Timing Between Sculptra Treatments? Can it Migrate?

How long can I wait after my 2nd Sculptra treatment before getting the 3rd one. (Each treatment had 2 vials done). ? Is it better to go more times and use only one vial after the 2nd treatment? Can Sculptra crystals migrate from the injection site?
