I thought Sculptra was for people with HIV. My doctor said it could help me look younger, that I have fat wasting in my face. I don't have HIV, I don't know what fat wasting is. Is this safe?
Sculptra is an injectable filler able to restore volume and correct the signs of facial fat loss. Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic material that is biocompatible and biodegradable. Sculptra is injected beneath the skin's surface, resulting in a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness, and may be used to treat sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, indentations, folds and other sunken areas.
Good candidates for Sculptra injections include individuals who are physically healthy, realistic in their expectations and looking to improve the appearance of facial fat loss. Sculptra is not appropriate for those who are allergic to any of the ingredients in Sculptra or have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area. Sculptra can provide results lasting up to two years.
unlike other dermal fillers like juvaderm, i beleive its true that some injections dont ever go away. the one i know about is called "Sculpta"
In my experience, Sculptra lasts about 2-3 years if a proper and full correction is acheived with a set of injections. Most patients require a series of 3-4 treatments spaced out at monthly intervals to achieve their desired result. Once this is accomplished, many patients return for an annual touch up and then the result lasts for many years.
Is there a timeline or window to have sterile water injections to attempt to remove Sculptra? Will it work? I had Sculptra 3 days ago and hate the resulting assymetry and placement of my jawline (see my previous question).
I do not feel that injecting sterile water will make your Sculptra go away. In most cases, with proper injection technique, lumps and bumps are avoidable. Re-injecting Sculptra in this area may be helpful in smoothing the contour of this area so the bumps are not perceptible.Massage or steroid injections may help.
