What is Sculptra? Collagen Biostimulator for Skin Rejuvenation
Sculptra is an injectable Collagen Biostimulator whose primary ingredient is PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid). It functions by stimulating the body's natural production of its own collagen, helping to restore skin structure from within, making the skin denser, stronger, and more elastic. This continuously improves overall skin quality and maintains long-lasting results. It is suitable for individuals seeking gradual skin rejuvenation, administered under the supervision of physicians at Mediqueen Clinic (Medical License No. 37670).

What is Sculptra and How Does It Work?
Sculptra consists of microparticles of PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic substance. When injected into the subcutaneous layer, the particles stimulate fibroblast cells, which are the primary cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
This process encourages the body to gradually generate new collagen in the treated areas, restoring skin structure from within. Consequently, the skin naturally becomes denser, stronger, and firmer over time, mimicking the body's natural skin renewal mechanism.
Properties and Results of Sculptra
Sculptra treatment helps improve skin quality across multiple dimensions, from enhancing skin elasticity and density to firming previously sagging skin. Additionally, it helps overall skin appear fuller, smoother, and more radiant.
A key highlight is the long-lasting outcome. Studies indicate that good skin quality can be maintained for up to or over 24 months, making it an option for those who prefer fewer maintenance visits. Individual results and duration may vary depending on skin condition and post-treatment care.
Safety of Sculptra
Sculptra is an internationally recognized Collagen Biostimulator approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) and the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It has been utilized in aesthetic medicine since 1999 across more than 40 countries worldwide, supported by reliable safety data. Treatments should only be performed under the supervision of specialized physicians.
FAQ
Who is Sculptra suitable for?
It is suitable for individuals who wish to restore skin quality due to skin laxity or loss of firmness, increase skin density and elasticity, or desire natural and gradual results. It also suits those undergoing other lifting procedures who wish to complement their treatment outcomes.
How long do Sculptra results last?
Based on clinical study data, Sculptra results can last for over 2 years. However, results may vary by individual depending on age, skin condition, and post-procedure care.
How does Sculptra differ from dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers (Hyaluronic Acid) work by adding volume for immediate and distinct results over a shorter duration. In contrast, Sculptra is a collagen biostimulator that gradually restores skin structure from within, providing more natural and long-lasting results by utilizing each individual's natural collagen production process.
