Sculptra

Restore your skin’s youthful volume naturally.

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that helps reduce facial lines and wrinkles by stimulating natural collagen production. Its active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), works beneath the skin’s surface to gradually restore facial volume and improve skin texture.

The science behind Sculptra

Sculptra works by delivering PLLA to the dermal layer, where it serves as a collagen stimulator. Collagen is a crucial protein that provides skin with structure and elasticity, but its production declines as we age. This decrease can lead to visible wrinkles and loss of skin firmness. By promoting new collagen synthesis, Sculptra supports the skin’s foundational structure, leading to firmer and smoother skin over time.

What can Sculptra Treat?

NU.U Clinic provides Sculptra treatments designed to target various aesthetic concerns. Each patient receives a personalised consultation to evaluate their specific needs and treatment goals.

Facial Wrinkles and Folds

Sculptra can help smooth deeper lines, such as nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin), which often become more noticeable with age.

Volume Loss

Ideal for individuals who have experienced facial fat loss, Sculptra helps restore volume in hollow or sunken areas, particularly in the cheeks and temples, resulting in a fuller, balanced facial contour.

Skin Laxity

Sculptra’s collagen-stimulating properties support skin firmness and structure, which can reduce mild sagging and improve overall skin tightness, promoting a more youthful appearance.

Chin and Jawline Definition

For those seeking subtle contouring, Sculptra can enhance definition in the chin and jawline by building collagen, offering a more refined profile over time.

Benefits of Sculptra

Natural-Looking Results

Sculptra enhances appearance gradually, allowing subtle improvements over time rather than sudden changes.

Lasting Results

Sculptra results can remain visible for up to two years as collagen production gradually increases.

Minimally Invasive Treatment

As a non-surgical procedure, Sculptra involves minimal downtime, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.

Customisable

Sculptra treatments can be tailored to address specific areas and desired outcomes, providing a personalised approach to facial rejuvenation.

Price and Number of Treatments Needed

The number of Sculptra sessions needed varies based on individual goals and the areas being treated. Generally, three to four sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Each session helps build collagen gradually, enhancing facial volume and firmness over time.

In Singapore, Sculptra typically costs between $1,000 and $1,500 per vial, though the exact price depends on the clinic and the treatment plan. For a full treatment course, costs may range from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on the number of vials required to achieve the desired outcome.

A consultation with a qualified practitioner will provide a personalised plan and precise pricing based on your unique needs and goals.
