Sculptra in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

Sculptra is a popular injectable treatment in Korea known for its unique ability to stimulate the body's own collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually to restore the skin's underlying structure, leading to a natural-looking improvement in skin firmness, elasticity, and volume. This treatment is ideal for those seeking a long-lasting and subtle rejuvenation.


What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a biostimulator made from Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance. When injected, the PLLA microparticles trigger the skin to produce new collagen over time. As the PLLA is absorbed by the body, the newly formed collagen remains, providing a lasting foundation for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.


Popular Treatment Areas for Sculptra in Korea

  • Cheeks and Midface: Restores lost volume to lift sagging cheeks and create a more youthful contour.
  • Temples: Fills in hollows that can make the face look tired or aged.
  • Jawline and Chin: Improves definition and tightens skin along the lower face.
  • Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines: Softens deep wrinkles and folds around the mouth.
