The protocol of treatments that you have had sounds reasonable. Sometimes it requires a fourth or even a fitfh treatment. But, the reaction to the Sculptra takes several months to really evaluate. Give it some more time before you jump to do anything else.
When should I start seeing results from Sculptra?
I had 3 sessions of Sculptra done over the space of 3 months, with 2 vials used each time. I don't really see a significant difference, and no one seems to notice any change as well.
