Sculptra
A fundamental collagen booster that gradually builds skin elasticity from within and delivers long-lasting results
Overview
Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) is the original collagen biostimulator: rather than filling a line, it seeds your dermis with PLLA microparticles that your own fibroblasts convert into new collagen over months. The result is gradual, structural rejuvenation — firmer, thicker, younger-behaving skin that is entirely your own tissue.
DERNA uses Sculptra for global facial aging: hollow temples, flattened cheeks, and the overall deflation that fillers address only spot by spot. Results build over 3 sessions and famously last two years or more.

Sculptra — FAQ
How is Sculptra different from filler?
Filler adds volume instantly and is absorbed; Sculptra stimulates your body to build its own collagen gradually. The outcome is natural density rather than added substance.
How many sessions do I need?
The classic protocol is 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Improvement continues for up to 6 months after the final session.
How long does it last?
Two years or more after a completed course — the longest duration of any injectable collagen treatment.
Any special aftercare?
Yes — the '5-5-5 rule': massage the treated area 5 minutes, 5 times daily, for 5 days to ensure even particle distribution.
