A gradual approach to restoring skin firmness and facial structure, at L’atelier Aesthetics with Dr Duncan Brennand.
Sculptra is an injectable treatment made from poly L lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that has been used in medical treatments for many years.
Unlike traditional fillers which add volume immediately, Sculptra works by encouraging the body to produce new collagen within the skin. Collagen is a key structural protein that supports skin firmness, elasticity and facial structure.
As collagen production increases over time, the skin gradually becomes firmer and areas of volume loss appear softer and more balanced.
This approach allows Sculptra to improve the overall quality and structure of the skin while maintaining subtle, natural looking results.
During treatment, Sculptra is carefully injected into targeted areas of the face where collagen support has reduced over time.
The poly L lactic acid particles stimulate the body’s natural collagen production process. Over the following weeks and months, this new collagen helps strengthen the skin’s underlying structure.
Because this process develops gradually, improvements appear progressively rather than immediately. This allows the skin to restore volume and firmness in a natural and balanced way.
Many patients appreciate that the results evolve slowly, creating subtle changes that enhance the face without dramatically altering appearance.
Sculptra may be suitable for patients who are experiencing gradual loss of facial volume or changes in skin firmness.

During your consultation at L’Atelier Aesthetics, we will assess your facial structure and skin quality to determine whether Sculptra is the most suitable treatment for your goals.
Sculptra is commonly used to support areas of the face where collagen loss has affected skin firmness and facial structure. By gradually stimulating collagen production, the treatment can restore subtle volume and improve overall skin quality while maintaining natural looking results.
| Area | Sculptra Use |
|---|---|
Cheeks | Sculptra can help restore volume in the cheeks where collagen loss has led to a flatter appearance, improving contour and facial balance. |
Temples | Volume loss in the temples can create a hollowed appearance. Sculptra may help restore subtle fullness and improve facial harmony. |
Jawline | Sculptra can support the jawline where reduced collagen has affected definition, helping to improve skin firmness and contour. |
Lower Face | The treatment may help improve skin firmness and support facial structure in areas of the lower face affected by laxity or volume loss. |
Overall Skin Quality | By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra can also improve skin texture, firmness and elasticity over time. |
Results from Sculptra develop gradually as the skin begins producing new collagen.
Many patients begin to notice improvements in skin texture and firmness within several weeks, with further changes developing over the following months.
Because Sculptra works by supporting the skin’s natural collagen production, results can continue to improve over time and may last longer than many traditional injectable treatments.
Treatment plans are always personalised to ensure results remain subtle, balanced and natural looking.
Your Sculptra treatment begins with a consultation where we assess your skin and discuss your concerns and goals. If Sculptra is suitable, we will create a personalised treatment plan outlining the number of sessions recommended and the areas to be treated.
During treatment, small injections are placed into targeted areas of the skin. The procedure typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
Following treatment, mild swelling or bruising may occur temporarily. We provide detailed aftercare guidance and may recommend gentle massage of the treated areas for several days.
Follow up appointments may be scheduled to assess progress and determine whether additional treatment sessions are recommended.

Sculptra is an injectable treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production. Rather than creating immediate volume like traditional fillers, it works gradually to improve skin firmness, restore subtle facial volume and support overall skin quality.
Dermal fillers typically provide immediate volume by placing hyaluronic acid beneath the skin. Sculptra works differently by encouraging the body to produce new collagen over time, resulting in gradual improvements in skin structure and facial volume.
Results from Sculptra develop gradually as collagen production increases. Many patients notice improvements over several months, and results can often last longer than many traditional injectable treatments when supported by appropriate maintenance.
Most patients benefit from a course of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions recommended will depend on factors such as skin quality, facial volume loss and the results you would like to achieve.
