Sculptra & Julaine: Collagen Scaffolders
What are Sculptra & Julaine?
Sculptra is a powerful collagen stimulator made of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), which is naturally found in the skin, too. It is not a filler, but a "seed" for your own collagen production. The results are entirely your own tissue. It restores the dense, structural collagen (Type 1) that creates the "thick" skin of youth.
Julaine is a newer generation PLLA biostimulator. It uses uniform microspheres to provide a predictable scaffold for collagen growth. It is similar to Sculptra but engineered with smooth-particle technology for rapid integration.
How Do They Work?
Micro-particles of PLLA are injected deep into the skin. As they slowly dissolve, they trigger a controlled inflammatory response that recruits fibroblasts to surround the particles with new, strong collagen. Micro-particles elicit a controlled inflammatory response that recruits fibroblasts to encapsulate the particles in Type I Collagen.
With Julaine, the "smooth sphere" structure allows for a more immediate glow and hydration effect alongside the long-term structural collagen building, often with less massage requirement than traditional PLLA.
Treatment Applications?
Sculptra is supreme for Volume Loss, Skin Tightening, and Skin Thinning.
Julaine is suitable for Deep Skin folds (Nasolabial), Skin Tightening, and Accordion Lines (Smile lines on cheeks).
Treatment Process
Sessions: 2–3 sessions, spaced 6 weeks apart.
Downtime: Low (swelling for 24–48 hours, "5-5-5" massage required with Sculptra).
Discomfort: Low, as we use the smallest and thinnest world’s needles for maximum comfort.
Sculptra/Julaine & Skingevity?
They reverse the Collagen Atrophy Biomarker. After age 20, you lose 1% of collagen per year. Sculptra & Julaine effectively reset this curve, physically thickening the dermis. A thicker dermis is a biologically younger dermis, more resistant to UV damage and folding. By stimulating the deep reticular dermis, these treatments restore the mechanical tension of the skin. High dermal tension is a hallmark of young biological age; Julaine and Sculptra help re-tension the skin lattice from within.
Treatment Advantages?
These treatments restores the deep structural volume lost with age (bone resorption and fat pad atrophy). The results last 2+ years because the volume created is your own tissue, not a gel. They improve skin quality (glow/thickness) simultaneously with volume restoration.
