Sculptra: A Long-Term Solution for Lower Face Sagging

As we age, our skin undergoes natural changes, including a reduction in collagen production, which can lead to sagging, volume loss, and less defined contours in the lower face. At Barbanente Clinic, we understand that finding a solution that addresses these concerns with lasting results is essential. This is where Sculptra® comes in—a revolutionary treatment designed to restore facial structure and firmness naturally and over time.


What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a biostimulatory dermal filler made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable compound. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra works by stimulating the skin's natural collagen production, providing a foundation for long-lasting rejuvenation.


How Sculptra Addresses Lower Face Sagging

Lower face sagging, including jowls, marionette lines, and loss of jawline definition, is often a result of collagen depletion. Sculptra is specifically designed to combat this by:

  1. Promoting Collagen Synthesis: It triggers your body’s natural collagen production to strengthen the underlying skin structure.

  2. Gradual, Natural Results: Unlike immediate volumising fillers, Sculptra delivers subtle and natural-looking results over a series of sessions, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

  3. Durable Effects: The effects of Sculptra can last up to two years or more, making it an ideal choice for those seeking long-term improvement.


What to Expect During the Procedure

At Barbanente Clinic, your Sculptra journey begins with a personalised consultation where our experienced practitioners assess your facial structure and concerns.

  1. Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed and marked for precise application.

  2. Injection: Sculptra is strategically injected into the dermal layers of the lower face.

  3. Aftercare: Patients are advised to gently massage the treated areas for a few days post-treatment to help evenly distribute the product.


Why Choose Sculptra for Lower Face Rejuvenation?

  • Natural Transformation: Because Sculptra stimulates your own collagen production, the results appear gradually, maintaining a natural look.

  • Longevity: The collagen boost continues even after the product is metabolised, ensuring long-lasting improvements.

  • Non-Surgical Solution: For patients seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgery, Sculptra offers an effective and low-downtime option.


Is Sculptra Right for You?

Sculptra is suitable for individuals looking to address mild to moderate sagging and volume loss in the lower face. It is not intended for those who require instant results or for areas with severe sagging that may be better treated surgically.


At Barbanente Clinic, we pride ourselves on delivering advanced, patient-centered care tailored to your unique needs. Our team of skilled practitioners will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring a safe and effective experience.
