Sculptra®
Experience Long-Lasting, Natural Results with Sculptra®
Sculptra®: An Introduction
Sculptra® is a facial injectable treatment available in Singapore. It is intended to:
☑ Restore facial volume
☑ Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
☑ Improve skin texture
☑ Firms and lifts skin
☑ Stimulates natural collagen production
☑ Long-lasting results (up to 2 years)
For those looking for a natural approach to facial rejuvenation, Sculptra® is a great option because it provides gradual, long-lasting results.
What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance.
It works by stimulating the skin’s collagen production, helping to restore the skin’s inner structure and rebuilds facial volume over time. Sculptra® is particularly effective for those who want a subtle, natural-looking enhancement without the need for surgery.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Sculptra® works differently from traditional fillers. Sculptra® improves the appearance of the skin over several months by encouraging the body to produce more collagen.
- Injection: The Sculptra® solution is injected into the deep dermis layer of the skin, where it starts to stimulate collagen production.
- Collagen Stimulation: As the PLLA microparticles are absorbed by the body, they promote the formation of new collagen, which helps to restore facial volume and improve skin texture.
- Gradual Results: Over time, as collagen levels increase, you will notice a smoother, fuller, and more youthful appearance.
Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps maintain your skin’s shape and structure. The skin needs collagen to resist signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. By age 40, most of us have lost up to 20% of our natural collagen.
Sculptra helps stimulate natural collagen production. The poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) in Sculptra forms a framework that helps support and maintain the skin’s inner structure, which may lead to a more youthful-looking appearance.

Sculptra® is highly effective for treating various signs of ageing and facial volume loss. At M-Aesthetic Clinic in Singapore, we use Sculptra® to address the following concerns:
