Sculptra® Biostimulator Body Treatments

At Natural Aesthetics, we offer advanced body treatments using Sculptra®. Whether you’re looking to reduce loose skin post-pregnancy or diminish the appearance of cellulite, Sculptra offers a non-invasive solution with long-lasting results.

What Can Sculptra Treat?

Sculptra is a versatile treatment that addresses multiple body areas:

  • Loose Skin: Around the knees, elbows, upper arms, and stomach.
  • Cellulite: Diminish dimples and smooth the skin on the upper thighs and buttocks.
  • Post-Pregnancy Skin: Firm and tone areas affected by pregnancy, including the stomach and hips.
  • Body Contouring: Enhance the buttocks and correct hip dips to achieve a fuller, more contoured shape.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which stimulates your body’s natural collagen production over time. This gradual process improves skin elasticity, tightness, and volume, offering a rejuvenated appearance without surgery.

Why Choose Sculptra for Body Treatments?

Unlike fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra’s results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen. Treatments are spaced over several months, with noticeable improvements in skin quality and tightness becoming visible over time. The results can last up to 2 years, offering a subtle and long-lasting transformation.

As the first—and original—injectable collagen stimulator containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), Sculptra helps restore facial skin structure, which may provide long-lasting skin improvement.

What is collagen? 

Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps maintain your skin’s shape and structure. The skin needs collagen to resist signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.By age 40, most of us have lost up to 20% of our natural collagen.

Sculptra helps stimulate natural collagen production. The poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) in Sculptra forms a framework that helps support and maintain the skin’s inner structure, which may lead to a more youthful-looking appearance.
