Stimulation of collagen for natural volume building
Collagen-stimulating fillers: Sculptra® & Novuma®
Are you looking for natural and long-lasting skin rejuvenation? Collagen-stimulating fillers are the solution for restoring volume and improving skin quality. At SkinDoctor, we work with the high-quality products Sculptra® and Novuma®, both known for their effective stimulation of natural collagen production.
A collagen-stimulating filler stimulates the body to produce new collagen on its own. Collagen is essential for firm, smooth and elastic skin. As we age, collagen production decreases, which can lead to wrinkles, sagging and loss of volume in the face.
Sculptra® treatment
Sculptra® is a collagen-stimulating filler based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and has been safely used worldwide for many years.
A Sculptra treatment is ideal for clients who want to rejuvenate their skin without a ‘stuffed’ look. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra does not give immediate volume, but instead provides a gradual and natural result that remains visible for months to years.
Benefits of Sculptra®:
Stimulates natural collagen production
Provides gradual and natural skin rejuvenation
Suitable for volume loss in cheeks, temples, jawline and chin
Also suitable for neck, décolleté and body
Results visible after a few weeks
Long-lasting effect for up to 2 years or more
Novuma® treatment
Novuma® is an innovative collagen-stimulating filler with Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel. Unlike Sculptra, Novuma also provides instant volume through the gel. The CaHA microspheres activate fibroblasts to produce new collagen, leading to firmer, more youthful skin and softening wrinkles and sagging.
Novuma is an excellent choice for those looking for a safe, effective and long-lasting treatment against skin ageing.
Benefits of Novuma®:
Gives both an immediate effect and long-term skin improvement
Stimulates long-term collagen formation
Improves skin structure, firmness and elasticity
Great for facial rejuvenation and contour enhancement
Natural result that develops gradually
Effect of 18 to 24 months on skin improvement
How does the treatment proceed?
Prior to each filler treatment, a personal consultation takes place at our clinic. During this consultation, we discuss your wishes, analyse the skin and draw up an individual treatment plan.
Several treatments are often needed for optimal results, at intervals of several weeks. The final result builds gradually and looks very natural.
Safety and recovery
After treatment, there may be mild swelling, redness or sensitivity at the injection sites. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. Treatments are carried out by experienced and qualified professionals.
Ready for a fresh, natural look?
A treatment with collagen-stimulating fillers is not about instant volume, but about activating your own skin. During a personal consultation, we look together at your skin quality, facial structure and wishes. Based on this, we draw up a treatment plan with Sculptra® or Novuma®, aimed at gradually restoring volume and improving the skin from the inside out. The result develops step by step and provides a natural, long-term rejuvenation that suits your face.

Frequently asked questions
What are collagen-stimulating fillers?
Collagen-stimulating fillers are injectables that encourage the body to produce new collagen on its own. Instead of adding volume directly, they improve the skin from the inside out, resulting in firmer, smoother and younger-looking skin.
What is the difference between Sculptra® and Novuma®?
Sculptra® gradually stimulates collagen production without immediate visible volume. Novuma® gives an immediate subtle volume effect in addition to collagen stimulation due to the gel containing the active ingredient. Both treatments provide natural and long-lasting results, but differ in structure and immediate visible effect.
When will I see results from treatment?
The result builds up gradually. The first changes are often visible after a few weeks, but optimal results develop over a period of several months as the body produces new collagen.
How long do the results last?
The effect of collagen-stimulating fillers is long-lasting. Depending on the treatment and personal factors, results can last up to 18 to 24 months or even longer.
How many treatments do I need?
Several treatments are usually needed for optimal results, at intervals of several weeks. During the consultation, we draw up a personalised treatment plan to suit your skin and needs.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment is generally well tolerated. Anaesthesia may be used to increase comfort. You may experience slight pressure or stinging during injection.
What can I expect after the treatment?
After treatment, slight swelling, redness or sensitivity may occur at the injection sites. This is normal and usually subsides within a few days. You can often resume your daily activities quickly.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, when performed by an experienced and qualified doctor, collagen-stimulating fillers are safe. We work with high-quality products such as Sculptra® and Novuma® and follow the latest medical guidelines, with safety and a natural result in mind.
