SCULPTRA®: GRADUAL, NATURAL FACIAL REJUVENATION FOR VOLUME AND DEFINITION


As we age, it’s often the subtle changes that make the biggest difference to how we look and feel. Loss of volume in the temples and jowls can create a tired, hollow or sagging appearance — even when the rest of the face is healthy.


SUBTLE. NATURAL


At Moreton Aesthetics, , I frequently use Sculptra® to address these changes. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® works by stimulating your own collagen, restoring structure, improving skin quality, and achieving results that look completely natural over time.


Why temples and jowls are often the first areas to show ageing


The temples and jawline are key to facial structure. As we age:

  • Fat pads in the temples shrink, creating hollows

  • The jawline can lose definition, contributing to jowls

  • Skin may appear looser or thinner

  • Fine lines and folds deepen around the lower face


Sculptra® doesn’t just “fill” these areas — it supports the underlying structure, improving the appearance of sagging and hollowness naturally.


How Sculptra® works

Sculptra® is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that gradually stimulates collagen production. Unlike dermal fillers, the effect is gradual, giving the skin:

  • Improved firmness and elasticity

  • Restoration of lost facial volume

  • Smoother contours and softer lines

  • Enhanced overall skin quality


It’s a treatment I often describe as age management in a bottle — supporting your face from within rather than temporarily masking changes.


What Sculptra® can help with


Sculptra® is incredibly versatile and is suitable for multiple areas of concern beyond temples and jowls:

  • Hollow temples: restores volume and youthful contour

  • Jowls and lower face: improves jawline definition

  • Cheeks: subtly lifts and restores mid-face volume

  • Nasolabial folds: softens smile lines naturally

  • Marionette lines: reduces deep creases around the mouth

  • Skin texture and quality: stimulates collagen for firmer, smoother skin


This makes Sculptra® an excellent option for patients who want natural, long-lasting results that improve over several months.


Treatment process


Sculptra® is usually administered over a series of sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Because results develop gradually, most patients notice:

  • Subtle improvements after a few weeks

  • Fuller, firmer skin after a few months

  • Long-lasting results that can persist for up to two years with maintenance


In clinic, I combine Sculptra® with other treatments such as SkinPen® microneedling and Sofwave® for optimal skin quality and contouring, depending on your needs.


Who is suitable for Sculptra®?


Sculptra® is ideal for patients who:

  • Want to improve facial structure and definition without a “done” look

  • Are starting to notice volume loss in the temples, cheeks, or jawline

  • Want subtle, gradual, natural-looking results

  • Are looking to enhance skin quality, firmness, and resilience


It’s not about dramatic change — it’s about ageing gracefully while maintaining your natural appearance.


Supporting Sculptra® with skincare


Even the best treatments work best when paired with medical-grade skincare. I often recommend:

  • Antioxidant serums to protect collagen and skin health

  • Daily SPF to prevent sun-related collagen breakdown

  • Hydrating serums and creams to maintain results and enhance glow


A combined approach ensures your skin stays strong and the treatment lasts as long as possible.


My philosophy with Sculptra®


I always aim for enhancement, not alteration. Sculptra® is about restoring what’s been lost naturally, improving structure, and supporting your skin over time. Patients often tell me that they look fresher, more rested, and subtly lifted — without anyone being able to tell they’ve had anything done.


Is Sculptra® right for you?


If you’re noticing hollowing in the temples, softening of the jawline, or early signs of facial volume loss, a consultation is the best place to start. Together, we can create a personalised plan using Sculptra® alone or in combination with other treatments for optimal results.
