Advanced collagen-stimulating treatments for natural rejuvenation
Sculptra and Lanluma are two of the most advanced collagen-stimulating injectables available in modern aesthetic medicine. At the practice of Dr. Matteo Vigo, internationally recognised plastic surgeon in Dubai, these treatments are used to restore volume, improve skin quality, and enhance natural contours without relying on traditional fillers. They offer long-lasting, subtle, and progressive results for patients looking for a natural approach to facial and body rejuvenation.
Both Sculptra and Lanluma work by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, helping to gradually rebuild structure and restore youthful density in the treated areas. With Dr. Vigo’s experience and carefully planned techniques, patients enjoy refreshed, balanced, and long-lasting outcomes.
What are Sculptra and Lanluma?
Sculptra and Lanluma are injectables made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that has been used safely in medical applications for decades. When injected into the skin, PLLA stimulates collagen growth deep within the tissue.
Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate volume, these treatments work gradually, delivering subtle improvements over several months. This makes them ideal for patients who want natural enhancement that evolves slowly and looks completely integrated.
Both products are used to:
- Restore facial volume
- Improve skin texture and firmness
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhance natural contours
- Improve overall skin quality
- Provide long-lasting rejuvenation
They can be used on various areas of the face and body, offering a versatile solution for age-related changes or volume loss.
Areas that can be treated
Face
- Cheeks
- Temples
- Jawline
- Mid-face
- Lower face
- Smile lines
- General facial hollowing
These injectables help restore youthful volume, improve skin thickness, and give a natural lift without altering facial expressions.
Neck and décolletage
Sculptra and Lanluma improve crepey skin, firmness, and texture in delicate areas.
Body
They can also be used on areas such as:
- Arms
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Hands
- Hip dips
- Areas affected by weight loss
- Skin laxity
Their collagen-boosting effect helps improve overall tone, smoothness, and elasticity.
Benefits of Sculptra and Lanluma
Patients choose these treatments for several key advantages:
Natural, progressive results
Volume builds gradually, avoiding the sudden, “over-filled” look.
Long-lasting improvement
Results typically last two to three years due to the collagen stimulation effect.
Improved skin quality
Skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more elastic over time.
Suitable for large treatment areas
Excellent for both facial rejuvenation and body contouring.
Low downtime
Most people resume their normal routine immediately after the session.
A safe alternative to traditional fillers
Ideal for patients who prefer a softer, more natural enhancement.
How the treatment works with Dr. Matteo Vigo
Your treatment begins with a personalised consultation. Dr. Vigo analyses your facial structure, skin quality, and goals before creating a customised plan using Sculptra, Lanluma, or a combination of both.
During the procedure:
- A topical or local anaesthetic is applied
- The product is injected into precise tissue layers
- A micro-cannula technique may be used to enhance safety
- The session typically lasts 30–45 minutes
Because collagen develops gradually, most patients require a series of two to three sessions, spaced several weeks apart.
Aftercare and results
Mild swelling or tenderness may appear temporarily. Over the next several weeks, collagen production begins and continues to increase for several months. Patients notice improvements in:
- Volume
- Skin thickness
- Firmness
- Smoothness
- Natural contour
Results continue developing up to six months and last up to two to three years.
Who is a good candidate?
Sculptra and Lanluma are ideal for patients who:
- Want natural-looking rejuvenation
- Prefer gradual results
- Have facial hollowing or volume loss
- Want improved skin texture or firmness
- Have areas of laxity on the body
- Want long-lasting, low-maintenance results
They are suitable for men and women of all ages experiencing early or advanced signs of ageing.
