Sculptra™

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid and is used to stimulate a gradual collagen response in selected areas of facial volume loss. Dr Sing provides consultation-led care at Buxton Dental.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid and is used to stimulate a gradual collagen response in selected areas of facial volume loss.

It is not an immediate filler or a substitute for surgery. Early fullness may be swelling, while any longer-term change develops over months.

Dr Sing holds BDS MFDS RCS(Ed), PGCert Clin Ed and PGDip (Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry). Your medical history, skin and priorities guide any recommendation.

    • How Sculptra Works

    Suitability and consent

    Individual care plan

    Aftercare and review

    Follow the specific massage instructions if prescribed and advice on skincare, exercise and heat. Report persistent lumps or inflammation; severe pain or skin colour changes need immediate advice.

    Results & Longevity

    Swelling, bruising, infection and delayed nodules or granulomas are possible. Rare vascular complications can cause serious harm. This product cannot be dissolved like hyaluronic acid filler.

    Several sessions may be considered, but outcomes and duration vary. A conservative plan matters because the response is gradual and cannot be readily reversed.
