What it is
Sculptra is a biostimulator. It gently encourages your skin to regenerate its own collagen, restoring natural volume loss, with results that can last two to three years. Unlike traditional fillers it works beneath the surface to re-engage your skin's renewal process, so the change is progressive rather than immediate.
That is why it is planned as a course rather than as one appointment. Our treatment list shows it as Sculptra 1/3, £495 for 60 minutes, and how many your face needs is decided at consultation rather than before it. Sculptra is injected by Dr Chloë or her sister Dr Eloise.
Where we use it
On the face, where volume and support have been lost, rather than where a line moves.
- Volume that has gone from the cheeks and the midface
- Sagging skin and jowls, where support has been lost as well as volume
- Skin that has lost its structure and firmness with age
- Anyone who would rather build their own collagen than fill a feature
- Anyone happy for the change to come in over months rather than on the day

Who it suits
- Volume that has gone from the cheeks and the midface
- Skin that has lost structure as well as firmness
- Anyone who wants the change to come in gradually rather than all at once
- Anyone who would rather their own collagen did the work
- Anyone happy to plan a course over several months
When it is not the answer
- Lines that move with the face, which anti-wrinkle injections treat instead
- A feature you want shaped straight away, such as the lips, chin or jaw, which dermal filler does (see lip filler and our injectables)
- Hydration and skin quality across a whole area rather than lost volume, where Profhilo is the treatment
- Laxity along the jaw and neck that needs lifting, where HIFU and Morpheus 8 do the work
- Significant loose skin, where a surgical opinion is what we will recommend rather than an injectable
If Sculptra is not the right treatment for you, we will say so at consultation and suggest what is.
What happens on the day
Your consultation covers what you want to change, what your skin has had before and your medical history, and whether Sculptra, Profhilo Structura or a combination is the better plan for your face.
Sculptra is injected in a 60 minute appointment, and your aftercare is explained to you at that appointment. Our treatment list shows it as Sculptra 1/3, because it is planned as a course.
Because Sculptra works by re-engaging your skin's own renewal process, the change is progressive. It builds over the months that follow rather than showing on the day, and the result can last two to three years. When to come back is agreed at consultation.
Sculptra questions
How much is Sculptra at Skinfolk?
Sculptra is £495 for a 60 minute appointment, shown on our treatment list as Sculptra 1/3. Every price we publish is on our treatment pricing page.
What does Sculptra do?
It is a biostimulator. It encourages your skin to regenerate its own collagen and restores natural volume that has been lost, rather than filling one feature.
How long does Sculptra last?
The result can last two to three years. It builds progressively over the months after treatment rather than appearing on the day.
Is Sculptra a filler?
It is an injectable, but it does not work the way a traditional filler does. Instead of adding volume on the day it works beneath the surface to re-engage your skin's own renewal process, so the change comes in gradually.
How many Sculptra treatments will I need?
It is planned as a course, which is why our treatment list shows it as Sculptra 1/3. How many your face needs is agreed at your consultation.
Sculptra or Profhilo?
Profhilo works on hydration and firmness across a whole area and is £275. Sculptra restores volume that has been lost, by building your own collagen, and is £495. Where support has gone as well as volume, Profhilo Structura is the third option. Which of them suits you is decided at consultation.
Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?
Sculptra is planned alongside our other injectable and skin treatments where that suits your face. Which treatments go together, and in what order, is agreed at your consultation.
Who carries out the treatment?
Our injectable treatments are performed by Dr Chloë or Dr Eloise.
Where is the clinic?
Skinfolk is at The Paddocks, Woodhall Lane, Ombersley, Uphampton, Droitwich WR9 0JR. We welcome clients from Droitwich Spa, Worcester, Bromsgrove and across Worcestershire. Details are on our contact page.
What it treats
Sculptra is the injectable route where volume has gone as well as support, as our sagging skin and jowls page explains, and Profhilo is the one we reach for where the skin itself has thinned and needs hydration and firmness. Where the face needs lifting rather than filling, HIFU and Morpheus 8 do that work.
It sits with our other injectables on the injectables page and inside our treatment packages, and every price is on our price list.
