$2,700
i did the activeFX laser a few months ago with subcision and restylane. it definitely improved the look and texture of my skin, but not enough! i see people with perfect poreless and unscarred skin and i get soooo jealous. a few months ago i also started getting perlane fillers to plump up my cheeks and really love the way it makes my cheekbones look.
my dr then suggested scupltra treatments because i would be the perfect candidate for it for loss of collagen and also for the acne scarring. so here are some befores, a few afters and i will keep this updated for anyone who is interested in what sculptra did for someone trying to fix acne scars.
1 vial total-8 syringes with multiple stabbings from each syringe....

Do you have anymore pictures now? Since I'm sure most of the swelling has gone down.

my temples right now look like yours and i was wondering whether that's considered hollowness. i guess it is! how much volume will you gain there with this procedure? is the pain that bad? i am scared now lol

Hi it's been 2 months and I had 4 vials total and I can't see that much of a change. i'm wondering if I need more treatments to really see the results I want and I would like fuller cheeks so do I need an additional filler for that area as when as under eye hollows? thanks

i can say this. i have so much stuff done to my face its hard to tell what does what but i can honestly say since my last treatment, there is a HUGE difference. i also get Perlane in my cheeks to help with the shallowness and it really helps too but not with the scars, just the fullness of the face. There is this new stuff out by Restalyne called Voluma and I am going to try that in 2 months. I think Sculptra is worth it if you have the money to do it but I havent tried the Dermapen yet either (and its a lot cheaper and the same great results from what i hear!!!)

I think that after looking at the mirror today i'm seeing real results mainly in the face area in mid cheeks but still need more to grow in lower face I will consider more vials later

I girl I'm pretty sure I no you! So you didn't feel like sculptra helped?

I think Definitely change. Sculptra takes time, sometimes up to 3 to 4 months. Your skin will get much better. You may also look into restylane. Do not be discouraged, I find u look beautiful. Try using glycolic acid 40% once a week to help with putting and pores. Good luck, Gumboangie
