Sculptra
At Real You Clinic, Sculptra® is a collagen-stimulating injectable that gradually restores facial volume, improves skin firmness, and softens wrinkles over time. Ideal for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation, Sculptra helps you achieve a refreshed, youthful look, subtly and effectively.
About
The treatment
Collagen is produced by the body and it’s what makes your skin firm and youthful looking. It’s a support structure for your skin that gives your face volume and shape. From as early as your 20s, your body naturally slows down collagen production and you start to lose volume, making way for lines, wrinkles and folds.
Dr Kathryn has offered Sculptra treatments for over 12 years and has had absolutely amazing results with her patients.
Sculptra is an ideal choice when you need replacement collagen and significant increased facial volume. It does require 3 treatments, each spaced a month apart and 1 treatment per year is recommended after that for maintenance. The results continue to improve gradually over time, lasting over 2 years!

Gradual results
Sculptra works to regenerate deep tissue, replacing lost collagen over time, giving you a natural-looking appearance without giving away that you’ve had treatment. You will notice some visible changes following the first treatment, but an average of three injection sessions over a few months is designed to deliver the unique effects of Sculptra. Results will be more noticeable following each treatment.
Sculptra Aesthetic injections are made from poly-L-lactic acid, which helps to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds that appear with ageing. It’s a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that naturally stimulates your cells to produce their own collagen and has been used by physicians for decades.
Within several weeks after injection a natural, soft increase in dermal thickness begins as cells are stimulated to produce their own collagen, which continues for several weeks to give you a subtle, natural look. That’s one of the benefits of Sculptra – it’s less obvious you’ve had any work done compared to other dermal fillers because it takes time to treat the underlying causes of facial ageing.
Age doesn’t have to look the way it used to. It’s more subtle. More gradual. Shouldn’t your anti-age be just the same?
Collagen loss is a symptom common during menopause. If you are suffering from symptoms and are considering hormone therapy, please visit our Hormone Replacement Therapy page to find out more.
Scultpra is not recommended to treat glabella, front headlines and lips. Dr Kathryn can advise you on a more suitable treatment if those are your areas of concern.
At the Real You Clinic, Dr Kathryn offers Sculptra as a complete treatment course rather than a one-off procedure. Most patients require a minimum of 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with your images and consultation helping Dr Kathryn determine the most suitable plan for you.
Please note: we are only able to accept new Sculptra patients residing within the Twickenham or London area, as multiple clinic visits are required.
I have always had a thin face and as I have aged my face has lost what fat I did have and become very scrawny. Dr Kathryn said that I had also lost the collagen in my face that supports my skin.
She recommended that I had a treatment called Sculptra which helps to replenish lost collagen. I am delighted with the results as now I have a little fuller face which is so natural looking as opposed to my face looking like a puffed up bobblehead. I will definitely have the recommended top ups.

Real You Clinic

So glad I found Real You clinic!I was looking at 2 other clinics in London which I didn't feel comfortable using - their … More communication felt very factory like and impersonal, not to mention their expensive quotes for the under eye vein removal treatment I wanted.As soon as I got in touch with Real You, it was a different feeling. I managed to get an appointment shortly after. Dr Kathryn is kind and welcoming, she gives background on herself and her clinic. The clinic itself is very cute, fresh and more of a boutique style set up.Dr Kathryn took the time to explain the treatment, take in depth photos, explain what would happen .etc. I'm very happy with the results and will be going back for other treatments. Highly recommend.
