Sculptra
Sculptra is an advanced biostimulation treatment that stimulates the skin to naturally produce collagen. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually and provides a long-lasting improvement in skin structure and firmness. The result is a subtle but visible rejuvenation that comes from within.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable substance that is naturally broken down by the body and has been safely used in the medical world for many years. After injection into the deeper skin layers, Sculptra activates the skin's natural collagen process. This makes the skin fuller, firmer, and more elastic, while preserving your natural facial features.
When is Sculptra suitable?
- Volume restoration for reduced fat tissue in the face
- Sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, or temples
- Fine lines and deep folds
- Overall skin aging
- Also suitable for the neck, décolleté, or body (e.g., buttock lift)

FAQs
How often do I need to return for Sculptra?
For the best results, 2 to 3 treatments are usually needed, typically with a minimum of 6 weeks to several months between sessions. After that, an annual maintenance treatment is often sufficient.
How quickly will I see results from Sculptra?
The effect gradually builds up over weeks to months after the treatment. You usually see visible results after about 6 to 12 weeks, with further improvement up to 6 months after the last session.
How long do the results last?
The results of Sculptra can last up to 2 years because it stimulates your body's own collagen production. However, skin naturally continues to age, so repeat treatments are recommended. Maintenance is less frequent than with fillers or Profhilo.
What is the difference between Sculptra, fillers, and Profhilo?
- Sculptra is a biostimulator that stimulates long-term collagen production, ideal for volume loss and skin firming.
- Fillers provide immediate volume or can strengthen skin weaknesses in specific areas.
- Profhilo hydrates and improves skin quality and promotes tissue regeneration.
Sculptra is therefore ideal if you want a natural, gradual rejuvenating effect, especially for loss of firmness in the cheeks, temples, or jawline.
Profhilo
Profhilo is an innovative anti-aging treatment that uniquely hydrates and firms the skin. Unlike fillers, Profhilo does not add volume, but instead stimulates the skin to improve itself. The result? Smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin, without an artificial look.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo contains a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body responsible for skin hydration and elasticity. By injecting it at strategic points in the face, it spreads through the tissue like a "nutritional boost." It activates the production of collagen and elastin, allowing the skin to naturally repair and rejuvenate itself.
What is Profhilo used for?
- Sagging or dull skin
- Fine lines in the face, neck, or décolletage
- Reduced skin elasticity
- Skin aging on hands or arms
Therapy
-
What can you expect?
- Treatment time: approx. 15 minutes
- Number of treatments: depending on your skin type, 2 sessions 4 weeks apart may be recommended (sometimes a 3rd after 8 weeks)
- Recovery time: minimal, slight swelling at injection points possible, which often subsides within 24 hours.
- Results visible: after 4-6 weeks
- Duration of effect: approximately 6-9 months

Safe, subtle and effective
Profhilo is suitable for almost every skin type and is often chosen by people who want natural-looking skin improvement without increased volume or invasive procedures. It is an excellent basic treatment that can also be combined well with other treatments.

FAQs
How long do the results of Profhilo last?
After the second treatment, you usually see a visible effect within 4 to 6 weeks. The result lasts for approximately 6 months. After that, you can have a maintenance treatment to prolong the effect.
Does a Profhilo treatment hurt?
The injections may be a little sensitive, but the needles are thin and usually only 5-6 injection points are used per half of the face. An anesthetic cream can optionally be applied, although this is often not necessary.
What is the difference between Profhilo and fillers?
- Fillers add volume and contours (e.g., to lips or cheekbones).
- Profhilo improves skin quality from within: it makes the skin smoother, firmer, and more hydrated, without adding extra volume.
They complement each other well, but thus have different purposes.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are an innovative form of skin regeneration that repairs and renews the skin at a cellular level. Unlike traditional fillers that merely fill wrinkles, polynucleotides act as 'biostimulators' that activate fibroblasts. This leads to intensive hydration, improved elasticity, and healthy, radiant skin. The result is natural skin improvement that restores tissue quality from within.
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are natural DNA fractions that are biocompatible with human skin. They work through a triple mechanism: they stimulate collagen and elastin production and bind water for deep hydration. This not only makes the skin structure firmer but also healthier and more resilient at a cellular level.
Therapy
-
When are Polynucleotides suitable?
- Skin rejuvenation around the eyes: Ideal for dark circles, fine lines, and sagging eyelids.
- Dull skin texture: Tired skin lacking radiance and vitality.
- Scars and sun damage: For repairing damaged tissue and pigment irregularities.
- Fine lines and wrinkles: On the face, neck, and décolletage.
- Hair loss: Also effective for stimulating the scalp and strengthening hair follicles.
-
What can you expect?
- Treatment time: approx. 20 to 30 minutes.
- Number of treatments: on average 3 sessions with an interval of 2 to 4 weeks.
- Recovery time: minimal; slight redness or small bumps (papules) may remain visible for 24-48 hours.
- Results visible: initial improvement in hydration after a few days; structural improvement after 2 to 4 months.
- Duration of effect: 6 to 12 months (depending on lifestyle and skin condition).

Long-lasting, natural results
Polynucleotides offer the perfect solution for those seeking true skin renewal without altering facial volume. The power of this treatment lies in regeneration: you won't look 'treated,' but your skin will regain its youthful elasticity and texture. It's the ultimate treatment for a fresh, rested appearance.

FAQs
Why do I need multiple sessions?
One session gives the skin a significant boost, but for optimal and long-lasting results, a course of treatments is recommended. We usually advise 3 treatments with intervals of 2 to 4 weeks. This ensures that the fibroblasts remain continuously activated, which leads to a cumulative effect and a stronger skin structure.
When will I start seeing results?
Because polynucleotides stimulate your body to regenerate, and this is therefore a slow process, it is not a "quick fix". Most patients notice an improvement in hydration and radiance after approximately a few weeks. The structural improvement, such as skin tightening and the reduction of fine lines, occurs over a period of several months.
How do polynucleotides differ from regular fillers or skin boosters?
Fillers (based on hyaluronic acid) immediately add physical volume to fill wrinkles or change contours. Skinboosters primarily hydrate the skin superficially. Polynucleotides do neither directly; they are "biostimulators." They instruct skin cells (fibroblasts) to repair themselves and produce collagen and elastin again. The result is therefore not extra volume, but improved skin quality and firmness from within.
Is the treatment painful and what is the recovery time?
The treatment is performed with very fine needles. Most patients experience only a slight stinging sensation. After the treatment, small bumps may be visible at the injection sites, similar to small mosquito bites. These usually disappear completely within 24 to 48 hours as the fluid is absorbed by the tissue. Bruises are possible but will quickly fade.
