Since Sculptra results take at least 3 months to show, isn't it more prudent to wait for at least the 3 months, or even more, for further injections, since the collagen will grow for up to 6 months Why do so many doctors have patients come back after only a few weeks for subsequent injections when no changes can be seen? Isn't that a potential cause for over-filling? I had 2 vials done at first session and was told not to come back for 3 months. Explain the discrepancy please.
The amount of Sculptra required varies greatly from individual to individual, not only because different individuals have different volume requirements, but also because people respond differently, based on a number of factors including age. Sculptra is also very forgiving acting as a more diffuse volume filler rather than a simple wrinkle filler. It is therefore difficult (within reason) to place too much Sculptra if one is injecting 1-2 vials at a time.
If the injector judges that the individual will require more than 2 or 3 vials in total, then the process can be speeded up by injecting more frequently. So let's say the injector judges that you will require 8 vials in total, it would not be inappropriate to inject 2 vials every 3 weeks over 12 weeks. Then wait 3 months to judge the final effect before injecting more. This way the injection process would take 12 weeks, instead of 12 months. And the final result would be seen at 6-9 months from the beginning vs 15-18 months.
Can Sculptura Be Injected into the Naso Labial Folds and Will It Help Get Rid of the Lines? ive had 2 treatments of sculptra in the cheek area i love it and i want to get a third can it be injected into the folds?
Yes, Sculptra may be used for laugh lines. Although, it's not a traditional filler where you will see immediate results. It fills lines in a gradient fashion. It's injected a vial at a time and can take several months before you see final results. Sculptra is a wonderful product for improving depressed areas, like temples, cheeks that have become hallow from the aging process.
Will my age affect how my sunken cheeks will look when I have sculptra injected into fat pockets on my face? What are the results like for younger patients compared to older patients?
Your question is a good one and I am happy to answer it. Having started to use Sculptra 10 years ago when it was produced in a European laboratory, I am in a unique postion to do so. I was practicing overseas at the time. First, I can tell you that the people I have the best long term followup on is my family and friends. They maintain their benefit for many many years. I have never seen anyone with deleterious effects of Sculptra which was manifest as a result of the passage of time.
Young people do very well. There are young people with prematurely deep nasolabial folds or sunken cheeks who do just as well as older patients. Age is not an issue.
