A: Sculptra requires multiple treatments over months for great results.

The worst thing to do is abandon a great procedure because you have not given it a chance.  Your provider should have informed you that it takes 3 or 4 sessions (using from 3 to 6 vials) to get optimum results. Don't give up, I have seen Sculptra work on the vast majority of patients given enough time and sessions.  The good new is that once you have the outcome that you want, the results will last 2 or more years.

After Injected, Can Sculptra Move to Another Location?

Does or can Sculptra move to another location after injected?

A: Sculptra does not move after it is injected.

Sculptra is used to add volume to the face. Ususally several treatments over several months are required to gain results. This is a product that we like to massage immediately after injection.  We also insist that the patient massage the areas treated several times a day for several days.  The reasoning behind the massaging is to keep the material even and smooth to avoid bumps.  It does not move the material to a different location.
