Ageing Gracefully with Sculptra and Ulthera - Las Vegas, NV

I looked in the mirror one day and realized that I was showing my age! My cheeks were sinking; my face looked thin and long. Our daughter was getting married and I wanted to improve my appearance. I was seeking a nonsurgical solution to firm and tighten my skin along with an increase in volume in my cheeks. I met with Dr Curt Samlaska and Judi Hynds and they recommended a full face a neck treatment with Ulthera and Sculptra Aesthetics filler injections. I am very happy with the treatments I received and the results are amazing.

Great review?

you look good..I had Sculptra when I turned 50 a few years back, it was pretty good, cheeks fiilled out and naselfolds also, to bad I got 2 permanent bumps, one by the corner of my mouth and another by the tear through, not terrible but wasn't happy at the time with the bumps there, they have faded somewhat but now I am afraid of Sculptra, 3 vials and the results lasted about a year and a half, not the 3 yrs the doctor said it would, paid almost 4k in all if i remember, that was with botox 15 units too..anyway glad u r happy with your results, you do look really good "-)

You look great. How many vials and treatments did you have? How long did it take for you to see results? I have had 2 treatments, 12 weeks since my first injection, and I still have no changes yet : (.

I had a total of five Sculptra treatments with one vile per treatment. Immediately following the Sculptra treatment my face was full from the fluids injected with the Sculptra. I began seeing the longer lasting effects after my 2nd and 3rd treatment. The improvements with Sculptra are gradual and it seems barely noticeable until you compare before and after photos. I hope you have a before photo that you can use as a comparison.

Thanks for replying! I have taken tons of pics and compare them quite often...which isn't helping right now since I'm not having any changes. My 3rd treatment wasn't schedule until September, so I will try and be patient!

WOW you look beautiful!  That combination seems to have been a great choice, your face looks much more full now and your skin very tight.  Thank you so much for sharing your story with the community. :)

Very nice subtle change. I'm assuming the Sculptra was placed in your cheeks, but would love to know if you had it anywhere else as well?

The Sculptra was placed in the cheek and jaw. Thakns
