Sculptra is a revolutionary body treatment in the field of aesthetic medicine. Its active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, is used to address cellulite, loss of firmness, and decreased skin elasticity in various areas of the body. Sculptra is also used for buttock augmentation.
This treatment naturally stimulates collagen production, providing a progressive and long-lasting rejuvenating effect. In Geneva, this innovative technique is gaining popularity thanks to its natural results and non-invasive approach.
Sculptra works deep in the dermis by stimulating the skin to produce its own collagen. Unlike treatments that give immediate results, such as hyaluronic acid, its effects become visible gradually. This technique provides a long-lasting improvement in the quality, firmness and thickness of the skin. Poly-L-lactic acid is biodegradable and biocompatible, and it is naturally resorbed by the body, leaving the skin revitalized and younger.
Sculptra is an ideal treatment for various indications related to improving skin quality and body contour. It is particularly effective for :
• Skin laxity : by stimulating collagen production, Sculptra firms loose skin, which becomes tighter and more elastic.
• Cellulite : by improving the quality and thickness of the skin, this treatment visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite on the thighs, buttocks or other areas of the body.
• Buttock augmentation : for patients who want a more sculpted silhouette without surgery, Sculptra Body is a non-invasive solution to restore volume and firmness to the buttocks.
• Improvement of skin quality : Sculptra hydrates and revitalizes the skin, visibly enhancing its radiance and quality.
Sculptra Body is intended for men and women experiencing loss of skin firmness and elasticity due to ageing, weight loss, or genetic factors. It suits patients seeking improvement in cellulite or moderate volume enhancement of the buttocks, and those looking for a natural and gradual solution to enhance the appearance of their skin.
However, Sculptra Body is not recommended for :
• Patients with autoimmune diseases.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
• Individuals allergic to PLLA or any of the product’s components.
• Patients with a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring.
Unfortunately, not all patients are eligible for Sculptra body injections. If the skin is too thin or there is an almost absent subcutaneous fat layer, the risk of nodule formation is significant, and Dr. Romano will not perform the procedure.
Sculptra injected into the body is an ideal solution for patients seeking to enhance their skin’s appearance without undergoing surgery.
The main benefits include :
• Natural collagen stimulation : collagen is a key protein responsible for skin firmness and suppleness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to skin laxity. Sculptra reactivates this process to restore a more youthful look.
• Progressive and long-lasting results : Sculptra’s effects appear gradually, typically over several weeks to months. Results can last up to two years. Injections are recommended every two years.
• Versatile treatment : it can be used on several body areas, including :
– Arms (to address skin laxity)
– Abdomen (to firm the skin after weight loss or pregnancy)
– Thighs and buttocks (for tighter, more elastic skin)
• Non-invasive alternative : unlike surgery, Sculptra requires no anaesthesia, incisions, or extended downtime. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. However, results obtained with Sculptra are not comparable to those of surgery, which produces more pronounced changes.
During an initial consultation, Dr. Romano evaluates the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals. The doctor examines the areas to be treated and discusses the expected results, as well as the number of sessions required.
Before the treatment, the targeted areas are disinfected and, if necessary, a numbing cream may be applied for the patient’s comfort. However, the procedure is not painful at all.
The Sculptra product, after being reconstituted, is injected using a fine cannula into the deep dermis or hypodermis, depending on the desired result and the patient’s anatomy. The injections are performed strategically to maximize the stimulation of collagen synthesis.
After the injection, the treated area is massaged to distribute the product evenly and optimize the result.
A complete protocol may include 2 to 4 sessions, spaced six weeks apart. The results begin to be visible 4 to 6 weeks after the treatment and are optimal 3 to 6 months later.
After a Sculptra treatment on the body, patients describe :
Like any aesthetic treatment, Sculptra may cause some temporary side effects, such as redness, swelling, mild bruising.
These reactions usually fade within a few days. Following the recommendations provided at the end of the session helps reduce these risks. It remains essential, however, to consult an experienced physician to prevent any more significant complication.
The price of Sculptra injections for the buttocks in Geneva is 900 CHF per vial. This treatment, which aims to naturally stimulate collagen production in the deep tissues, is used to improve projection, firmness and shape of the buttocks without surgery.
The number of vials required depends on several factors : the initial silhouette, expectations in terms of volume or contour, as well as tissue tone. In general, during each session, Dr. Romano injects between two and four vials, distributed across both buttocks. Two to three sessions, spaced several weeks apart, are generally necessary to achieve an optimal result.
Each vial is billed individually at 900 CHF. No standard package is applied, as the treatment is entirely personalized. The total cost is assessed precisely according to the patient’s aesthetic goals.
The price reflects not only the quality of the product used, but also the technical nature of the procedure and the essential medical supervision required for this type of treatment.
