When you hit your 30s, your body’s ability to produce collagen decreases by 1.5% each year. This leads to sagging skin, less firmness, and more wrinkles. This is where Sculptra, a new and popular innovation, comes in. Research confirms that Sculptra helps stimulate the body to produce collagen.
In this article, learn all about Sculptra. What is Sculptra? Who is it for? How much does Sculptra cost? Find out all the essential details you need to know before deciding to get Sculptra injections.
Sculptra consists of particles of Poly-L-Lactic acid (PLLA), a type of collagen stimulator. Research shows that Sculptra injects substances that help the skin naturally produce its own collagen, resulting in firmer, fuller, and more youthful skin. It rejuvenates from deep within the skin's structure, leaves no residues in the body, and naturally breaks down. Sculptra is approved by the US FDA and Thai FDA, ensuring high safety.
Collagen is a protein that the body produces on its own. When the skin has a lot of collagen, it remains elastic. However, as we age, collagen production decreases, leading to sagging and less firm skin.
Sculptra is designed to stimulate the skin to produce collagen again, making it an excellent option for those looking to restore youthful skin.
If you are concerned about needle marks or bruising after injections, follow these tips to prevent prolonged recovery
Do not undergo the procedure if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have any medical conditions or are taking medications, consult a doctor before getting the injection.
After getting Sculptra injections, you can resume your normal activities without downtime. Here are some post-injection care tips
Massaging after Sculptra injections helps the product absorb well and distribute evenly. Use the Triple 5 technique: massage for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days.
Sculptra works by rejuvenating the deep structure of the skin, making it gradually firmer and tighter by the 4th week, with significant reduction in sagging by the 3rd month.
3 sessions of Sculptra injections, spaced 1 month apart, allow the skin to fully produce collagen, with results lasting up to 2 years. A single session will provide results lasting about 6-7 months.

Q: How many times do I need to get Sculptra injections?
A: Doctors usually recommend getting Sculptra injections 2-3 times at first, with about 1 month between each session. This helps boost collagen production and makes the skin firmer.
Q: Does getting Sculptra injections hurt?
A: At MEGA CLINIC, we apply numbing cream before giving Sculptra injections, so it hurts very little. However, pain sensitivity can differ for each person depending on how sensitive their skin is. If you are mentally and physically ready, the injection process will feel much more comfortable and relaxing than you might expect.
Q: Will there be a lot of swelling after getting Sculptra?
A: After the injection, there may be some swelling at the injection site, which is normal. The swelling usually goes down within 2-3 days, depending on your skin type. For some people, the swelling is so minimal it’s barely noticeable.
Q: Is Sculptra’s result similar to Ultraformer III?
A: While both treatments help lift and firm the skin, Sculptra and Ultraformer III work differently. Ultraformer III focuses on lifting and reducing sagging skin, while Sculptra improves skin firmness and overall skin quality, making you look younger.
Q: How many CCs are in one bottle of Sculptra?
A: One bottle of Sculptra contains 10 CCs.
Q: Does Sculptra last for 2 years?
A: Sculptra results can last up to 2 years if you get injections once a month for 3 months. However, if you only get one session, the results will last about 6-7 months.
