A: The unit comparisons between Jeuveau and Dysport aren't straightforward due to differences in formulation, potency, and units of measure. However, as a general rule, Jeuveau is about twice as potent as Dysport, meaning your treatment of 25 units of Jeuveau on each side of your jaw might indeed offer a comparable, if not potentially greater, effect than your previous 60 units of Dysport.
The comparison you've made translates to approximately 100 units of Dysport when considering Jeuveau's potency. That said, individual responses to these treatments can vary widely, so it's essential to monitor your results and discuss any changes or concerns with your healthcare provider. They will help adjust your dosage to find the optimal amount for your desired outcome.
A: Sculptra and Bellafill are both effective bio-stimulatory fillers capable of addressing the sunken areas on your cheeks and temples.
Sculptra, composed of poly-L-lactic acid, works gradually to stimulate collagen growth and improve skin texture and volume. While Sculptra has shown positive results for you, it's true that its effects typically last up to 2 years, necessitating repeat treatments.
On the other hand, Bellafill, which combines collagen gel and PMMA microspheres, provides both an immediate plumping effect and prolonged collagen growth over time. While Bellafill is commonly used for treating acne scars, it's equally effective in addressing facial volume loss. A key advantage is its long-lasting results, potentially enduring for 5 years or more.
In essence, Bellafill could be a suitable option if you're looking for a longer-lasting solution to Sculptra. However, this decision should be made in consultation with a skilled injector who can assess your specific needs and guide you accordingly.
