WORTH IT$3,100
I am still very happy with my Sculptra results, thanks to Dr. Palm and her great team. I feel comfortable about booking the next Sculptra appointment. The initial treatment plan was for 5 vials, and the first treatment consisted of 2, so I have 3 vials left. I am also still happy using the Kinerase Tretinoin, which appears to be aiding in the smoothing out of my skin.

Just had my Sculptra done
Yesterday I had my first Sculptra treatment. Although I was nervous, Dr. Palm and her team were once again awesome. I was really worried about coming out looking like a blowfish, and they reassured me multiple times that I would not. I thought 2 vials sounded like a lot, but as usual, they were spot on, and I came out looking great, but not "done". I also thought I might need a botox touchup, but Doc talked me down, stating I really did not need much more. She only gave me a tiny touch up. Although I really thought the Sculptra would somehow be much more difficult than the Voluma and Juvederm that I recieved on my first treatment, it actually was easier and went by very fast. I had much less tenderness this time around. I am only one day out, but I really feel good. I have 4 more days of the 5/5/5 massaging.
My skin looks smoother, and my wrinkles are much less pronounced. And so far, no one seems to have noticed that I had work done, which is great. I am also using the retinol recommended by Dr. Palm, and I really feel a difference.
Spend the money, go see an expert like Dr. Palm. Once again, I was really very happy that I found Dr. Palm and her team. They are phenomenal, and they have been on target every time.

Update 3 weeks out
I am really happy with Dr. Palm's work. And they have been spot-on with all the guidance, and I am feeling great. The results were very subtle, just as I requested. I can see a difference in the overall quality of my skin, and my wrinkles are diminished, but the work does not look "obvious", I just look refreshed.

I think I had 2 syringes of Voluma, 2 syringes of Juvederm Ultra Plus, and 42 units of botox. When I go in next week, I will likely only get 1 syringe of the Sculptra, and a tad more botox. I want to go slowly.

Thanks for the update. I've thought about sculptra many times but still afraid. Lol. I can have all kinds of PS, but something like that scares me. Silly, I know. Mine went well- I had two syringes of Voluma and a syringe of Juvederm for my nasolabial fold and my chin. And I was right-lots of bruising, but that's just me. I'm going back tomorrow for another syringe of Voluma, fill in some areas that could use a bit more. I really liked it the day I had it done but some of that was swelling. Hopefully this next syringe can fluff it all out. It's been an expensive month for my face. Lol. I just had Juvederm in my lips and 65 units of Botox, too. :/ Good luck and let me know how the Sculptra goes next week if you would. Thanks!

Hi, glad you liked your Voluma and Juvederm. I was super scared about the Sculptra, but actually it went even better. I had 2 vials, which equalled 5 syringes. I seriously thought that was going to be way too much, but they talked me down and reassured me that it wasn't, and they were right as usual. And I had way less bruising (so far) then with the the V & J. I'm still massaging 5 times a day, no issues yet. I am also using the retinol she prescribes, and so far I like it. I am really happy with the Doctor and the results. Yes, an expensive month indeed! Best of luck to you.

As an update to the above post, I believe I actually had 2 vials of each, not 2 syringes. I think 2 vials is about 5 syringes, but I am still learning. Sorry if I confused anyone.
