Sculptra in Bergen

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a biocompatible injectable implant based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which gradually builds up the skin's structure and volume. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra not only provides immediate filling, but also stimulates collagen over several months.

Who is this treatment suitable for?

Sculptra is suitable for you if:

• Experiencing volume loss in the cheeks, temples, or jaw/neck line
• Want to improve skin texture and firmness
• Want a result that develops over time (weeks/months)
• Tighten up loose skin areas
• Reduce wrinkles and scars as well as other signs of aging

Treatment process

1. Initial consultation: We assess skin type, facial volume, expectations, and possible combination with other treatments.
2. Treatment: Injection of Sculptra into the deep dermal/subcutaneous layer under local anesthesia if necessary.
3. Aftercare: You will be advised to massage the area, avoid intense sun exposure/saunas for the first few days, and come in for a check-up.
4. Results and follow-up: The effect builds gradually over 8-12 weeks and can last up to 2 years or more, depending on individual factors.

Advantages vs. other alternatives

• Long-lasting and natural: While many fillers diminish over time, Sculptra can provide long-lasting results combined with improved skin quality.
• Collagen stimulating: Improves more than just volume – provides structure and skin renewal.
• Subtle and progressive: The results are gradual—many people experience a more "natural" appearance.

Important precautions and side effects

• The treatment is not reversible, unlike hyaluronic acid fillers.
• As with all injections, swelling, bruising, pain, or lumps under the skin may occur.
• Not suitable for: known hypersensitivity to the components, active infection in the area, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
• Proper injection technique and patient follow-up are crucial for good results.

All cosmetic medical treatments can cause unwanted complications. These will be thoroughly reviewed during the consultation prior to treatment. We do not treat pregnant or breastfeeding women. The responsible physician is always available.
