The results from Sculptra are subtle but it is very effective. I find that it is much more natural than Restylne or Juvederm, and it lasts longer. I had Sculptra in 2009 (2-3 treatments - can't remember) and I went back from two more treatments in Nov 2011 and Jan 2012.
I also have Juvederm and Restylane at the same time but in different parts of my face.
The Juvederm injected in my eye sockets didn't last and looked very puffy. Not successful for me.
Going forward, I will not have more than one filler injected during the same office visit. I think it is better to do one and see how it "settles in" and then go back for other treatments, if needed.
Haste makes waste! Slowly, carefully and mindfully is the best approach to cosmetic treatments. It is best viewed as an "evolutionary" process.
Good luck!
Thank you for your response. I have been looking for a successful way to remove the brown spots on my arms and legs. I would like something that is an non-invasive as possible, yet achieves reasonably good results. I'd not heard of using liquid nitrogen before, although I did have a small "wart" remove from leg with some kind of spray that "froze" it off.
I will see when it might be possible for me to go to Oklahoma City for an appointment.
Again, thank you for sharing. I appreciate it!
Generally one would get several treatments over a period of a six week intervals. This is so that the doctor can see how the initial treatment has developed. It's better to move slowly and cautiously, then to risk doing too much and being sorry.
My initial treatment was more extensive and created a "foundation". Subsequent treatment(s) added a bit here and there to fine tune the results.
I would urge you to not do too many treatments at once. Take it step by step for the best, most natural results.
Good luck!
The key to success with Sculptra is going to a doctor who has lots of experience with Sculptra. Each filler is different. Sculptra in experienced hands is really great. There are many skilled doctors who simply don't have the expertise with Sculptra. Hence the scary results.
I have had a great experience with Sculptra. My first treatment was in 2009. It has lasted quite well. I have just gone back for a "refill" to boost some areas that needed refreshing.
Also, it is important to note that Sculptra takes time to "develop". After getting treated you might need to wait a month or more to see the final results.
