Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable material with decades of history in dissolvable stitches. Instead of adding volume from outside, microscopic particles trigger your own repair cells, which gradually build fresh collagen exactly where placed. Any fullness on the day is fluid, not new tissue, and settles within days.
The change arrives gradually over about twelve weeks, with full structure usually showing four to six months after your final session, and once it is there it can last up to two years. It works best when there is still some volume to lift onto, which is why timing the conversation matters.
Two vials is a common place to start, and for some people that is plenty. If your laxity is more advanced it takes more, sometimes three or four vials in a session and a second session after that. We will tell you straight what your skin needs rather than under-dose you into disappointment.
Your clinician consents you, photos for your file, the areas mapped and the number of vials agreed.
A few small injections, often with a cannula. Numbing cream keeps it comfortable.
A facial to settle each session in, included with every Sculptra at KB.
Five minutes, five times a day, for five days. This helps the product settle evenly. Nothing visible for four to six weeks, that is the point.
Priced per vial, with the Bespoke Sculptra Facial included. Courses can be split over three months.
Prices from the live KB menu, 26 October 2026. Single sessions are paid in full. Courses can be split over three months. KB members save 10% on most further treatments and on in-clinic skincare.
No overnight drama, just your own collagen quietly rebuilding, and in three months you catch your reflection and the structure is back. We love it for that, and we will always be honest about how much it takes. Small bumps can form under the skin in the first year, usually from technique rather than the product, and correct technique makes a real difference.
No. Filler adds volume from outside. Sculptra prompts your own skin to rebuild its scaffolding, so the change is gradual and can last up to two years.
Five minutes, five times a day, for five days helps the product settle evenly. It is standard practice and it matters.
Because advanced laxity needs more product to get a result. We would rather tell you honestly than under-dose you and let you think it did not work.
Yes. Neck, décolletage, arms, knees and buttocks, anywhere skin has gone crepey and lax.
