What Types of Ailments Does Sculptra Help Correct, Besides a Thinning Face or Wrinkles?

Botox is approved to help with Migraines, how about Sculptra?

A: Sculptra is used as a facial filler I, too, am not a fan and prefer to use Radiesse or Restylane which produce results must faster and more consistently. All the facial fillers act by replacing lost volume in the face. Some are virtually identical and are marketed by different manufacturers while others vary in the density of the filler material.

Is It Pretty Standard for 40 Year Olds to Spend $3,000 for the First Year of Sculptra Treatments?

It is correct to assume that the industry standard cost is $1,000 per vial and first time patients need about 3 injections (1 vial/injection) during the first year?

A: Filler-necessary versus optional

I don't think there is a minimum number of syringes of any substance that are truly necessary.  My patient population, in Queens, NY is financially conscious, and rightfully so in this economy.  Some patients who have historically used two syringes of Restylane or Radiesse per session have cut back to one for economic reasons.   Treatment can be tailored to an individual's pocketbook but it's important to take the time to explain just how far a syringe will go and let the patient make the decision as to which areas trouble them most.  Very few of my patients are comfortable spending $3000 on filler within one year.  At that rate, they are more inclined to use less product now and to save up for facial rejuvenation surgery which has a much longer life expectancy than any filler currently on the market.
