Sculptra: The Secret to Naturally Restoring Volume and Combating Sagging Skin

Discover our best kept secret at Nicola Poskitt Medical Aesthetics

Ageing is something we all experience — but the way it shows up on the skin can look very different from person to person. For many, the early signs begin in the 30s and 40s, with sagging, fine lines, and a gradual loss of facial volume.

For women, changes can become even more noticeable during menopause. Hormonal shifts can accelerate collagen breakdown, affecting skin firmness, elasticity, and overall facial structure. While anti-ageing creams and serums can support the surface of the skin, they can’t rebuild the deeper framework that keeps the face lifted and supported.

That’s where Sculptra comes in.

Sculptra is a unique injectable treatment designed to stimulate your body’s own collagen production, helping to restore volume and improve skin strength gradually — for results that look refreshed, not “filled.”

In this article, we’ll explore what Sculptra is, how it works, who it’s best suited for, and why it’s becoming one of the most effective options for natural, long-term rejuvenation.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is not a typical dermal filler.

Rather than simply “filling” lines and creases, Sculptra works by encouraging your body to rebuild collagen — the protein responsible for skin firmness and support. Its active ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that has been safely used in medicine for decades.

Once injected, Sculptra stimulates collagen production gradually over time, leading to improvements in:

• volume and facial structure
• skin firmness and elasticity
• fine lines and textural quality

Typical timeline:

• 6 weeks: subtle lift begins
• 12 weeks: visible improvement
• 6 months: best results
• Results develop subtly over several weeks to months.

Best areas to treat:

✔ cheeks
✔ temples
✔ jawline
✔ lower face support
✔ skin laxity
