If you are looking for a subtle, long-lasting way to restore volume, improve skin texture, and refresh your appearance, Sculptra may be the treatment you have not considered yet. With Galderma's relaunch, now is the perfect time to explore what makes this injectable so unique and why Define by Marie Dolan is the trusted choice for treatment.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add instant volume, Sculptra works gradually by encouraging your skin to produce its own collagen. The active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, is biocompatible and safely absorbed by the body over time, helping to rebuild structure and support from within.
This process results in a natural-looking lift and smoother skin over several weeks, offering subtle yet transformative results.
How Do Sculptra Injections Work?
During a Sculptra treatment, a trained practitioner injects small amounts of the product into specific areas of the face. The injections trigger the body’s natural collagen response, gradually restoring volume and firmness.
Because the results appear over time, this treatment is ideal for clients who want to enhance their appearance without looking like they have had work done. Most people need a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart for best results.
Sculptra Treatment Areas: Face
Sculptra is highly versatile and can be used in multiple areas, however, it is mainly treated in the face.
Sculptra face: Restores facial volume in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and around the mouth
At Define by Marie Dolan, each treatment is tailored to suit your needs and goals, ensuring results that still feel like you.
Why Experience Matters with Sculptra
Although Sculptra is regaining popularity across the UK, it is not new to everyone. Marie Dolan has over 10 years of hands-on experience with this product. That level of expertise is rare in the industry and vital for safety and natural outcomes.
Sculptra is not a one-size-fits-all filler. It requires in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy, precise technique, and a strong understanding of how collagen builds over time. Marie’s participation in an additional refresher course in June 2025 ensures she is fully aligned with Galderma’s updated guidelines, allowing her to deliver Sculptra treatments with the highest level of precision and care.
If you are searching for a trusted Sculptra injector, Marie's experience sets her apart.
Sculptra Before and After: What Results to Expect
Sculptra works gradually, so you will not see immediate results. However, within a few weeks of your initial session, you will begin to notice improvements in skin texture and firmness. The most significant changes tend to appear after two to three months, with continued collagen development.
Sculptra before and after transformations often include:
Softer smile lines and marionette lines
Improved facial definition and balance
Restored cheek volume
Smoother, firmer skin with improved elasticity
Sculptra Cost
Sculptra is a personalised treatment, and pricing can vary depending on the area treated and how many sessions are recommended.
At Define by Marie Dolan, we recommend an average of 2-3 sessions. The amount of sessions required will vary amongst individuals and will be confirmed at the point of consultation.
During your consultation, Marie will provide clear guidance on what is needed to achieve your goals, based on your unique skin, anatomy, and budget.
Why Sculptra is Being Relaunched in the UK
Galderma, the pharmaceutical company behind Sculptra, is relaunching the treatment in the UK with updated protocols, improved practitioner training, and renewed awareness of its long-term benefits. This comes at a time when more clients are seeking natural, regenerative options over temporary quick fixes.
This is not a trend. Sculptra is a clinically proven approach to facial rejuvenation, backed by years of use and trusted results.
