NATURAL. SUBTLE. YOU.
When the face loses fullness and firmness, targeted collagen stimulation can help support its natural balance. At DIVINE Medica in Munich, Sculptra treatment is carefully planned to achieve gradual rejuvenation.
As collagen declines, the cheeks may look flatter and facial contours softer. Sculptra stimulates the body’s own collagen production and may gradually support fullness and skin firmness. At DIVINE Medica in Munich, this treatment is a particular area of focus for FA Dr. Med. (univ. Belgrad) Darko Nikolic. The aim is to restore natural facial balance gradually over weeks and months.
Sculptra is an injectable collagen stimulator based on poly-L-lactic acid. After treatment, the tissue response supports the formation of the body’s own collagen fibres. Fullness and firmness in suitable areas may therefore improve gradually. The fullness seen immediately after treatment is partly due to the liquid and is not yet the final result.
Sculptra may be suitable when age-related volume loss and reduced skin firmness are the main concerns and you prefer gradual change. Your facial shape, skin quality and previous filler treatments help determine suitability. A tendency to prominent scarring is also considered. The aim is a gradual increase in fullness that suits your proportions.
Before Sculptra, allergies, previous fillers and a tendency to prominent scarring are carefully assessed. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are also part of the medical consultation. Unlike a hyaluronic acid filler, Sculptra cannot be specifically dissolved with hyaluronidase, so careful assessment of suitability and advance planning are especially important.
Small bruises, mild swelling and tenderness may occur temporarily after treatment. Persistent nodules, delayed inflammation, infection or uneven results should be medically assessed. Rare vascular complications can seriously affect tissue or vision. Severe pain, unusual skin discolouration or visual symptoms therefore require immediate medical attention.
Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur. Persistent nodules, delayed inflammation, infection or uneven results are possible. Accidental injection into a blood vessel can cause tissue damage or serious visual complications. Seek urgent help for severe unusual pain, skin discolouration or visual changes.
Your Sculptra plan identifies suitable facial areas and the appropriate amount of product, with follow-up to assess gradual collagen formation.
Your natural facial balance guides the plan. Skin firmness, the distribution of facial volume and previous treatments help us determine how much treatment is appropriate overall. As a general guide, around one vial per decade of age may sometimes be considered for the total course. This is not a fixed dose or an amount per session; the assessment, treatment area, product instructions and your progress guide the decision.
Sculptra is prepared for your treatment according to the product instructions. The selected areas are cleansed and disinfected, and local anaesthesia can be added if needed. Before treatment, we explain the planned injection sites and gradual increase in fullness again in person.
The prepared Sculptra is placed precisely in suitable tissue planes in the agreed facial areas. The amount of product and injection sites follow your individual plan for gradually increasing fullness. Afterwards, you receive personalised instructions on massage and care during the first few days.
The immediate tissue response is checked at the end. Later appointments focus on collagen formation and changes in facial balance. Additional treatment is planned only after progress has been assessed so that the total amount remains appropriate for your response to treatment.
Previous fillers and recent skin treatments are relevant before Sculptra, as are allergies and medications. Please bring this information and do not change prescribed medicines on your own. If you have herpes, skin infection or inflammation, we assess whether the appointment should go ahead.
Massage is demonstrated to you personally. If your doctor considers it appropriate for you based on the assessment, the individual practice protocol may involve massage 2–3 times daily for up to one minute each time for around ten days. This may differ from manufacturer recommendations; follow your written medical instructions. Protect red or swollen skin from sun and intense heat. Persistent nodules or worsening symptoms should be medically assessed; severe pain, skin discolouration or visual symptoms require immediate medical attention.
Sculptra works gradually: collagen formation may improve fullness, skin firmness and contours over weeks to months. We usually assess the overall result after 3–6 months. Results can last for up to two years, although duration and degree of effect vary. Further sessions or top-ups depend on your skin assessment and the result achieved.

We discuss how much treatment is appropriate and what it will cost before the procedure.
The price depends on the product, the amount required and any planned combination treatment.
Downtime is usually minimal
Redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising can occur at the injection sites. These reactions often settle within a few days, although visible marks may last longer.
Additional injections, skin treatments or energy-based procedures may be useful when appropriate. We assess each combination, plan the sequence and allow sufficient time between treatments.
Sculptra and targeted collagen formation are a particular focus of FA Dr. Med. (univ. Belgrad) Darko Nikolic. At DIVINE Medica in Munich, he plans treatment around your facial proportions, skin quality and desired change. Treatment includes a personal consultation, a conservative plan for gradually increasing fullness and medical follow-up.
Your personal Sculptra consultation in Munich considers more than individual wrinkles: facial balance, fullness and firmness are assessed together. You receive a clear plan covering the amount of product, the number of sessions and aftercare, together with a realistic explanation of the possible results and limitations.
A 30-minute consultation costs €75.
