If you’re looking for a subtle, long lasting way to restore facial volume and improve skin firmness, Sculptra may be the solution. This collagen stimulating treatment works gradually to support your skin from within, helping you look refreshed over time.
As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen, a key structural protein that helps maintain firmness, volume and elasticity. This can result in facial hollowness, sagging, and the development of fine lines and deeper wrinkles. Many clients come to us wanting a natural looking solution that supports long term improvement in facial volume and skin texture, without looking “overdone” or requiring frequent top ups.
Sculptra may be suitable if you’re noticing a gradual loss of facial volume, skin laxity or deeper facial lines and want a natural looking solution that supports long term results. It’s ideal for clients seeking subtle changes that develop over time rather than instant results.
During your consultation at Upper Skin Clinic, one of our experienced Registered Nurses will assess your skin, listen to your concerns, and guide you through whether Sculptra is the best treatment option or if another approach may be more suitable for your goals.
Sculptra is an injectable treatment containing poly L lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that has been used safely in medical applications for decades. Once injected, Sculptra stimulates your body to gradually produce more collagen, helping to restore facial volume and improve skin firmness over time.
• Sculptra can be used to target areas such as:
• Cheek hollows
• Temples
• Jawline definition
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines
• Gradual, natural looking results that build over time
• Stimulates your own collagen production for firmer, more youthful looking skin
• Long lasting results can be visible for over 2 years in many cases
• Helps restore facial volume in areas affected by ageing or weight loss
• Improves skin texture and structure without adding bulk or puffiness
• Customisable treatment plans tailored by our Registered Nurses to suit your needs
• Minimal downtime, with most clients returning to daily activities soon after treatment
Sculptra is designed to work gradually and subtly by encouraging your body’s own natural collagen production. This creates a refreshed appearance over time, with results that can last over 2 years in many cases. It is a great option for those wanting to restore volume and improve skin structure in a way that looks and feels like you.
At Upper Skin Clinic, our Medical team of professionals take a personalised approach to Sculptra, helping you feel supported and confident through each step of your treatment journey.
Results develop gradually over a series of treatments, with full effects typically visible after 3 to 6 months. A typical treatment plan may involve 2 to 3 sessions spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on individual needs.

To help you prepare for your Sculptra appointment and minimise the risk of bruising or swelling, please follow these recommendations:
• Avoid blood thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and garlic) for 5 to 7 days before your appointment, unless prescribed by your doctor
• Avoid alcohol and intense exercise for 24 hours before your treatment
• If you are prone to cold sores, please let us know in advance, we may recommend a preventative antiviral
• Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup or skincare products on the day of your appointment
• Inform your nurse of any recent cosmetic procedures, dental work, vaccinations, or medical conditions
Your skin may feel slightly tender, swollen or bruised after treatment. This is normal and usually resolves within a few days. To support optimal results:
• Apply a cold compress (wrapped in a clean cloth) gently to the treated area for short intervals during the first 24 hours if needed
• Gently massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 day, your nurse will show you how
• Avoid alcohol, saunas, hot tubs, and strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours
• Avoid facials, laser, or skin treatments in the treated area for at least 2 weeks
• Use a gentle cleanser and avoid active skincare (like retinols or exfoliants) until skin has settled
• Attend your recommended follow up appointments to assess progress and plan your treatment journey

Sculptra is TGA approved for use in Australia and has been used globally for many years. Our team of Registered Nurses follows strict clinical protocols to ensure your treatment is performed safely and professionally.
Results can last more than 2 years in many cases. Because Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production, the results develop and maintain more naturally over time.
Most clients benefit from a series of 2 to 3 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. This may vary based on your individual goals and level of volume loss, which we will assess during your consultation.
Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site may occur for a short time. Most clients can return to daily activities shortly after treatment. Post care instructions will be provided to ensure the best outcome.
All injectable treatments at Upper Skin Clinic are performed by experienced Registered Nurses who are highly trained in facial anatomy and committed to natural looking, confidence building outcomes.
We will guide you. During your consultation, we will assess your concerns, medical history, and goals to determine if Sculptra is the right treatment or if another option would suit you better.
