Sculptra Body is the newest innovative body treatment from Galderma that targets skin laxity and structural improvement of targeted areas for over 2 years post treatment.
Sculptra Body is an injectable collagen biostimulator composed of Poly-L Lactic Acid. After the age of 20, we lose an estimated 1% collagen per year, contributing to volume loss and other effects that cause the visible ageing process of our skin. Sculptra tackles these effects by stimulating collagen production in the skin, and therefore improving the skin’s elasticity, texture and radiance. It does this through recruiting fibroblasts to the areas where it is injected. In turn these fibroblasts deposit new collagen into areas which have been depleted of collagen by the ageing process.
What makes Sculptra really special is its long-lasting efficacy, with skin quality having been clinically proven to remain improved for 25 months after treatment. Sculptra, as an injectable treatment, is able to enact its effects deep within the dermis to cause structural remodelling of the skin. Now Sculptra has turned its innovative technology to targeting a wider range of areas outside of the face. Sculptra Body has been redesigned to improve skin laxity to help to contour, lift and volumise areas such as the buttocks, thighs, abdomen, arms, decolletage and neck.
Treatment FAQs
Q. How many treatments will I need to see results?
2 to 3 sessions per treatment plan is generally recommended but specific number of sessions varies person to person and will be discussed during your consultation, based on your individual needs and anatomy. Similarly, the number of vials used during each session will vary depending on your specific needs and the area treated. Many Sculptra Body treatments, especially in the buttocks, thighs and abdomen, may require 4-6 vials to achieve your desired results.
Q. How long will it take for me to see results?
Sculptra Body starts to take effect immediately following treatment, however the visible improvements take some time to be seen and should be expected to create gradual improvements over the first 3 weeks of treatment and continue to see full effects in the 3-6 weeks following your final session.
Q. Are there side effects?
As with all injectable treatments there are risks of bruising and swelling following treatment. You may also experience a sensation of heating following treatment. Not all patients will experience such effects however when it does occur, they should settle within 2 weeks of treatment.Please refer t your aftercare for full details.
Q. Treatment, Travelling and Big Events
Travelling:
Flying can increase the chances of swelling after your treatment, this isn’t a problem and it is still possible to travel around your appointment, but we would recommend using ice to combat any swelling that you experience. Additionally, this treatment is better suited to those who travel often as it requires less follow up appointments for top ups.
Big Events:
We advise booking far in advance of any big events you have coming up to allow us to get you started on the Alluzience treatment with enough time for you to see the best possible results for your big day. We ask all of our patients who have big events coming up, to get in contact with us before booking so we can best arrange your treatment to happen at the recommended number of weeks before your event. As Alluzience is quicker acting than usual anti-wrinkle injections, a major advantage of this treatment is that it can be done closer to an upcoming event than usual toxin injections.

Testimonials
What our patients really think...
As ever I’m extremely pleased with the results and care I received on my most recent visit. Having been treated by both Dr Zoya and Dr Sanjay for years, I can recommend them equally if you are looking for natural but complimentary aesthetic treatments. They always provide a thorough review and will happily discuss the evidence-base for their treatments so you know you are in the safest and most up-to-date hands! Tammy (Clinic Manager) is also lovely and always happy to liaise any queries regarding appointments, concerns or follow-up. I wouldn’t contemplating going anywhere else for aesthetic treatments. Such a great team!
I have been very happy with the treatment at Trikwan and with the results. Dr Sanjay thoroughly explains all procedures, with full transparency and expertise around benefits but also potential risks. This transparency shows professionalism. I have had dermal fillers at Trikwan three times during the past 3 years, and the results have been very natural, just as I wanted.
