Lack of projection

Gluteal projection loss results from several factors: natural descent of adipose tissue due to gravity, decreased collagen and elastin with age, hormonal changes, sedentary lifestyle, and bone volume loss. The gluteal area ages visibly because skin relaxes and volume redistributes downward, resulting in a less defined and projected profile.

At Santé, we use Sculptra, a next-generation collagen inducer that stimulates natural collagen production in depth. This treatment ideally restores volume and projection gradually and naturally. It's injected at strategic gluteal points to redefine contour and restore characteristic elevation without invasive procedures.

Santé's typical protocol includes 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Initial results appear after the second session, but optimal improvement is seen 2–3 months after completing treatment, when collagen is fully stimulated. The effect is progressive and natural.

Sculptra is applied with local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. Mild sensitivity may occur for 24–48 hours. Downtime is virtually none: resume normal activities immediately, though intense exercise should be avoided for 48 hours. No significant bruising occurs. It's suitable for most ages starting at 30 years old.
