Sculptra Treatment in Lima, Peru
Rebuild your skin's collagen naturally with poly-L-lactic acid. Long-lasting facial rejuvenation — from ~$400 USD per vial (vs $1,800+ in the US).
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable collagen biostimulator that uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to gradually rebuild the collagen your skin loses with age. Rather than adding volume artificially, Sculptra works with your biology to restore your skin's own structural foundation — delivering results that look completely natural because they are your own collagen.
After age 30, we lose approximately 1% of our collagen per year. This progressive loss leads to facial volume deflation, sagging skin, and deepening lines. Sculptra addresses the root cause by stimulating fibroblasts — the cells responsible for collagen production — to generate new collagen fibers over several months. The result is a gradual, natural restoration of facial volume and firmness.
At Elyzea in Miraflores, Lima, Sculptra treatments are performed by our experienced medical team under the supervision of Dr. Geldres, a board-certified plastic surgeon. For international patients, Sculptra in Lima offers the same FDA-approved product used worldwide at a fraction of US prices, with our bilingual team ensuring clear English communication throughout.

How Does Sculptra Work?
The Sculptra procedure at Elyzea takes place in a comfortable clinical environment. Each session typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes.
Consultation and planning: Our medical team assesses your facial volume, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. A treatment plan is designed including the number of vials and sessions recommended, and the specific injection points mapped to your anatomy.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed and disinfected. Topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. The Sculptra powder is reconstituted with sterile water and lidocaine according to strict protocols.
Injection: Using fine needles or cannulas, Sculptra is injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer at predetermined points. The injection technique (linear threading, depot, or cross-hatch) is selected based on the treatment area and desired effect.
Post-injection massage: The treated areas are massaged immediately after injection to ensure even product distribution — a critical step for optimal results. You will be instructed to continue the "5-5-5" massage protocol at home: massage the treated area 5 times per day, for 5 minutes, for 5 days.
Follow-up: Subsequent sessions are scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart. Each session builds upon the previous one, progressively increasing collagen density and volume.
Who Is Sculptra For?
Sculptra is ideal for patients who want to address age-related volume loss and skin quality decline with results that develop gradually and naturally. It is typically recommended for patients in their late thirties through sixties.
Primary treatment areas: Temples (hollowing), cheeks (mid-face volume loss), nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline (pre-jowl sulcus), chin (projection and contour).
Extended areas: Neck, décolletage, hands, and even body areas such as buttocks for non-surgical augmentation.
Ideal candidate: Individuals who have noticed gradual facial volume loss, thinning skin, or deepening lines and want a natural-looking, long-lasting solution. Sculptra is particularly popular with patients who prefer the "aging gracefully" approach — subtle, progressive improvement rather than dramatic change.
Not recommended for: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients with active skin infections, those with a known allergy to PLLA or product components, individuals with a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring. Sculptra should not be injected into the lips or periorbital area. Our medical team evaluates each case individually.
Results & Recovery
Sculptra's gradual approach to collagen restoration means your results unfold naturally — people notice you look refreshed and youthful, but can't quite identify what changed.
Immediate post-treatment: There may be subtle initial volume from the water used to reconstitute the product. This volume decreases over the first few days as the water is absorbed — this is normal and expected.
Collagen building phase: Over the following 4 to 12 weeks, new collagen gradually forms around the PLLA microparticles. You will notice progressive improvement in volume, firmness, and skin quality with each session.
Peak results: Full results are typically visible 3 to 6 months after completing all sessions. The improvement is cumulative — each session adds to the previous one.
Duration: Sculptra results can last up to 2 years or more. The newly formed collagen is your own tissue and fades naturally and gradually over time.
Recovery: Minimal downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at injection points is common and resolves within 24 to 48 hours. The 5-5-5 massage protocol is essential for even product distribution. You can resume normal activities immediately, including sightseeing in Lima.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sculptra
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance. When injected, the PLLA microparticles create a structural framework that stimulates your body's fibroblasts to produce new collagen, gradually restoring lost facial volume and improving skin firmness and texture.
While hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate volume by physically filling space, Sculptra stimulates your body to rebuild its own collagen over time. Results appear gradually over 2 to 3 months but can last up to 2 years or more — significantly longer than most HA fillers.
A typical Sculptra protocol involves 2 to 3 sessions spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the degree of volume loss and your aesthetic goals. Our medical team designs a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Sculptra results can last up to 2 years or longer. The PLLA particles are gradually absorbed, but the collagen they stimulated remains. Results fade naturally and gradually. Many patients choose an annual maintenance session.
Sculptra is typically reconstituted with lidocaine, which significantly reduces discomfort. Topical numbing cream can also be applied beforehand. Most patients describe the procedure as very tolerable.
Recovery is minimal. Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur for 24 to 48 hours. An important part of aftercare is the 5-5-5 massage rule: massage the treated area 5 times a day for 5 minutes for 5 days to ensure even product distribution.
Sculptra is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with active skin infections, patients with a known allergy to any component, or those with a history of keloid scarring. It should not be injected into the lips or around the eyes.
