Sculptra Biostimulator 1 Ampule

Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) injectable biostimulator that gradually restores facial volume by stimulating the body's own collagen production over several months. Each ampule treats volume loss in the temples, cheeks, jawline, or pre-jowl area.

Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic polymer that has been used in medical applications including absorbable sutures for decades. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate volume through gel implantation, Sculptra works by triggering a gradual fibrotic and neocollagenesis response around the microparticles of PLLA, producing new collagen that replaces lost facial volume naturally over a period of weeks to months. At DCG Centrum Medyczne, each Sculptra ampule is reconstituted according to the manufacturer's protocol and injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous plane of targeted treatment areas. Common zones include the temples (where hollow temples create a gaunt appearance), the mid-face and cheeks (to restore youthful convexity), the pre-jowl sulcus (to reduce marionette line depth), and the jawline (to improve definition). The physician uses a systematic injection technique with either a needle or cannula, distributing the product evenly across the treatment area. The treatment protocol typically consists of 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with each session building incrementally on the collagen stimulation from the previous one. Patients are instructed to perform the "5-5-5 massage rule" — massaging the treated areas 5 times daily for 5 minutes for 5 days post-treatment — to ensure even distribution of the PLLA microparticles and prevent nodule formation. This massage protocol is essential for optimal results. Results from Sculptra develop gradually and subtly, which many patients prefer as it avoids the sudden change associated with volumising fillers. Initial volume from the reconstitution fluid dissipates within days, and then new collagen builds progressively over 4 to 12 weeks following each session. The final result can last up to 2 years or longer, making Sculptra one of the most durable non-surgical facial volumising options available. DCG's physicians typically photograph patients at each session to document the progressive improvement.
