Treatments
Sculptra is an injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume and smooth out wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra offers long-lasting results by gradually enhancing the skin’s structure and firmness.

One of the main universal causes of skin ageing that occurs as the years pass, is loss of collagen. From the age of 20 our body’s collagen production starts to decline at a rate of 1% per year which can lead up to 35% of collagen loss by the age of 55. As a result skin becomes thin, feels less firm and appears dull and sagging.
Sculptra was the first and original collagen stimulator introduced by Galderma (Restylane / Azzalure) within the UK in 1999. It contains poly-L-Lactic acid and unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra goes beyond surface solutions to stimulate your skin’s own collagen (type I & III) production, promising gradual, natural-looking results that don’t just mask, but truly rejuvenate.
The Anti Wrinkle Clinic is a leading aesthetic clinic in central London, offering a wide range of bespoke, non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments by Dr Yiannis Valilas.
Cheeks: Restores volume and enhances contours.
Temples: Fills hollow areas for a more youthful look.
Jawline: Defines and sharpens the jawline.
Nasolabial Folds: Smooths deep folds between the nose and mouth.
The procedure involves a series of injections into the targeted areas. Each session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. Patients may experience slight discomfort, but a topical anaesthetic can be applied to minimise pain. Mild swelling or bruising may occur post-treatment, but these effects typically subside within a few days.
Anti Wrinkle Injections
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles, preventing the formation of wrinkles or softening existing ones. It is most commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle movements, such as forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. The effects of anti wrinkle injections are temporary, typically lasting 3 months. It does not stimulate collagen production or improve skin quality.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are substances, typically made from hyaluronic acid, that are injected beneath the skin's surface to add volume and fullness. They are used to enhance facial features such as lips, cheeks, and jawline. The results from fillers are immediate and can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Unlike Sculptra, fillers provide volume directly into the specific area but do not stimulating the body to produce its own collagen.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that aim to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and texture. They are usually made from hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides or mesotherapy cocktails. They are injected in micro-quantities to hydrate the skin deeply and improve its overall quality rather than to add volume or fill wrinkles. Skin boosters can rejuvenate the skin, making it appear more radiant and youthful. The results are subtler compared to fillers and Botox and are aimed at improving skin condition rather than changing facial contours. Each treatment has its ideal use case, depending on the patient's skin condition, desired outcome, and preference for maintenance. Consulting with a qualified aesthetic professional.
The effects of Sculptra can last up to two years, with maintenance sessions recommended every 18-24 months.
Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, and blood thinners like aspirin and vitamin E for 24 hours before the procedure to minimize the risk of bruising and ensure optimal results.
After receiving Sculptra injections, it is essential to follow the 5-5-5 rule: massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This helps distribute the product evenly and prevents the formation of lumps.
