This makes it particularly beneficial for:
• Skin thinning and laxity
• Subtle structural softening
• Facial changes following significant weight loss
• Patients wanting gradual, natural improvement
It is not instant.
It is not a one-appointment fix.
And it is not suitable for everyone.
But in the right patient, with the right plan, it can restore structure in a very natural way.
Sculptra is now available in clinic and currently offered at an introductory rate.
If you’d like to discuss whether this is appropriate for you, message the clinic or ask at your next consultation.
