Dr Kris brings more than 12 years of clinical experience and a detailed knowledge of facial anatomy to every Sculptra treatment at Kriniko Medical Aesthetics. Because Sculptra works with your own biology rather than adding instant volume, it rewards careful planning: the right vial count, the right dilution and the right depth, mapped across a full course.
If your face looks flatter, thinner or more drawn than it used to, and you'd rather rebuild structure than chase individual lines, Sculptra may be the right treatment for you.
Sculptra at its best is invisible. Dr Kris uses it to restore the scaffolding your face has lost, so skin sits where it used to, rather than adding weight that can make a face look heavier than it should.
Treatment is mapped across the areas where support has been lost, so the result reads as firmer, better-quality skin rather than added bulk.
Most patients need two or three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Dr Kris is honest about the vials and timeline your result will realistically take.
Sculptra rebuilds structure. Where skin quality, hydration or expression lines also need attention, it can be combined with polynucleotides, Profhilo or anti-wrinkle injections.
Whether you want a full-face collagen reset, lifted cheeks and temples or a firmer lower face, Dr Kris creates a personalised Sculptra plan built around how your face has changed.
The most popular way to use Sculptra. Poly-L-lactic acid is distributed across the upper, mid and lower face to rebuild collagen where support has been lost, restoring the underlying framework instead of targeting single lines.
Because the change happens gradually as your own collagen forms, there is no sudden difference for others to notice. Most patients complete a course of two or three sessions, then simply look well-rested for months afterwards.
Hollow temples and flattened cheeks are two of the earliest signs of facial volume loss, and both can make an otherwise healthy face look tired and drawn. Sculptra rebuilds collagen in these areas to restore soft, natural fullness.
Because support is regenerated in the mid-face, nose-to-mouth lines often soften as a secondary benefit, without filler being placed directly into the fold. Dr Kris treats both sides in proportion so your face stays balanced as the result develops.
As collagen declines, the lower face loses its crispness: the jawline softens, early jowling appears and marionette lines deepen. Sculptra can rebuild support along the pre-jowl area and lower cheek to firm the whole region.
This is a gradual, structural approach rather than instant contouring, which suits patients who want a fresher lower face without a heavier, overfilled look. Dr Kris can also advise on treating the neck and décolletage where skin quality is a concern.
Knowing how a Sculptra course unfolds, and how gradually results appear, helps you feel at ease and judge your progress fairly.
Dr Kris reviews your medical history, assesses where volume and firmness have been lost and explains how many vials and sessions your goals are likely to need, with time to consider it before going ahead.
Vials are reconstituted in advance and placed in the deep layers of the face using a fine needle or cannula, with numbing cream for comfort. Each session takes around 30 to 45 minutes, typically four to six weeks apart.
You'll massage the treated areas at home for the first few days to keep the product evenly distributed. Mild swelling settles quickly, and your results are reviewed as collagen builds over the following months.
Sculptra doesn't work overnight. Changes usually start to show from around six weeks, build over three to six months as new collagen forms, and can last up to two years once a full course is complete.
Temples, cheeks and mid-face regain natural fullness.
