Is the result immediate?
No. The intended improvement develops gradually as the body produces collagen following treatment.
Sculptra · Burbage
Gradual change,
beautifully understated.
A collagen-stimulating injectable treatment for suitable patients seeking progressive support rather than an immediate, obvious transformation.
Book a consultationAbout Sculptra
Designed to work gradually
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid and is used to stimulate the body’s own collagen response. Unlike treatments intended to create immediate contour, changes develop progressively after treatment.
It may be considered where broader facial support or improvement in the appearance of skin laxity is the objective. It is not appropriate for every area or every patient.
Your plan may include
- A detailed facial and medical assessment
- A planned course of appointments
- Progress photographs with consent
- Specific massage and aftercare guidance
- Review of gradual changes over time
Expectations
Patience is part of the process
There can be immediate fullness from treatment fluid, but this settles. The intended changes develop later as collagen production responds, and individual outcomes vary. Results can last for up to two years, although their duration varies between individuals.
Risks and aftercare
Swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising can occur. Katie will discuss risks, alternatives and the importance of following aftercare before treatment.
A consultation is the right place to decide whether Sculptra or another approach better fits your needs.
