As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume. Wrinkles appear, facial contours become less defined, and the skin appears saggy. Sculptra® offers an innovative solution for women and men who want natural skin tightening without surgery. At our first-class Skinthetics practice in Düsseldorf, we rely on this proven Sculptra treatment to help you achieve a more youthful, fresher Skin appearance.Sculptra® differs fundamentally from conventional hyaluronic acid fillers. Instead of achieving immediate volume effects, it stimulates your skin's natural Collagen production. This results in gradual, natural-looking results that are particularly long-lasting. Dr. Lucija Grittern has extensive experience with Sculptra and can offer you individually tailored treatment concepts.
Areas of application for Sculptra®:
• Skin tightening on the face and décolleté
• Treatment of cellulite and skin laxity

Sculptra® is based on Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and completely biodegradable active ingredient. This substance has been used in medicine for decades and is known for its excellent tolerability. Unlike direct fillers, Sculptra® acts as a Collagen biostimulator. After injection, the polylactic acid stimulates the body's own fibroblasts to increase Collagen production. This gradually and naturally builds up skin volume from within.
While hyaluronic acid fillers achieve immediate volume results, Sculptra® acts as a long-term collagen biostimulator. Hyaluronic acid is broken down by the body after 6-18 months, whereas Sculptra® effects can last up to two years or longer. Sculptra® produces more subtle, natural results through the gradual build-up of the body's own collagen. Hyaluronic acid is better suited for spot corrections, while Sculptra® provides more extensive skin improvements and tightening effects.
Our specialist Dr. Lucija Grittern has extensive experience with Sculptra and many years of expertise in aesthetic dermatology. In our luxurious surroundings, we develop customized treatment concepts tailored to your individual needs. We guarantee optimal results thanks to state-of-the-art equipment and high-quality services that meet the latest global standards. Our holistic treatment concept takes into account not only the desired changes, but also the natural harmony of your facial features.
Before each Sculptra treatment, Dr. Lucija Grittern will conduct a detailed consultation with you. She will analyze your skin texture, discuss your wishes, and explain the treatment process. This includes providing you with thorough information about possible risks and documenting the initial findings. The areas to be treated are marked and disinfected. If necessary, we apply an anesthetic cream to increase comfort during the injection.
Sculptra® is injected precisely into the appropriate skin layers using fine cannulas or needles. Dr. Lucija Grittern works with the utmost care and takes the natural proportions of the face into account. The injections are made at several levels to achieve optimal results. During the treatment, our expert gently massages the treated areas to ensure even distribution.
The entire process is usually painless and takes about 30-45 minutes. Sculptra® must be reconstituted before use, and we strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions. For optimal Sculptra before and after results, 2-3 treatment sessions at intervals of 4-6 weeks are usually required. Our patients consistently report positive Sculptra experiences in our practice.
After Sculptra treatment, you should massage the treated areas regularly. This is known as the 5-5-5 rule: 5 minutes of massage, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This promotes even distribution of the material. You should avoid intense sunlight and extreme temperatures in the first few days. Slight swelling or redness is normal and usually subsides within 24-48 hours. Our team is available at any time to answer your questions.

Sculptra® is suitable for people aged 30 and over who are noticing the first signs of Skin aging or want to take preventive action. The treatment is particularly effective for early skin laxity, volume loss, and deep wrinkles. Younger patients also benefit from its skin-improving properties. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and people with certain autoimmune diseases should refrain from treatment. Dr. Lucija Grittern will determine your individual suitability in a personal consultation.
Sculptra® and Botox work in completely different ways. While Botox reduces muscle activity and thus smooths dynamic wrinkles, Sculptra® stimulates Collagen production for volume enhancement and skin tightening. Botox shows immediate results that last for about 3-6 months. Sculptra® develops its effect gradually over several months, but lasts significantly longer. Both treatments can be combined optimally. Botox treats dynamic wrinkles, while Sculptra® treats static wrinkles and Volume loss.
A single Sculptra treatment takes about 30-45 minutes in our practice. This time includes preparation, the actual injection, and the final massage. For optimal results, 2-3 treatment sessions are usually required, carried out at intervals of 4-6 weeks. The exact schedule is tailored to your individual needs. Dr. Lucija Grittern takes sufficient time for each session to achieve the best possible Sculptra before and after results.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra® does not show immediate results. The first improvements are usually visible after 4-6 weeks, as Collagen production takes time. The full result develops over 3-6 months. This gradual development is a great advantage, as the changes look very natural. Many of our patients appreciate this gradual improvement in their Sculptra experiences. Dr. Lucija Grittern documents the progress with before and after photos.
The results of a Sculptra treatment can last up to two years or longer. Since the body's own collagen is built up, the effects are particularly long-lasting. The longevity depends on individual factors such as age, skin type, lifestyle, and metabolism. Younger patients with a healthy lifestyle often benefit from the results for longer. A refresher treatment may be advisable after about 18-24 months. At our Skinthetics practice, we will be happy to advise you on the optimal treatment schedule.
Sculptra® can be combined excellently with other aesthetic procedures. The combination with Botox has proven particularly effective for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Laser treatments for skin improvement also complement Sculptra® perfectly. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be used for specific corrections. Dr. Lucija Grittern develops individual treatment concepts that combine different procedures in a meaningful way. These holistic concepts lead to particularly harmonious and natural results.
Sculptra treatment is usually painless. Before the injection, we can apply an anesthetic cream or perform local anesthesia. Most patients find the treatment to be well tolerated. Many report only minimal to barely noticeable discomfort during the injections. After the treatment, there may be a slight feeling of pressure or tension, which quickly subsides. Our many years of experience with Sculptra show that the vast majority of patients find the treatment pleasant.
Sculptra® is considered a very safe procedure with minimal side effects. Mild swelling, Redness, or small bruises at the injection sites are normal and subside within a few days. In rare cases, small nodules may form, which usually disappear with regular massage. Infections or allergic reactions are extremely rare. Dr. Lucija Grittern will explain all possible risks to you in detail before the treatment. Thanks to our expertise and careful execution, we minimize possible complications.
After Sculptra treatment, regular massage of the treated areas is particularly important. Follow the 5-5-5 rule: massage for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. Avoid intense exercise and extreme temperatures for the first 24 hours. You should avoid strong sunlight during the first week. Alcohol can increase swelling and should therefore be reduced. You can usually apply makeup again the next day. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions.
The cost of a Sculptra treatment starts at €750. The final price depends on the amount of product required and the number of treatment sessions. During your consultation, Dr. Lucija Grittern will provide you with an individual cost estimate based on your wishes and the scope of treatment. We place great importance on transparency and will inform you in advance of all costs involved. The investment in a professional Sculptra Treatment pays off thanks to its long-lasting result.
