We’re always delighted to receive praise from satisfied patients after they visit our clinic, and one recent message from a visitor in particular amazed our team. The patient had undergone a biostimulants treatment at VBeauty Spa, and said that they “didn’t recognize” themselves six months later.

This is enough time for the biostimulants to take full effect and create a visible transformation. Their skin looked tighter and more youthful than it did before, taking years off their appearance.

But what are biostimulants, and how does Sculptra (one of the most popular options) work?

Below, we’ll explain all you need to know about Sculptra and its benefits to help you understand whether it’s the right skin treatment for you.

What are Biostimulants?

Biostimulants are substances injected into the skin to stimulate specific natural biological functions. The goal is to revitalize the patient’s appearance and help them achieve their aesthetic goals without invasive surgery.

Biostimulants have the power to create a more youthful, healthier look through organic processes. As a result, patients may feel more comfortable trying this than a more invasive or complex treatment.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a form of dermal filler injected into one or more areas of the face to create a visible improvement in the skin. However, Sculptra isn’t just limited to facial treatments — it can be injected into the body to combat common signs of aging. Possible injection sites include:

• Knees
• Elbows
• Buttocks
• Décolleté

Regardless of the sites chosen, Sculptra is injected into the skin’s deeper layers via a cannula or microneedle. It’s crucial that the fillers penetrate the tissue at an adequate depth to work most effectively.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra’s active ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which promotes collagen production and provides your skin with a stronger, more powerful support structure. It doesn’t just restore lost volume by filling in sunken skin and wrinkles — it stimulates the body’s own functions to do this instead.

What Benefits Does Sculptra Offer?

Improve Your Skin Naturally from the Inside Out

How does Sculptra revitalize your skin from the inside? It’s simple. Sculptra stimulates production of collagen — a crucial protein that occurs naturally in the body. Collagen gives skin its structure, firmness, and youthful volume.

However, the human body’s collagen levels start to decrease organically with age. Over time, this can have a significant impact on your appearance: skin will start to sag more noticeably, while wrinkles and fine lines will become more prominent.

Fortunately, Sculptra can help tighten your skin and rebuild its structure to reduce these common signs of aging. And because it does this through the body’s own collagen-production process, Sculptra revitalizes your skin from the inside out in a natural way.

New-generation PLLA treatments like Juvelook Eyes, Juvelook Volume, Gana X, Gana V, and Lanluma are gaining attention for their ability to stimulate collagen and restore skin volume. These formulations target different areas of the face and body, offering a tailored approach to skin rejuvenation. Juvelook Eyes is especially popular for treating delicate under-eye skin, while Gana X and Gana V are favored for lifting and volume in the cheeks and jawline. Lanluma stands out for its versatility and effectiveness in both facial and body contouring, making it a powerful option for those looking to enhance definition. Clients who want precise, customizable results often turn to these options to match their personal goals. With consistent use, they can help maintain a youthful, refreshed look without a dramatic change in facial structure.

Long-lasting Results

When you undergo any treatment to revitalize and improve your appearance, you want to know that it’ll be worth it. After all, researching your options, visiting a clinic, and paying for the procedure is a big commitment. The longer the results last, the more satisfied you’re likely to feel with the overall experience.

Sculptra is formulated to create long-lasting results, and it may keep your skin looking more youthful for two or more years. However, that can vary from patient to patient, depending on how the body responds to the treatment and how quickly it breaks the fillers down.

Minimal Side Effects

One of the biggest concerns you may have ahead of any cosmetic treatment is the potential side effects. Understanding the possible outcomes is essential to prepare properly, especially if they could lead to a visible change in your appearance.

Some treatments can lead to frustrating side effects, but that’s generally not the case with Sculptra. Any side effects that occur tend to be small and undisruptive, such as swelling or redness in the treated area.

As a result, downtime after Sculptra is minimal too. In many cases, patients feel happy to continue with the rest of their day — going back to the office, seeing friends, or enjoying a bite to eat.

If you notice any minor swelling or redness, don’t worry: that should clear up within 24 – 48 hours. We’re here to offer advice and assistance after your treatment too. If you have any questions or concerns, just get in touch.

To enhance your Sculptra results, we can also incorporate NCTF 135. This advanced skin booster supports hydration and elasticity, working in synergy with collagen stimulators to brighten and smooth your skin even faster. NCTF 135 delivers over 50 active ingredients directly into the skin, including vitamins, amino acids, and minerals that support cellular health. When paired with Sculptra, it helps speed up visible results while improving overall skin tone and glow. The result is a more even, luminous complexion with reduced dullness and dryness. This combination is ideal for clients who want faster results and a more radiant finish.

How Long Does the Sculptra Treatment Take?

Sculptra treatments typically last around 30 minutes, though it depends on the number of treatment areas. The more injection sites, the longer your visit will last.

Treatments are tailored to suit your aesthetic goals and requirements, which will determine the length of your session. After discussing your needs and expectations during your consultation, I’ll be able to provide you with an accurate time estimation.

When Will I Start to See Results?

Sculptra won’t transform your appearance overnight. Instead, you’ll start to notice the results around three to six months after treatment.

Visible improvements will continue in subsequent months, as the skin will gradually become more youthful, plumper, and healthier looking. As a biostimulant, Sculptra is rebuilding collagen levels within the body, which understandably takes time.

What to Do After Your Sculptra Treatment

Proper aftercare is important for getting the most out of your Sculptra injections. Follow these steps to help your fillers take effect:

• Massage the treatment area five times a day, for five minutes at a time, for the first five days after the injections.

• Stay upright for three to four hours immediately after treatment.

• Avoid vigorous exercise for the first three or four post-treatment hours.

• Avoid makeup and cosmetic treatments for at least 24 hours.

• Keep your head propped up while sleeping to reduce any swelling that occurs.

We’ll provide you with more personalized aftercare advice following your treatment.
