Sculptra is an FDA-approved collagen biostimulator treatment, available at Natural Aesthetics in Cape Town, at our clinics in Green Point, Tyger Valley, and Somerset West.
Did you know that Dr. Wade Merchant is an internationally certified trainer for Galderma, the company that produces Sculptra? Our Cape Town branch frequently hosts workshops, where Dr. Wade provides hands-on training to doctors and plastic surgeons on the correct administration techniques and clinical applications of Sculptra.
Once injected, Sculptra’s patented poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microparticles stimulate fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen. Collagen is the essential protein responsible for firmness, structure, and elasticity.
This gradual process allows results to develop naturally as new collagen forms, thereby helping to restore facial volume and improve skin firmness, laxity, texture, and overall quality. In addition, Sculptra typically lasts up to two years or longer, making it ideal for patients seeking long-term results without the need for frequent maintenance treatments.
While popular injectables such as Juvederm, Revanesse, and Restylane dermal fillers provide immediate volume and results, Sculptra offers long-term benefits by addressing the underlying causes of facial ageing and collagen loss.
Unlike dermal fillers that add volume and enhance facial features, Sculptra gradually stimulates natural collagen production, therefore helping to restore structure, firmness, and skin quality over time.
The most popular treatment areas for Sculptra include the face, neck, chest, and hands. At Natural Aesthetics, our doctors also offer Sculptra body treatments to enhance the buttocks, improve the appearance of cellulite, and tighten loose skin around the knees, upper arms, and abdomen.
Sculptra Science:
As the first and original injectable collagen stimulator containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), Sculptra® helps restore the skin’s internal structure, resulting in gradual and long-lasting skin improvement.
Stimulating Natural Collagen
What Is Collagen?
Collagen is a fibrous protein that gives the skin its structure, firmness, and elasticity. It helps the skin resist signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. By the age of 40, most people have lost up to 20% of their natural collagen, which contributes to visible skin ageing.
Sculptra helps stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production. The poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) in Sculptra forms a supportive framework that reinforces the skin’s inner structure, promoting a smoother and more youthful appearance over time.
Sculptra treatments are performed by our team of experienced medical doctors across Cape Town, at our clinics in Green Point, Tyger Valley, and Somerset West.

Yes. Sculptra is safe for all skin types when administered by qualified medical doctors. Your doctor will assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan to ensure safe and effective results.
Most patients require 2–4 vials of Sculptra, administered over a series of sessions spaced 30–45 days apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 18–24 months.
We recommend avoiding makeup for 24 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of irritation and allow the skin to recover.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours to minimise swelling and allow the product to settle evenly.
No. Sculptra is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Treatments should only be done once this period has ended. However, you are welcome to book a consultation with one of our aesthetic therapists, who can recommend safe treatments and skincare products to help maintain your skin’s health during this time.
Results develop gradually as new collagen forms, typically becoming visible after 8–12 weeks. Improvements continue over several months and can last up to two years or longer.
Sculptra is not the same as dermal fillers. Fillers provide immediate volume by placing hyaluronic acid beneath the skin, whereas Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. This process restores facial structure, firmness, and elasticity over time for long-lasting, natural-looking results.
