Sculptra and Aesplla represent advanced PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) collagen boosters that help restore volume while improving skin texture and triggering natural collagen development.

Naturally restore volume and boost collagen with Sculptra & Aesplla.
How Does Sculptra & Aesplla Work?
The biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) functions as the active ingredient in Sculptra and Aesplla treatments. The PLLA particles injected into the dermal layer activate fibroblasts to generate new collagen fibers throughout time. The treatment helps restore skin firmness while enhancing elasticity and addressing volume reduction caused by aging.
The PLLA technology in both treatments operates similarly but Aesplla delivers faster results with a softer hydrated finish compared to Sculptra which demonstrates longer clinical evidence of its outcomes. Both treatments stimulate collagen production effectively to rejuvenate skin naturally from beneath.
Each session typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Minimal downtime is expected. Some clients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites for 24 to 72 hours.
Visible improvement can begin within 6 to 8 weeks, with optimal results seen after a series of treatments. Results can last up to 2 years as new collagen continues to develop. 2-3 sessions are required.
The procedure involves a series of small injections using a fine needle or cannula. Clients may feel slight pressure or a mild stinging sensation. A massage is performed post-injection to ensure even distribution.
Possible side effects include temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, and small lumps under the skin, which typically resolve with time. Rare complications may include nodules or granulomas.
Clients are advised to follow the “5-5-5 rule”: massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun or heat exposure for 24 hours post-treatment. Hydration and sun protection are also recommended to maintain results.

What they say about us…
Sculptra & Aesplla PLLA Collagen Boosters
What is the difference between Sculptra and Aesplla?
Both are PLLA-based collagen stimulators, with different price points. Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid a synthetic biodegradable substance that has been used for decades in medical applications (e.g. such as for dissolvable stitches). Aesplla also contains poly-L-lactic acid, but it is derived from a different manufacturing process and differs slightly in particle size and formulation.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require 2 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be done yearly.
Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimal. A topical anaesthetic and/or lidocaine is often mixed with the product to reduce pain during injection.
Can I combine this treatment with other procedures?
Yes. Sculptra and Aesplla can be safely combined with other treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, hyaluronic acid fillers, or skin boosters, depending on your aesthetic goals.
Who is a good candidate for PLLA collagen boosters?
Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate facial volume loss, thinning skin, or reduced collagen production due to ageing. A full consultation is essential to assess suitability.
How long do the results last?
Results can last up to 24 months, depending on the individual’s skin type, lifestyle, and the number of sessions completed.
