What is Sculptra treatment for the body?

Sculptra is a revolutionary body treatment in aesthetic medicine. Its active ingredient, polylactic acid, treats cellulite and loss of skin firmness and elasticity in various body areas.
It is particularly indicated for laxity of the arms, thighs, abdomen, buttocks or knees. Sculptra also augments the buttocks.
It naturally stimulates collagen production for gradual, lasting rejuvenation.

How does Sculptra work ?

Sculptra acts deeply in the dermis, stimulating natural collagen production. Unlike immediate treatments such as hyaluronic acid, its effects appear gradually. It provides lasting improvements in quality, firmness and thickness. Biodegradable and biocompatible poly-L-lactic acid is naturally absorbed, leaving revitalised, younger skin.

What are the indications for
body Sculptra?

Sculptra is ideal for several skin quality and figure indications, particularly:
• Laxity: collagen stimulation firms loose skin, improving tautness and elasticity.
• Cellulite: improved quality and thickness visibly reduce cellulite on the thighs, buttocks or other areas.
• Buttock augmentation: for patients seeking enhanced curves without surgery, Body Sculptra non-invasively restores buttock volume and firmness.
• Skin quality: hydration and revitalisation visibly improve radiance and quality.

Who are Sculptra injections
in the body unsuitable
for?

Body Sculptra suits men and women with reduced firmness and elasticity through age, weight loss or genetics, or seeking cellulite improvement or moderate buttock augmentation. It offers natural, gradual skin improvement.
It is nevertheless not recommended for:
• Autoimmune disease.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Allergy to PLLA or another component.
• Previous keloid or hypertrophic scarring.

Not everyone is eligible. Very thin skin or an almost absent subcutaneous fat layer carries significant nodule risk; Dr Romano will refuse treatment in these circumstances.

Benefits of Sculptra for the body

Body Sculptra is ideal for improving skin without surgery. Main benefits include:
• Natural collagen stimulation
Collagen is essential for firmness and suppleness. Age-related decline causes laxity; Sculptra restarts production for a younger appearance.
• Gradual, lasting results: effects develop over weeks to months and last up to two years. Repeat injections every two years.
• Versatility across areas including:
Arms for laxity.
Abdomen for firmer skin after weight loss or pregnancy.
Thighs and buttocks for tauter, more elastic skin.
• Non-invasive alternative: no anaesthesia, incisions or prolonged recovery. Everyday activities resume immediately. Results are not comparable with surgery, which provides greater changes.

What happens during treatment with
Body Sculptra

At consultation, Dr Romano assesses needs, goals and treatment areas, discussing expected results and session numbers.
Areas are disinfected; anaesthetic cream can be applied for comfort if needed, although treatment is painless.
Reconstituted Sculptra is injected through a fine cannula into the deep dermis or hypodermis according to anatomy and goals. Strategic placement maximises collagen stimulation.
The area is then massaged for distribution and optimal results.
A full protocol may include 2 to 4 sessions six weeks apart. Results start at 4 to 6 weeks and are optimal at 3 to 6 months.
