in amsterdam
Looking to firm your skin in a natural, gradual and long-lasting way? Sculptra is one of the most effective collagen-stimulating treatments around. It’s made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a powerful biostimulator that encourages your skin to keep producing new collagen for months.
The result? A firmer, fuller and more youthful skin structure, without an overfilled look.
Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
what is sculptra?
Sculptra is a biostimulating filler that doesn’t add instant volume. Instead, it helps your skin produce its own collagen, which is what sets it apart from hyaluronic acid fillers.
What makes Sculptra so special:
- stimulates intensive collagen production
- ideal for volume loss and skin laxity
- a natural, gradual result
- long-lasting effect: 2–3 years
- no “filled” look
Sculptra can be used on the face, jawline, temples, cheeks, neck and body (arms, abdomen, buttocks).
how does a sculptra treatment work?
Using small injections, Sculptra is placed in the deeper layers of your skin. There, PLLA activates the fibroblasts, the cells responsible for making collagen. Over the following weeks and months, your skin becomes:
- firmer
- fuller
- tighter
- more elastic
The treatment takes 20–30 minutes.
We usually recommend a course of:
- 2–3 sessions
- with 4–6 weeks between each treatment
The effect builds gradually. You won’t suddenly look ‘done’, just a little fresher and firmer each time.
what can you expect after the treatment?
Straight after your treatment:
- mild swelling
- a temporarily fuller effect (this settles within days)
- possibly a small bruise
Then the real work begins:
- after 4 weeks: first visible firming
- after 8 weeks: fuller, tighter skin
- after 12 weeks: maximum collagen stimulation
The result lasts 2 to 3 years, making it one of the longest-lasting injectables available.
who is sculptra suitable for?
Sculptra is ideal for men and women who:
- are experiencing volume loss
- notice laxity in the cheeks, jawline or neck
- have thin, lax skin
- want a natural result without a filler look
- are looking for long-term skin improvement
- are looking for an alternative to classic fillers
It works beautifully on the body too, for example on the arms, abdomen or buttocks when the skin has lost firmness.
