Sculptra is an anti-ageing injectable treatment that can smooth the skin, restore more youthful contours to the face, improve skin tone or be used to enhance your features. It is particularly effective at treating very deep wrinkles and folds and results are long-lasting, giving it the popular name, the Liquid Facelift.

Sculptra has been used as an anti-ageing treatment for more than 20 years across the world. It can fill and correct ageing concerns and facial irregularities by using a biodegradable material known as poly-l-lactic acid that corrects the deepest of creases and wrinkles. Studies have shown that Sculptra can even correct lip atrophy, a condition that causes facial fat loss.

Sculptra does not require skin testing prior to use and it may be safely combined with other non-invasive aesthetic treatments such as Wrinkle Injections and dermal fillers, to give you an immediate improvement while the long-term effects of Sculptra are being produced.

During your consultation, we will discuss your ageing concerns and whether Sculptra will address these issues. During your Sculptra procedure, we use topical local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area to minimise any mild discomfort you may feel although Sculptra is injected using a fine needle.

Sculptra works by stimulating collagen production in the skin and fills in volume that has been lost with age. Results are gradual and, depending on the level of improvement desired and the severity of the problem, anywhere between three to five monthly treatments may be needed. Once the desired look is achieved, Sculptra produces long-lasting treatments, with results typically lasting longer than two years.

After three treatments, your face will look fuller and fine lines and wrinkles will appear softened. However, these are not the true effects and this volume will subside slightly as the water found in Sculptra™ is absorbed into the body.

You can expect to see clear improvements six weeks after initial treatment and this will continue to improve with each treatment. As your body begins to produce increased facial collagen, the connective tissue where ageing has had its effects will begin to naturally rebuild, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines.

BOOK A CONSULTATION

Am I a suitable candidate for Sculptra?

Sculptra is intended for restoration or correction of the signs of facial fat, whether that’s due to ageing, illness or as a result of extreme weight loss. It can also be used to enhance facial features in younger patients.

Is Sculptra safe?

Poly-l-lactic acid is a synthetic material that is biocompatible, which means it does not harm the body and no skin testing is required before use. It is also bioabsorbable which means it is easily broken down by the body. It has been used safely in medicine for over 25 years in dissolvable stitches and soft tissue implants.

Is Sculptra painful?

There may be some slight discomfort, but we apply a topical anaesthetic cream prior to your treatment to minimise any discomfort.

Will I see immediate results after my Sculptra treatment?

Immediately after your first session, there will be swelling from the injections and the water component in Sculptra and that will add volume to your face. After a few days, the swelling will subside as the water is absorbed by your body and your face may appear as it did prior to treatment. However, over the next couple of weeks Sculptra will stimulate collagen production, restoring lost volume.

At that point, you can decide if you require another Sculptra treatment to produce the desired effect. Patients love the gradual and natural rejuvenating effects of Sculptra.

How much does Sculptra cost?

A single treatment will cost £450. Most patients will require at least two treatments to see the maximum benefits.

Typically, you will start to see the results after a week or two post treatment. After you’ve completed the treatment programme, there will be a noticeable improvement in skin quality and health. Results can last 12 to 18 months and then we advise you follow a maintenance programme.

I have been living with scarring above my upper lip, as a result of electrolysis treatment 25 years ago, in the form of a deep vertical line and small indentations in the skin. I sought help from Wimpole Aesthetics, and from the moment that I entered the small, personal clinic I was totally put at ease and welcomed by the extremely professional and friendly team. I received a course of Mesotherapy and Dermapen treatment and am absolutely delighted with the results. I had almost given up on ever having smooth line-free skin above my upper lip again. I highly recommend letting Wimpole Aesthetics take care of you.

Sally, KentMesotherapy and Dermapen Treatment

Having lived in Australia for over 10 years, my skin had suffered mild sun-damage and had developed a lot of discolouration on my face in particular. Also, as I approached the age of 40, I noticed a lot of wrinkles appearing! I decided to have Microdermabrasion treatment and the improvements after just 3 treatments were extremely encouraging. I have booked a further 2 treatments in coming months and I am so excited about seeing further benefits to the look and texture of my skin.

Roseanne, West LondonMicrodermabrasion treatment

I have nothing but praise for the team at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London. I had been very nervous about having my Smart Lipo treatment last year, however, Dr Berkowitz was highly professional at all times and provided me with great advice and treatment. I was delighted with the results that were achieved during the procedure and it has left me feeling so much more confident about my body. I would certainly recommend the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre to anybody considering this procedure or a similar aesthetic treatment.

I had read about Thermage Skin Rejuvenation in a beauty magazine and decided to do some additional research on the internet. I found the website for Wimpole Aesthetics and contacted them discreetly via their online forms. Within a matter of minutes, I had a response from the receptionist at the clinic and she explained a little more about the procedure. I decided to book a private consultation to see Doctor Berkowitz and a few weeks later I had my skin tightening treatment. It was a great success and I’m so much happier with the general appearance and feel of my skin. The wrinkling around my eyes and on my neck is much improved and, as clichéd as it sounds, I feel years younger.

After years of worry about my “saddlebags”, I found Dr Berkowitz at Wimpole Aesthetics. He was extremely professional, but at the same time extremely friendly and answered all of my questions about the Vaser Lipo procedure. It has been 6 weeks since the procedure and I am so happy with how my body is looking. I also cannot forget to mention his wife Carol and nurses Jackie and Christina – they are brilliant!

Tina, LondonVaser Lipo fat reduction treatment

I read about the new Vaser Lipo treatment in a men’s magazine and was instantly interested. As Dr Berkowitz was one of the only specialists in the country providing the treatment, it was a natural progression to visit him for a consultation at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre. I found his advice and knowledge first-class and his staff made me feel very at ease. As such, I went ahead with the treatment and, in the end, a combination of the Vaser Lipo and Smart Lipo techniques were used to treat me. There has been no looking back since and my dream of having a six-pack has finally come true!

Ricardo Portland, Dulwich, LondonVaser Lipo body contouring treatment

I recently had Vaser Lipo on several areas of my body… my stomach, arms and chin. I found the entire process painfree and I am thoroughly enjoying the remarkable improvements to my body shape.

Charlotte Cole, FarnboroughVaser Lipo body contouring treatment

I found that no matter how often I trained or how strictly I dieted, I could not shift the layer of fat around the bottom of my stomach – therefore leaving me with a bulge which I found most unattractive. Not keen on liposuction, I had spent a lot of time researching alternative methods of getting rid of my unwanted fat, and by chance, I stumbled across Vaser Lipo. I booked in for a free consultation with Dr Berkowitz at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London and after a friendly and honest assessment, I went ahead with the treatment. I saw instant results, however, the real changes occurred in the 4 – 12 weeks following the procedure. A huge thanks to all of the staff at the clinic for enabling me to achieve the look and body that I have always wanted!
