Is it possible to do 1/2 vial of sculptra on the first treatment? I'd like to minimize the risk of overcorrection, i.e. i'd rather do 5 treatments instead of 3 but i want to make sure that i get the results i am looking for.
Answer: Half vial sculptra
You certainly can use a half vial but if you really need sculptra a half a vial will not give you much of a result. Even after one full vial you probably will not see a huge difference. If I were worried about too much correction I would wait a longer time between treatments and when you get close to where you want to be possibly cut down to smaller amounts then.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Sculptra for facial volume
Your doctor should evaluate your condition and have a sense as to how much Sculptra you should have at one session. Some people may need one vial and others two, but half a vial is possible if that is all you need. Usually, if the volume for filling is so little that half a vial is satisfactory,, some physicians might choose to use a syringe of a different filler such as Perlane, Juvederm Ultraplus or Radiesse.

Answer: You can use half a vial of Sculptra
It is not uncommon for me to use 1/2 of a vial per session in those patients that only need a minimal correction. I agree that when using a filler that can hold its effects for many years, it is important to start slow and make sure you are being treated by a physician who is experienced and expert in using fillers.

Answer: Avoiding overcorrection with Sculptra
Scultra is a biostimulator, a filler that induces the body's own collagen production. It is difficult to overcorrect with one vial of Sculptra unless you really don't need correction. The collagen production happens gradually over several weeks, and results usually become apparent approximately one month after the second correction.
The timing of injections depends on how much correction you need. For someone who needs a lot of correction, the injections can be spaced 4-6 weeks apart and it usually takes 3-4 injections to correct.
The injections can be spaced six weeks for the second and six months for the third for someone who needs less correction or only two injections may be necessary altogether.
If only 1/2 vial is used for an injection, the other half cannot be either used for someone else or used for you at a later time.
