This is a collagen booster that stimulates self-collagen production with PLLA ingredients to gradually restore lost volume and elasticity.
Sculptra is a collagen booster that stimulates the body's collagen production by injecting PLLA (Poly-L-L-Lactic Acid). Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate volume, collagen naturally replenishes over several weeks to months, improving sunken cheeks, temples, and elasticity, resulting in long-lasting effects.
PLLA induces collagen production in the dermis to gradually restore volume and overall elasticity to sunken areas such as the cheeks, temples, and forehead. It is characterized by gradual, natural-looking results rather than immediate effects.
Hyaluronic acid fillers create volume immediately upon injection and have the advantage of shaping specific areas, while Sculptra naturally restores extensive volume and elasticity using autologous collagen and offers long-lasting results.
The procedure is usually performed in 2 to 3 sessions at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks, and the effects accumulate over several months.
It is important to follow the massage instructions to ensure even distribution after injection. Since lumps may form if the solution accumulates in one area, proper dilution and dispersion injection, along with a skilled procedure, are required.
No. It takes time for collagen to build up, so the results appear gradually over several weeks to months, making them natural and long-lasting.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are suitable for volume and shape in specific areas, while Sculptra is suitable for restoring overall volume and elasticity, and they are often used together.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
You can usually return to your daily routine on the same day, and the recovery period for swelling and bruising lasts for several days. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-return care methods and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
