    Biostimulator

    Sculptra in Karlsruhe

    Poly-L-lactic acid for natural facial collagen renewal

    Medically reviewed by the Derma Luma medical team · Last updated: October 2026

    What is Sculptra?

    Sculptra® is the classic biostimulator – a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) product that doesn't deliver immediate volume but stimulates your body's own collagen production over months. The result is a natural, gradual rejuvenation from within that lasts 2–3 years.

    At our Karlsruhe practice we use Sculptra specifically to contour cheeks, temples, the jawline and to tighten facial skin. Unlike classic hyaluronic fillers, Sculptra creates real structural improvement, not an "overfilled" look.

    Treatment Areas

    Applications

    Sculptra gradually rebuilds natural cheek contour through collagen stimulation – ideal for age-related volume loss.

    Hollow temples are subtly and naturally restored. The result looks like 'before' – not 'treated'.

    Weakening contours along the jawline are tightened. Overall skin quality also becomes visibly denser and firmer.
