How long will it take to see results from sculptra?

Sculptra can take a while to see results but it is by far one of the best volumizers on the market if used properly.  In general, you need one vial per decade of life.  So, if you're 45-55, then 5 vials are just right.  Again, this is in general, and may vary.  For 5 vials, you have 2 done the first session, then 2 vials during the second session, usually 4-6 weeks later, then the last vial during the third session.It's extremely common not to see any results after the first session and I tell my patients not to expect any change until after the second session.  It takes your body usually 8-12 weeks to make collagen to a point that is visible in your face.  So, be patient and wait until the 8-12 week mark to start seeing results.  I have seen some patients take 4-6 months before the results start to show themselves.It's a frustration experience because you're paying for something you won't see for 3 months but stick with it and once it kicks in, you should get 2-3 years out of it. 

Results
from Sculptra injections are evident near the end of 6 weeks. The point of Sculptra is that it works to continue to build collagen over next 12-18 months.
A series of four treatments are given over a period of four months in order to
achieve best results.

You will not see immediate results from Sculptra injections. Generally patients begin seeing the effects within a month of treatment. Within the next few months, the results will continue to improve, until your desired results are achieved. Remember, Sculptra is a collagen stimulator, meaning it works to improve collagen production within your own body. Keep in mind that immediately following the treatment you will experience some swelling, giving your face a more volumized appearance. However, within a few days this swelling will disappear and your face will look like it did prior to the treatment, but rest assured the product is working and the results will appear gradually over the next few months. Their moto is 'you didnt age overnight, so you shouldn't anti-age over night either' which basically says it all. Multiple treatments are often necessary to achieve optimal results
