Summary
- Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which stimulates the skin to produce new collagen. The skin gradually becomes firmer and fuller over 4–12 weeks.
- It suits skin that is starting to sag and lose firmness, or overall facial hollowness, rather than correcting a single groove.
- At Vinfinity Clinic in Udon Thani, it costs THB 24,995 per vial and is usually planned as 2–3 sessions about 4 weeks apart.
How Sculptra works
Straight after injection, the skin looks slightly fuller from the water used to mix the product, but this settles within a few days. PLLA then gradually stimulates the body to build collagen around the treated area. The real result becomes clear after several weeks and can last up to about 2 years, depending on the person.
Because the result builds gradually, people around you will notice your skin looks firmer and fresher, without feeling that your face has suddenly changed.
How is Sculptra different from filler?
| Sculptra (PLLA) | HA filler | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Stimulates the skin to build its own collagen | Adds gel to replace lost volume |
| When you see results | Gradually over 4–12 weeks | Visible straight after injection |
| Suited to | Firmness and fullness across the whole face | Structural support or targeted areas, such as under the eyes, chin and lips |
| How long it lasts | Up to about 2 years | About 6–12 months |
| Reversible with enzyme | Cannot be dissolved with enzyme | Can be dissolved with enzyme |
Many people do well with a combination, for example building structure with filler and then using Sculptra for skin firmness, or pairing it with New Doublo 2.0 lifting.
Who it suits, and who it doesn't
- Good candidates: skin that is starting to sag, a face that looks hollow or flat, thin skin, and a wish for gradual, long-lasting results.
- Use caution or not suitable: pregnancy or breastfeeding, infection or inflammation in the treatment area, a tendency to form raised scars, or wanting to see results right away for an important event coming up soon.
Process and number of sessions
- Assessment The doctor looks at your laxity, skin thickness and facial structure, and takes standard photos to compare results.
- Planning You are told the number of vials, the number of sessions and the full cost before starting. Most people need 2–3 sessions about 4 weeks apart.
- Product check in front of you Thai FDA-registered product, mixed to standard before injection.
- Injection Takes about 20 minutes, with local anaesthetic for comfort.
- Follow-up The doctor reviews your result and compares photos with your baseline before deciding on the next session.
After Sculptra
- Massage the treated area following the 5-5-5 rule: 5 times a day, 5 minutes each time, for 5 days, so the product spreads evenly.
- You may have mild swelling, bruising or tenderness for 2–3 days.
- At first your face will look fuller from the mixing water, then this settles. The real result gradually returns over the following weeks.
- If you feel a lump, pain gets worse, or you notice anything unusual, send the doctor a photo on LINE straight away.

Straight after the injection your face looks fuller from the water used to mix the product, and this goes down within a few days. The collagen effect then becomes gradually clearer over 4–12 weeks.
How long does Sculptra last?
Results can last up to about 2 years, depending on your age, skin condition and how you look after your skin.
Can Sculptra cause lumps?
Lumps can form if the product is mixed or injected incorrectly. The doctor mixes it to standard, injects it in the appropriate layer and asks you to massage following the 5-5-5 rule afterwards to reduce the risk.
How is Sculptra different from dermal filler?
Filler adds gel for an immediate result in a specific area, while Sculptra stimulates your skin to build its own collagen across the face. Results develop gradually and last longer. Many people combine the two.
Results vary from person to person, depending on skin condition and the doctor's clinical judgement. Collagen-stimulator injections carry risks. Treatment should be performed by a doctor in a licensed medical facility.
