Sculptra — WOOA Plastic Surgery
Sculptra is an injectable product made of PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid), manufactured by Galderma. The clinic explains that PLLA stimulates fibroblasts in the skin to induce the body's own collagen production, describing it as a collagen booster in which volume develops over time, unlike filler that fills immediately. Price: KRW 650,000~ As listed by the clinic: treatment time 20–30 minutes, numbing cream, recovery 'same-day recovery possible', duration 1–2 years. The clinic says changes can be felt over 1–3 months, and this varies between individuals.

Who this is for
- Those concerned that loss of facial volume makes them look older
- Those with thin skin or reduced firmness
- Those wanting a treatment whose changes appear slowly and gradually
How it is done
At consultation the areas of volume loss and lines are identified; numbing cream is applied and diluted PLLA is injected evenly into the lower dermis or subcutaneous layer. According to the clinic, right at the end of the procedure some volume appears temporarily from the water content, which is absorbed within a few days; the PLLA particles then stimulate surrounding cells and collagen production proceeds gradually. The clinic states that PLLA is broken down and absorbed by the body over time.
