At River Medical Cork, our Roaccutane® (Isotretinoin) Consultation is a doctor-led service designed for patients with moderate to severe acne who may benefit from advanced, prescription-based treatment.
This treatment is available at River Medical Cork.
Sculptra offers a regenerative approach to facial rejuvenation, focusing on long-term skin health rather than immediate volume alone.
Key benefits include:
Sculptra is an advanced injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume and improve skin quality by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra works gradually over time using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that encourages the skin to rebuild its own structural support.
This results in a subtle, progressive improvement in skin thickness, firmness, and overall facial contour. Sculptra is particularly effective for treating volume loss, skin laxity, and areas affected by ageing such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
Sculptra is administered via a series of small injections into targeted areas of the face. A topical anaesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Treatment typically involves a course of 2–3 sessions spaced several weeks apart, depending on the individual’s skin condition and desired outcome. Following treatment, patients are advised to massage the treated area as directed to support even distribution of the product. Results develop gradually over a number of weeks as collagen production increases, with optimal outcomes seen over a period of several months.
Sculptra is suitable for individuals experiencing:
It is ideal for patients who prefer a natural, long-term approach to facial rejuvenation rather than immediate volumisation.
A consultation at River Medical Cork will determine suitability and ensure a personalised treatment plan is created.
Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production rather than simply adding volume. This leads to more gradual, natural-looking results.
Results develop over several weeks, with continued improvement over a number of months as collagen production increases.
Results can last up to 24 months, depending on individual factors such as age, lifestyle, and skin condition.
Downtime is minimal. Some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days.
Most patients require a course of 2–3 treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart.
Sculptra has a long-established safety profile and is widely used in aesthetic medicine. All treatments at River Medical Cork are carried out by experienced medical professionals following a thorough consultation.
