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!

Does this treatment work on arms and legs? I have spots there that I'd like to remove.

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.

Good luck!

Keith you are absolutely correct. People are naive in believing that any doctor (and shockingly in some case nurses!) can administer Scupltra with good results. Every procedure takes skill - some more so than others. Unfortunately, people don't research the background of the doctor in advance. Others opt for someone who is nearby or shop for bargains. This is true not only in the case of cosmetic procedures. I certainly sympathize with those who have had poor results from the various treatments on this site, however most are more the victims of inexperienced practioners than of poor products. Not all products are good, and not all good products are good for everybody. A doctor who is skilled with a product will know if its the right product for each particular patient. If they are at all ethical, they'll dissuade a patient from a procedure that's not right for them. Further, most doctors who have extensive experience with Sculptra will tell you frankly that in the early days it was not diluted sufficient, hence the formation of lumps in some patients. A doctor who does a lot of work with Scupltra knows where and how to inject it. As Keith, again, correctly points out, there are very doctors who have in-depth clinical experience with Sculptra. So if you're not willing or able to travel and can't afford what is an expensive treatment, then don't opt for Sculptra. There are many other alternatives.
