How gradual will the growth of collagen be after sculptra? When will the effect be at its peak?
Sculptra works different than the more commonly used facial fillers, such as Restylane or Juvederm. It depends on the body to create a minor reaction against its particles. Most people develop this reaction to the point where it can be seen over the course of 2-4 months, but this is a very gradual transition. There may be some patients who do not mount a response to the product and thus they would be disappointed. In my experience I can not predict this, although I have only seen it on one occasion. For this reason it is important for you and your doctor to take photographs to document this change.
To answer your second question, most physicians believe the product effect lasts about two years, but there is a great deal of variability (longer and shorter). I usually recommend a touch up treatment every few years.
