Is 68 Too Old to Expect Good Results from Sculptra?

In my experience, I've had many good results in patients over 65 using Sculptra. Given the fact that more mature skin has less collagen at baseline due to sun, genetics and other enviornmental factors, more sculptra treatment sessions are usually necessary for older patients. Additionally, I have found that it takes slightly longer for older patients to respond to the product and begin producing collagen from the Sculptra. Sculptra is a nice product for volumizing the face, hence diminishing the lines in the cheeks and creating a lifting effect. Just remember that it will likey require more treatments (3-5) and take slightly longer to see results. Please make sure you have the treatment performed by an experienced Sculptra injector so you will get the best results possible.

68 is not too old to have Sculptra treatments.  However, the older you are you may require more treatment sessions to restore the volume loss at your age.

So I recommend serial Sculptra injections.  The older you are the more treatments you need to accomplish the volume loss at your age.  At your age, in our practice, you would get 3-5 Sculptra sessions however we need to see you to evaluate  the volume goal and determine a treatment plan.  Best Wishes!!

Sculptra is a drug that stimulates collagen production by your body.  As opposed to hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Belotero, Sculptra exerts its effect gradually.  It sometimes takes several sessions to build up sufficient volume to produce the desired aesthetic effect.  I typically use Sculptra as a complement to the hyaluronic acid fillers as I find that some parts of the face respond best to Sculptra while others respond most favorably to other products.

Generally speaking, if you have had some improvement with Sculptra treatments, I would say that additional treatments should give you further improvement.  Two treatments would be the minimum that I would expect to give you any improvement.  It is likely that a third or even fourth treatment would give you a more significant result.  And your age alone should not determine if you have a good result from Sculptra.  Other factors, such as the thickness of your skin and amount of existing tissue under the skin are probably more important.
