After the first injection, I developed a pea sized lump under my left eye. My dermatologist told me it would go away. I had the... more »

As to pain, it for sure hurt. I've had botox, Ultra Light Therapy, Microdermabrasion, and 3 root canals with crowns, and this hurt the most! But next time, I'll insist on a Lortab before the treatment, if my doctor will do it. I will see. If not, I'll still endure it. I've... more »

No one ever informs you of the true cost or pain involved. Many shots in my temple, chin & nose areas. Thought I was having a root canal and the shots became so painful I tried to get out of my chair but they would not let me. I said to stop: "it is too painful", but the doctor... more »

My dr. used Scultra to add fulless to the volume loss I had from aging. I have used other fillers as well as Botox and this was a great xcombination as it works over the course of time, promoting collagen. It has made a big difference. The important thing to remeber is that it is not just the... more »

My cosmetic dermatologist is a superb injector. She is the best of the best. I have no choice but to blame the product itself, Sculptra, for the lump that formed under my left eye. According to the PI sheet, about 1 in 5 patients develop lumps. I thought I could beat those odds by having a good... more »

Sculptra: was it worth it?

Sculptra Information

  • Sculptra is a cosmetic injection containing poly-L-lactic acid, a long-lasting dermal filler approved by the FDA for cosmetic use facial rejuvenation. Longevity of Sculptra ranges from 18-24 months. A patient may benefit touch-up injection in 2 years
  • Sculptra adds volume along to a face that's lost fat with age or disease (such as HIV patients). It's used to volumize upper cheeks, temple areas, and deep wrinkles and folds.
  • Sculptra acts as a bio-stimulatory filler, meant to stimulate your own collagen to form starting 2 weeks after injection, requiring typically 3 sessions, 2 vials each 4-6 weeks apart.
  • To avoid side effects, Sculptra should be injected by someone certified by the manufacturer, Sanofi-Aventis. Reported complications by RealSelf community members include lumps, bumps, granulomas, bruising, and other injection site-related irritation
  • Doctors on RealSelf do not suggest injecting Sculptra under the eyes (tear troughs) or lips.
