The launch follows regulatory approval and study results supporting Sculptra’s long-lasting correction of midface volume and contour loss.
Galderma announced the launch of Sculptra, a regenerative biostimulator with a unique poly-L-lactic acid formulation, in China. This follows Sculptra’s approval by China’s National Medical Products Administration for correcting mid-facial volume loss and/or contour deficiencies last year.
The approval was based on results from a study in China, which showed Sculptra’s ability to achieve high and maintained response rates in the correction of midface volume/contour deficit through two years. China is a major market for Galderma, where sales have fueled the company’s strong performance across product categories, according to the company’s 2024 annual report.
Sculptra is designed to work with the body’s natural processes to achieve healthier, radiant skin and a more youthful appearance. “Sculptra has a unique and rich history spanning over 25 years, and its launch in China signals the start of another chapter in its incredible journey. Patients and healthcare professionals in China will now have access to a premium product, backed by decades of clinical evidence, which can help them achieve their varied aesthetic needs by offering long-lasting and natural-looking results,” says Baldo Scassellati Sforzolini, MD, PhD, global head of research and development at Galderma.
This launch further expands Sculptra’s global reach, which already spans over 40 countries and regions worldwide.
“I am very excited by Sculptra’s introduction to the Chinese market, as it allows me to provide my patients with a distinctive product renowned for its exceptional safety and effectiveness. Sculptra restores a youthful appearance and enhances skin quality, all while maintaining a natural look and feel, and I am looking forward to offering it to my patients in China,” says Dr Haiyan Cui, director of the department of plastic and cosmetic surgery at Tongji Hospital of Tongji University and director of institute of aesthetic plastic surgery and medicine at Tongji University.
