Sculptra: Q&A
Ask a Question
Will the Effects of Sculptra Be Best if Used Before I Turn 40?
Will my age affect how my sunken cheeks will look when I have sculptra injected into fat pockets on my face? What are the results like for younger patients compared to older patients?

Sculptra and Age
I wouldn't recommend basing your decision on when to have Sculptra injected on age. While young skin can in fact regenerate collagen more effectively, Sculptra still has very similar effects (and probably identical to the naked eye) on skin a few years older. However, you may enjoy the effects of Sculptra more if you start now and maintain, rather than wait for further signs of aging.
Best of luck!

The best ages for Sculptra injections
While it is true that younger patients often get a better response from Sculptra causing collagen production, you should never make your decision to have treatment based on your age. You will know when you are ready based on how you feel when you look in the mirror. I have patients in their 80's who have gotten nice results from Sculptra injections.

Sculptra should work well in the 40s and 50s so you don't need to feel that you have to use it before age 40. There is no problem with aging and the effects of Sculptra.

I have never seen anyone with deleterious effects of Sculptra which was manifest as a result of the passage of time...
