Collagen-stimulating
volume that
builds slowly

Some injectable fillers make your skin look “filled” right away. Sculptra is meant to do something else: add volume slowly over time with collagen that looks like your own tissue. It doesn’t try to make changes right away; instead, it works to rebuild support so the face looks fresher, smoother, and more balanced.

Patients who want to look better without the telltale signs of having “something done” often choose Sculptra at Mayam Aesthetic. It can be especially helpful when the face looks flatter or less supported, and the goal is to make it look healthier and more refreshed without changing it.

Not a quick fill, a rebuild

Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that works as a collagen stimulator rather than a traditional gel that simply occupies space. When placed in deeper layers, it encourages the body to produce new collagen over time, gradually restoring support and improving texture and firmness.

This is why the change is progressive. You are not mainly “adding volume”; you are encouraging the face to rebuild structure in a controlled way.

Where Sculptra tends to show best

Sculptra is often selected for areas where soft volume loss changes the overall frame of the face, such as:

  • Cheeks and mid-face support (when the face looks flatter)
  • Temples (when the outer face loses smoothness)
  • Lower-face softening (when definition fades and the face looks heavier)

The objective is a balanced, support-led refresh. If the main issue is loose skin that needs repositioning, a lifting strategy may be more predictable, with injectables used only as finishing touches.

What happens on the day

A Sculptra appointment typically includes:

  • A full-face assessment (front and profile) to identify where support has shifted
  • A conservative injection map that targets structural zones first
  • A staged approach when needed, so the final look stays controlled and natural

Proportion guides the plan at Mayam Aesthetic, which is why treatment often starts with supporting the mid-face before focusing on smaller details. The lower face tends to sit more smoothly when the mid-face is better supported. This can make the whole face look less tired, often with less product and a more natural look.

The settling period and massage guidance

After getting an injection, it’s normal to have mild, short-term side effects like redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruises. These usually go away in 7 to 14 days, but they can happen sooner.

For poly-L-lactic acid, your doctor may tell you to gently massage the area that was treated for about 5 minutes, several times a day, for 1 to 2 weeks.  If this is recommended for you, you have to do it. It is a step toward getting a smooth, natural look.

If you notice that your pain is getting worse, your redness is getting worse, your color is changing in an unusual way, or any other sign that your symptoms are getting worse instead of better, call the clinic right away.

Safety checkpoints you should never skip

Sculptra is a medical procedure. Before treatment, it should be clear:

  • what product will be used and that it is authentic and traceable
  • who will inject and what training and experience they have
  • what the complication plan is, including follow-up access
  • what outcome is realistic for your face, and what is unlikely to change

Complications with dermal fillers can be serious, including infection, nerve damage, and blindness, so avoiding undertrained providers is essential.
It is also recommended that you never receive filler injections in a non-medical setting.
