What Is Sculptra®?

Overview

Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulator containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike classic fillers, it does not fill the area instantly; it stimulates the skin’s own collagen production where it is injected. As collagen increases, the skin thickens and firms, and lost volume gradually returns.

It is chosen for hollowing of the temples, cheeks and jawline that develops with age, overall facial volume loss and early skin laxity. Because results appear gradually over a few months, the change looks natural; people around you simply notice that you look fresher.

Dr. Hakki Izmirli assesses your facial volume loss and skin structure and plans with you how many sessions are needed and which areas to treat.

I finally have the nose I had dreamed of for years.

I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Hakki about 6 months ago. Although it was an operation I had put off for years, Dr. Hakki’s approach and reassuring manner overcame all my fears. I had almost no pain after surgery and hardly any bruising. His attentiveness, the way he treats patients and how he kept following up after surgery really give you great confidence. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

He gave me confidence by explaining how he would approach the operation.

Before the operation he understood my questions and concerns. After a successful operation I could reach him whenever I wanted and was always met with attention and warmth. I thank Dr. Hakki for the care, sincerity and kindness he showed both before and after surgery.

During Treatment

Before treatment your skin is cleansed and a numbing cream is applied for your comfort. Sculptra® is then injected into the planned areas of your face in small amounts with a very fine needle.

The product is placed in the deep layer of the skin, where it stimulates collagen production over time. The treatment is usually quick, depending on the number of areas treated. You may feel a slight sting or pressure; any mild redness or swelling afterwards settles quickly.

After Treatment

After treatment, mild swelling, redness, tenderness or small bruises may appear at the injection sites; these usually resolve on their own within a few days.

You can return to daily life immediately, but avoid intense exercise on the first day. Early results are subtle; as collagen production increases you will see an improvement that becomes clearer over a few weeks.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Will the Results Look Natural?

Yes. Rather than filling the area instantly, Sculptra® stimulates your skin’s own collagen production. Because the change appears gradually over several months, the result looks rested and natural — not overdone.

How Long Does the Effect Last?

The effect of Sculptra® is long-lasting; depending on the person, results can last up to 2 years.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Most patients are recommended 2–3 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart. The number of sessions is determined at the consultation according to the degree of volume loss.

What Should I Pay Attention to After Treatment?

On the first day, avoid intense exercise and exposing the area to extreme heat or cold. You can return to daily life immediately.

Are There Side Effects?

Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising may occur at the injection site. Rarely, small nodules can form under the skin; correct injection technique reduces this risk.
