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 acts deep within the dermis by stimulating the skin to produce its own collagen. Unlike treatments that offer immediate results, such as hyaluronic acid, its effects appear gradually, resulting in long-term improvement in skin texture, firmness, and thickness. Poly-L-lactic acid is biodegradable and biocompatible, and is naturally absorbed by the body, leaving the skin revitalised and more youthful.
Sculptra is an ideal solution for various concerns related to skin quality and body contouring. It is particularly effective for :
• Skin laxity : by stimulating collagen production, Sculptra firms loose skin, making it tighter and more elastic.
• Cellulite : by improving the texture and thickness of the skin, it visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, and other areas.
• Buttock augmentation : for patients seeking a fuller silhouette without surgery, Sculptra offers a non-invasive solution to restore volume and firmness to the buttocks.
• Skin quality improvement : Sculptra hydrates and revitalises the skin, visibly enhancing its radiance and texture.
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 will assess the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals. The doctor examines the treatment areas and discusses the expected results as well as the number of sessions required.
Before the procedure, the targeted areas are disinfected and, if needed, a numbing cream may be applied for comfort. However, the treatment is generally not painful.
The Sculptra product, once 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 administered strategically to maximise collagen stimulation.
After injection, the treated area is massaged to distribute the product evenly and optimise the outcome.
A full protocol may include 2 to 4 sessions, spaced six weeks apart. Results begin to appear 4 to 6 weeks after treatment and are optimal between 3 and 6 months.
After Sculptra treatment on the body, patients report :
• Firmer, more elastic skin.
• Visible reduction in folds and skin laxity.
• Improved overall skin texture.
• Reduction in cellulite.
• Moderate volume enhancement of the buttocks.
• A boost in self-confidence due to a more harmonious and youthful silhouette.
Like any aesthetic treatment, Sculptra may cause a few temporary side effects, such as :
• Redness.
• Swelling.
• Mild bruising.
These reactions generally subside within a few days. It is essential to follow the post-care instructions provided during the consultation to minimise these risks.
Consulting an experienced doctor is crucial to avoid more serious complications.
