Many of the past concerns r.e. Sculptra have been resolved with the recent release of "Sculptra Aesthetic".

• The price has been reduced by almost 1/3 which makes it the most cost effective volumizer in our practice
• Injectors must have completed a training course which is very targeted and includes hands on training before they are certified. It is sponsored by Sculptra Aesthetic and not by outside trainers.
• In order to have the company provide you with the material you must be either a certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist

Sculptra is a "stimulatory" filler which means it takes time to see the results, but it also is the longest lasting of the temporary fillers.

Our present routines are that we use it as part of our liquid lift combining it with Juvederm for the lips, Restylane for the lids and Botox for the forehead and area of wrinkles about the lids.

There is not yet a perfect filler that is best for all areas and all patients.  Your injector should be able to choose from the wide group that is now available to find a style that best suites you.
