I avoided Sculptra because of some of the reviews on this website, regarding lumps. I had Restylane for the same issue you have and after three weeks (some swelling) I am very happy.
The correction was done gradually over about 3 months. The injections were cortisone, I believe, and spaced far apart time-wise so that the outcome could be controlled.
The office put Emla cream (topical anesthetic) on my skin first. This injections were not painful to me, but I usually get Botox, etc. without any numbing.
I thought the restylane was LESS painful in the tear troughs than in the nasolabial folds.
And yes, I will definitely have this done again. I am very happy with the results.
Well, when I tried the Dysport and botox on different areas at the same time, the dysport lasted much longer.
After 3 months, botox wore off and about 3 weeks later I had my eyes and forehead redone. The dysport still had not worn off, so hardly needed any there.
I won't use botox again.
A friend that went with me had not done botox for years and did the dysport. It took several says for his to kick in while it took only hours for mine to freeze.
