Sculptra - It's All About the Doctor Who Does It - Larchmont Village, CA

SuperC spent $1,000 in Larchmont Village, CA Created 3 months ago

Cons - none really, except some swelling that takes a good 5 or so days to go down. No one noticed until I pointed it out, but I was aware of it and wouldn't do it less than a week before I had to do anything special. Pros - it's so subtle no one notices except you. It also last much... Read more

Horrible Experience

Sandchic spent $800 in Bakersfield, California Updated 6 months ago

I wish I would have seen this website prior to getting my Sculptra injections. I had injections done under both eyes. First in November 2007 and again in January 2008. 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... Read more

Worth It! - Rome, GA

Susan7206 spent $270 in Rome, GA Updated 1 year ago

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... Read 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... Read more

Young at Heart and Now on Face - Boca Raton

teachgft spent $1,350 in Boca Raton, FL Updated 1 year ago

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... Read more

Sculptra Caused a Lump Under my Eye

anony1976 spent $800 in Atlanta, GA Created 1 year ago

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... Read more

Great Results - Timonium, MD

SBull spent $2,600 in Timonium, MD Created 2 months ago

Wanted to fill out the folds from nose to mouth. Had two treatments and after about four months, it did its job. My dermotologist directed me to massage my face intensly 3-4 times a day for several days -- not missing any areas. I believe this is what prevented any lumps from forming. She is... Read more
