Sculptra in The Hague
With Sculptra, we can smooth wrinkles, such as a deep nasolabial fold and sad marionette lines, by boosting volume and firmness. This is because this injectable consists of a biodegradable material that stimulates the production of collagen in your body. Collagen improves skin texture, thickens your skin, gives back volume and thus softens lines and wrinkles.
You will enjoy this treatment longer than, say, hyaluronic acid fillers, although it is not equally good for all parts of the face. Lips or tear ducts are better treated with filler, cheeks and temples (where volume loss often draws) are good for Sculptra.
Because Sculptra stimulates your body to stimulate collagen, it does take longer to see results than, say, a filler treatment. On the other hand, the effects of Sculptra do last much longer. On average, you will enjoy your treatment for 24-48 months, especially if you maintain it periodically.
Furthermore, it is generally less pricey because your body does part of the work to restore volume, namely collagen production. This is much more effective than trying to regain the same amount of volume with hyaluronic acid fillers alone.
At our clinic in The Hague, we can achieve very natural results with Sculptra. Because the collagen in your skin increases gradually, your appearance does not suddenly change very drastically within a short period of time. That makes the treatment, in combination with its natural materials and mechanism, ideal for people who want a subtle change and a fresh look back.
Sculptra can be done in The Hague or at our clinic near Rotterdam, in Bergschenhoek. Both locations are easily accessible from Voorburg, Leidschendam, Waddinxveen, Zevenhuizen and Zoetermeer. We therefore cordially invite you to a non-binding consultation.

What is a Sculptra treatment?
Sculptra is a biostimulator containing poly-L-lactic acid, a substance that stimulates the skin to produce its own collagen. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra doesn't add volume immediately, but gradually restores the skin from within. After a few weeks to months, you'll notice the skin becoming firmer, fuller, and more elastic. The results are subtle, natural-looking, and often last for several years. At SkinSurgery, our doctors always carefully assess whether this treatment is suitable for your skin and needs.
When and for how long will you see results from Sculptra?
After your Sculptra treatment, your body needs to do the work of producing more collagen. The first visible changes are visible on average three months after your treatment. After four to six months after your treatment, the results are often optimal.
You will then enjoy your Sculptra treatment for 2-3 years.
What are possible risks of Sculptra treatment?
You may feel bumps under the skin immediately after the treatment. This is often swelling and will disappear within four weeks. If the bump remains noticeable for longer, it may be a small accumulation of the material used (polu-L-lactic acid) that has not been able to distribute evenly. These bumps take longer to disappear completely.
If a Sculptra bump does develop, it can cause discoloration of the skin. There are known cases where these bumps, also known as granulomas, have developed a year after the treatment. They can occur with an incorrect injection technique or when the area has not been massaged sufficiently. However, there are dilution massage techniques that can help to remedy Sculptra side effects if they occur. It is therefore extremely important to have your Sculptra treatment performed by a specialized cosmetic doctor.
Finally, keloid formation and hypertrophic scars can occur after a Sculptra treatment. Sculptra works by stimulating collagen; the biggest cause of keloid formation. If you are sensitive to this, consult your doctor to see if a Sculptra treatment is suitable for you.
How does sculptra treatment work?
A Sculptra treatment consists of a number of injections that are performed by a doctor. Before the treatments, your goals are discussed and the areas that need to be treated are determined. Based on this, the injection sites are marked where the Sculptra is injected. For many people, it is a painless, quick treatment that takes about 30 minutes. After the injection, the area is briefly massaged so that the Sculptra can spread well and any bumps are prevented. You can continue to massage the area yourself for the first week after the treatment. The doctor will show you how.
You can often resume your daily activities immediately after your treatment. It is normal to see extra volume in the areas where the injection was performed. This will disappear within a few days. The same applies to any bruising and swelling. If necessary, you can camouflage these with some make-up.
What is the difference between Radiesse and Sculptra?
Radiesse and Sculptra belong to the biostimulators, a category of injectables that stimulate the skin to produce new collagen. However, there are clear differences:
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite. This instantly fills areas where volume is lacking and ensures long-term collagen production. You'll see results immediately, which will continue to improve.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid. This product doesn't fill the skin immediately, but stimulates the skin to produce collagen over weeks to months. The effect therefore builds gradually, often after several treatments.
Both treatments provide firmer, smoother skin and a natural result, but the choice depends on your wishes and medical situation. Our doctors will advise you on this during your consultation.
What is the best clinic for a Sculptra treatment?
A Sculptra treatment requires experience and precision. The best clinic is therefore one where expert doctors work, where only safe and original products are used, and where you receive personalized guidance. From intake to aftercare. At SkinSurgery Clinics, we meet all these requirements. Our doctors have extensive experience with biostimulators like Sculptra and take the time to develop a treatment plan with you that suits your skin and needs.
What is the aftercare after a Sculptra treatment?
To ensure optimal results and a gradual, long-lasting effect of Sculptra, it is important to follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions. Recommendations for aftercare include the following:
Massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for the first 5 days after your treatment. Do this as directed by your doctor. Use a moisturizer to reduce friction during the massage.
Apply a cold compress wrapped in gauze or cloth (do not apply ice directly to the skin) for the first 24 hours after your treatment. This will help reduce any swelling.
You may wear makeup for a few hours after your Sculptra treatment, provided there are no complications (open wounds or bleeding).
Avoid sun exposure and UV tanning lamps until swelling and redness have subsided.
Avoid saunas/steam baths for 24 hours.
The effect of the Sculptra treatment will be visible after approximately 6 weeks.
For the best results, 2 or more (repeat) treatments are recommended. The doctor will discuss with you how many treatments you may need for your desired result. The effect of Sculptra remains visible for an average of 2 years. However, this depends on age, lifestyle and each person's personal collagen production.
