JULÄINE vs Sculptra: Why JULÄINE is the Next-Generation of Biostimulators

JULÄINE™ and Sculptra® are injections made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). They help rebuild skin firmness and elasticity over time. Sculptra: proven classic for facial volume restoration (FDA-approved). JULÄINE: new-generation Swedish innovation (CE-marked) with uniform PLLA microspheres and no post-treatment massage and reduced risk of lumps/ nodules. At Skinfinity Leeds, only doctors trained by Nordberg Medical perform JULÄINE. This ensures advanced results with safety and precision.

We all want smoother, firmer skin - but not everyone wants fillers. That’s where collagen-stimulating injections come in.

Two of the biggest names in this field are Sculptra® and JULÄINE™. Both products help rebuild your skin from the inside out. They use poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a safe ingredient. PLLA encourages your body to make more collagen naturally, hence the term biostiumulators.

So, what makes JULÄINE™ the next step forward in skin regeneration? Let’s break it down.

What Do Collagen-Stimulating Injections Do?

Over time, our skin loses collagen, the protein that keeps it strong and bouncy.

Collagen-stimulating injections don’t fill the skin instantly like HA fillers. Instead, they stimulate your body to rebuild collagen slowly and naturally.

The result is gradual improvement in skin quality, firmness, and elasticity without changing your facial shape.

Both Sculptra and JULÄINE are based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) - but their formulas and results are very different!

The Classic Choice – Sculptra

Sculptra has been trusted for over 20 years. It was the first PLLA collagen booster used by doctors around the world.

  • How it works: Sculptra’s formula triggers a mild healing response to start collagen production.
  • Best for: Rebuilding facial volume, especially in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and chin.
  • Aftercare: Requires the “5-5-5 massage” - 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to help it spread evenly.
  • Results: Gradual results that appear after about 3 months and last up to 2 years.

Sculptra remains a reliable option for those needing deeper volume and structure. But its older-generation PLLA particles can be slightly uneven, which is why the massage step is so important.

The New Era – JULÄINE™

JULÄINE™ is the next generation of biostimulators, created by Nordberg Medical in Sweden. It uses new LASYNPRO™ technology to make perfectly round, high-purity PLLA particles that spread evenly under the skin.

What this means for you:

  • No massage required - the formula distributes smoothly on its own.
  • Less inflammation and faster recovery.
  • Improved skin quality - not just lift, but glow and texture too.
  • Suitable for face, neck, and décolletage.

Because JULÄINE works with your cells instead of against them, it restores the skin’s support system in a calm, even way. You’ll start to see results in 8–12 weeks, and they can last up to two years.

JULÄINE™ vs Sculptra® — key differences
Feature Sculptra® JULÄINE™
Ingredient Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)
Generation / Tech Traditional PLLA Next-gen PLLA (LASYNPRO™ uniform microspheres)
Collagen Response Inflammatory-mediated stimulation Non-inflammatory cellular regeneration
Aftercare 5-5-5 massage required No massage required
Primary Focus Facial volume & contour Skin quality, firmness & elasticity
Results Visible ~3 months ~6–8 weeks
Longevity Up to 2 years 12–24 months
Downtime Mild swelling / bruising Minimal redness or tenderness
Ideal For Cheeks, temples, jawline; deeper volume Fine lines, laxity; face, neck & décolletage
Regulatory FDA-approved CE-marked

Safety and Trust

Both treatments are biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning they’re safely absorbed by the body over time.

JULÄINE’s smoother microspheres help your skin accept the product better. This lowers the chance of small lumps or nodules forming, which can still happen with Sculptra.

At Skinfinity Leeds, only trained doctors perform JULÄINE. They have completed Nordberg Medical’s official program. This program is not available to all clinicians, which makes this treatment exceptionally exclusive to Skinfinity Leeds.

Our clinic is CQC-registered. This means every procedure meets high medical safety standards. This is one reason Skinfinity Leeds was chosen to provide this treatment.

Why Choose JULÄINE?

  • Brighter, smoother, more elastic skin.
  • To treat the face, neck, or décolletage.
  • Less downtime and no massage routine.
  • Less risk of lumps or nodules post treatment

Your doctor will always help you decide on the best treatment based on your goals, skin type, and lifestyle.

What Happens After Treatment?

JULÄINE™

  • Mild redness or swelling for 1–2 days.
  • No massage needed.
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and alcohol for 24 hours.

Sculptra

  • Slight swelling or tenderness.
  • Massage is required for even collagen stimulation
  • Visible results build over several weeks.

Both stimulate collagen production gradually for smooth, natural-looking results that can last up to two years.

Doctor’s Insight

“JULÄINE™ brings more advanced science and safety together. Its smoother microspheres mean less inflammation and a more refined finish for our patients.”— Dr Mahmoon, Clinical Lead at Skinfinity Leeds
