An official Sculptra certified clinic in Daegu — safe collagen treatments with genuine Sculptra
People asking about Sculptra often ask one thing first: “Is it genuine?” Miso Clinic is an official Sculptra certified clinic, and we give collagen treatments with genuine Sculptra.
The short answer
Miso Clinic in Daegu is an official Sculptra certified clinic, giving collagen treatments with Galderma's genuine Sculptra (PLLA). Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that slowly prompts your skin to make its own collagen; its approved use in Korea is “temporary improvement of facial wrinkles in adults”. The certification comes from the manufacturer and does not guarantee results. Miso Clinic in Daegu (4F Bombom Building, 125 Dongdeok-ro, Jung-gu, Exit 1 of Kyungpook National University Hospital Station, +82-53-428-2700) shows you the genuine box before treatment and places it in deep layers over several sessions.
What kind of treatment is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) product made by Galderma. It does not fill a space the moment it goes in, the way filler does. It breaks down slowly in the body and prompts your skin to make collagen, so the change shows gradually over weeks to months.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|

| Main ingredient | PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) |
| Vial | 367.5 mg (PLLA 150 mg) |
| Approved use (Korea) | Temporary improvement of facial wrinkles in adults |
| Good for | Broad hollows such as the front cheek and temples, longer-lasting volume |
| Not for | An instant same-day change, major sagging |
Why does genuine product matter?
With collagen boosters, particle size and breakdown speed shape both the result and the safety. Even among PLLA products, particle shape and manufacturing differ. Using the genuine product means using the product that was studied, exactly as approved.
Unlike hyaluronic acid filler, PLLA has no dissolving drug. That makes what goes in all the more important, so it is worth checking the box yourself before treatment.
What do we do to keep it safe?
- We show you the genuine box before treatment
- PLLA is fully reconstituted and placed in deep layers, spread out
- We do not put in a lot at once; we split it into sessions and decide the next one after the first result
- We show you how to massage at home afterwards
- We do not treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if the area is inflamed
Rare nodules (lumps you can feel) with PLLA-type products are covered in the column on nodules after injectables.
How far does the evidence go?
PLLA has a fair amount of human research. In a randomised study of 208 people with nasolabial folds, PLLA and hyaluronic acid filler were similar up to 12 weeks, then diverged after 24 weeks; at 120 weeks the effect remained in 55.56% versus 25.00%. When comparing how long things last, look at the follow-up period too.
How it differs from Everwrinkle (also PLLA) and Juvelook (PDLLA) is in Sculptra, Juvelook and Everwrinkle compared.
What does the certification not mean?
- It is not a national certification or a specialist qualification — it was set by the manufacturer
- It does not guarantee results — results depend on your face and the treatment plan
- It does not mean we are better than other clinics
Genuine Sculptra FAQ
How can I check that Sculptra is genuine?
Ask to see the product box before treatment. Miso Clinic shows it to you before we start.
Does Sculptra work right away?
No. It follows the pace of collagen production and shows gradually over weeks to months.
Can Sculptra be dissolved?
PLLA has no dissolving drug, so we start conservatively and split the amount.
