Sculptra is an innovative treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural production of collagen, helping to create youthful, toned and plump skin. It is designed for people who want to achieve long-lasting results without the need for invasive procedures.
It is a collagen biostimulator that is injected under the skin and stimulates the natural renewal of collagen fibres over time. Rather than a quick filler effect, Sculptra gradually firms the skin, filling in lines and wrinkles and restoring volume in critical areas such as the cheeks, jawline and chin.
Sculptra works gradually and provides long-lasting results. After injection, it starts to actively stimulate collagen production, leading to firmer and more youthful skin. Results become visible over several weeks and last up to two years or more, depending on the individual and their lifestyle.
1. Pre-treatment consultation:
You will discuss your wishes and expectations with your doctor. The doctor will answer all your questions in detail and provide you with information about the procedure itself and any risks. This preliminary interview is crucial for your understanding and safety throughout the process.
2. Preparing for the treatment:
You will arrive for your treatment without make-up and with a clean face. If you need further instructions, your doctor will inform you during your consultation.
The doctor cleans and disinfects the face. A local anaesthetic or an anaesthetic cream is usually used to ensure maximum comfort and minimise discomfort during the procedure.
3. Procedure:
Sculptra, which contains polylactic acid (PLA), is carefully injected into the deeper layers of the skin. Polylactic acid stimulates the skin’s own collagen production, which is key to skin firmness and fullness. It is injected in areas where signs of ageing are present, such as loss of volume, sagging skin, wrinkles and lines.
4. Post-treatment instructions:
There is usually no need for recovery as discomfort is minimal and minor swelling or redness disappears within a few days. After the treatment, it is recommended to avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours.

“I have suffered from chronic joint pain, especially in my knees, for several years. Traditional treatments such as physical therapy, painkillers and even corticosteroid injections have only provided temporary relief. Desperate for a more permanent solution, I started researching alternative treatments and came across mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) therapy. After consulting my doctor and doing extensive research, I decided to give it a try.
The treatment process was simple and professionally managed. The first consultation included a thorough assessment of my condition and detailed information on how MSC therapy works. The procedure itself was minimally invasive and surprisingly quick.
What surprised me most was the gradual but noticeable improvement in my condition. Within a few weeks I felt significant pain relief and increased mobility. Tasks that had become difficult or impossible, such as walking up stairs, lifting objects and even walking for long periods of time, became much easier. The stiffness and constant pain that had plagued me for years were greatly reduced. Three months after treatment, I can say with certainty that the improvement has been remarkable. The quality of my life has improved significantly.
I highly recommend MSC therapy to anyone who suffers from chronic joint pain. It has been a game changer for me, providing long term relief where other treatments have failed. The professionalism and care of the medical team (Crystal?) combined with the innovation of the treatment made for an exceptional experience. If you are considering this option, I would recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine whether MSC therapy could be the solution you have been looking for. “
“My name is Milena and I am happy to share my experience of stem cell therapy for Heberden’s and Bouchard’s osteoarthritis of the toes. For years I have been struggling with unbearable pain and swelling in most of my fingers, but especially in three of them, which has affected my daily life.
After extensive research and consultations, I was advised by rheumatologists that medicine has no cure for small joint diseases and that I can only relieve them with painkillers. So I decided to try stem cell therapy. In the procedure, stem cells were injected into each joint of the fingers of both hands. The procedure went smoothly and professionally, but also with not too much pain.
The results were great. I noticed a significant reduction in swelling and pain in a short time. Gradually, the mobility of my fingers improved to some extent, but most importantly, I no longer woke up at night in pain, I no longer had to take painkillers and I was able to do everyday tasks again, including gardening.
Stem cell therapy has made my life easier and, above all, it has eliminated the need to take painkillers, which in the long run also have side effects. I am immensely grateful for the advances in medical science that have made this possible and for the skilled professionals who have guided the treatment. If you suffer from osteoarthritis, I recommend that you opt for stem cell therapy.”
