Sculptra® (Poly-L-Lactic Acid or PLLA) is a long-lasting dermal filler that stimulates natural collagen production for gradual, natural-looking volume restoration. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Sculptra works from within to improve skin texture and fullness over time.
What Does Sculptra Treat?
Deep facial wrinkles & folds (nasolabial folds, marionette lines)
Volume loss in cheeks & temples (age-related hollowing)
Sagging jawline & chin (improves contour)
Buttock augmentation (non-surgical “Brazilian Butt Lift” alternative)
Hand rejuvenation (reduces bony, aged appearance)
Benefits of Sculptra Fillers in Dubai
Sculptra fillers are an advanced anti-aging treatment designed to restore lost facial volume and stimulate natural collagen production for long-lasting, youthful results. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate but temporary effects, Sculptra works gradually to improve skin texture, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours over time. This makes it an ideal choice for patients in Dubai who want subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation with results that can last up to two years or more.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Not an instant filler – Stimulates your own collagen over weeks.
Gradual results (improves over 3–6 months).
Lasts 2+ years (longer than HA fillers like Juvederm/Restylane).
Minimal downtime (small lumps possible; massaging helps).

| Feature | Sculptra | HA Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Stimulates collagen | Instantly adds volume |
| Results Time | Gradual (3-6 months) | Immediate |
| Longevity | 2+ years | 6–18 months |
| Best For | Long-term volume loss | Quick fixes, lip/cheek plumping |
| Downtime | Mild swelling, lumps | Bruising, swelling |
The Sculptra Treatment Process
