Facial Biostimulation with Sculptra in Bogotá
Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen biostimulator, a biocompatible substance designed to support the skin’s natural collagen production. Its effects develop gradually over time, helping improve skin quality, firmness, and overall facial support.
Rejuvenate your cheeks, midface, and facial folds with results that may last up to 2 years
Sculptra may be suitable for patients looking to address mild to moderate facial laxity, volume loss, or dull-looking skin without undergoing surgery. At Praesenti, we use a personalized medical-aesthetic approach to support balanced, long-lasting, and natural-looking results tailored to your facial features.
What Can Sculptra Do for Your Skin?
Sculptra supports your skin’s natural regenerative process from within. By progressively stimulating collagen production, it can help improve skin quality over time while preserving a subtle, natural-looking appearance.
Here are some of Sculptra’s most valued benefits:
Stimulates Natural Collagen Production
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra does not simply add volume. Instead, it encourages your skin to gradually produce more collagen, helping improve firmness and elasticity with progressive effects over time.
Progressive and Long-Lasting Results
Sculptra works gradually, allowing facial rejuvenation to develop in a natural-looking way over time. Its effects may last up to 2 years or longer, making it a suitable option for patients seeking visible improvement without frequent treatments.
Improves Skin Firmness and Quality
By supporting the skin’s dermal structure from within, Sculptra can help the skin appear firmer, denser, and smoother in texture. It may be especially beneficial for addressing mild to moderate laxity and broader signs of facial aging.
Preserves Natural Facial Features
The results develop gradually rather than creating an immediate or dramatic change. This allows for a more harmonious evolution, helping preserve your natural facial features while giving the face a fresher, more rested, and rejuvenated appearance.
Helps Soften Wrinkles and Expression Lines
By improving the skin’s structure and internal support, Sculptra may help soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline where volume can gradually decrease over time.
Minimally Invasive, In-Office Treatment
Sculptra is administered through small injections, without surgery or prolonged downtime. It can be a practical option for patients who want to care for their skin and address signs of aging without significantly disrupting their daily routine.
Areas Where We Can Stimulate Collagen
Cheeks and Midface
Sculptra can help restore natural cheek projection and redefine the midface, supporting a firmer, more youthful, and balanced appearance.
Jawline and Chin
Biostimulation in this area can help improve facial definition and create a more balanced profile when there is loss of support or projection around the chin and lower face.
Temples
Sculptra can help restore lost volume in the temples and create a smoother transition between the forehead and cheeks, contributing to a fuller and more refreshed appearance.
Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
These deeper lines around the nose, mouth, and lower face may gradually soften as Sculptra helps strengthen the skin’s underlying structure through collagen stimulation.
Neck and Décolletage
When appropriately indicated, Sculptra can be used in the neck and décolletage to help improve skin texture, firmness, and the appearance of fine lines in areas where the skin tends to be thinner.
Buttocks – Body Aesthetics
Sculptra can also be used as part of body aesthetic treatments for the buttocks. By stimulating collagen production, it may help improve firmness, shape, and overall contour gradually over time.
Combined Treatments for Facial Rejuvenation
Did you know that from around age 25, the body may lose approximately 1% of its collagen each year? By age 45, this can represent a significant reduction in collagen levels.
At Praesenti, we offer a range of treatments and advanced technologies that can be combined according to your individual needs to help address different signs of facial aging through a personalized medical-aesthetic approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen biostimulator, a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that helps stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, it does not primarily provide immediate volume. Instead, it works progressively to help improve skin firmness, density, and overall quality over time.
What Is Sculptra Used For?
Sculptra is used to address skin laxity, volume loss, and signs of aging on both the face and body. It may be suitable for patients seeking a gradual, natural-looking, and long-lasting improvement without surgery.
Common treatment areas include the cheeks, jawline, buttocks, temples, neck, décolletage, and abdomen.
Sculptra vs. Radiesse: What’s the Difference?
Both are collagen biostimulators, but they are formulated differently. Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), while Radiesse is based on calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA).
Sculptra works more gradually, supporting progressive and long-lasting improvements over time. Radiesse can provide more immediate structural support while also stimulating collagen production. The best option depends on the treatment area, your facial or body characteristics, and your aesthetic goals.
Is Sculptra the Same as Biopolymers?
No. Sculptra is not a biopolymer. It is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance used in aesthetic medicine and approved for specific uses by regulatory authorities such as the FDA.
Biopolymers, on the other hand, generally refer to unauthorized or non-medical injectable substances that may be associated with serious reactions and long-term complications.
How Much Does Sculptra Cost in Bogotá?
The price depends on the number of vials required. For facial Sculptra, the amount needed is determined according to the treatment areas and the degree of volume loss.
Our current volume-based pricing is:
- 1–2 vials: COP $2,500,000 per vial
- 3–4 vials: COP $2,000,000 per vial
- 5 or more vials: COP $1,800,000 per vial
A personalized medical assessment is recommended to determine how many vials may be appropriate for your treatment plan.
Does Sculptra Have Risks or Side Effects?
As with any medical-aesthetic procedure, Sculptra may cause mild side effects such as redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. These effects are usually temporary and are less common when the treatment is performed by a qualified medical professional.
Is Sculptra a Collagen Biostimulator?
Yes. Sculptra is a dermal collagen biostimulator, which means it does not work like a traditional filler. Instead, it stimulates your body’s own collagen production.
This gradual regenerative process can help improve skin density, firmness, and volume, with results that develop progressively over time.
