Age Limit for Sculptra?

Yes, Sculptra can still be used.  I would encourage you to see a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation to see how much Sculptra would be needed. 

While there is no true age limits for Sculptra, from my professional experience, I have found that younger the patient going through Sculptra injection, less vials, and less treatment injections may be needed vs. someone who is much more mature with more significantly deflated complexion where much greater volume replenishment and additional injection treatment sessions may be required. This has to do with the fact that there has to be a relatively healthy mechanism of collagen production for Sculptra PLLA to work effectively. I have found for patients in their 70's and older, Radiesse may be more appropriate and gratifying for cheek augmentation and volume replenishment as there will be less dependence of the innate collagen production capacity.

Whether or not Sculptra should be used is more related to the aging changes present than the chronological age of the patient.  Sculptra can produce very nice results in a 68 year old patient in situations of facial volume loss and realistic expectations.

Sculptra works very well in many patients who are 70+. The overall medical condition of the patient is more important than the age when considering Sculptra for facial augmentation.

I am happy to tell you that I do not consider 68 to be too old for Sculptra Injections!  Sculptra is indicated for increasing volume and to correct skin depressions, such as in skin creases, wrinkles, folds and also for skin ageing.  It is therefore an ideal option for the mature patient provided they are otherwise a suitable candidate for the treatment.  It may be that as an older patient you will require a longer treatment plan than a younger patient, but this can be discussed with your doctor prior to treatment.  If you decide to go ahead Sculptra treatment, then I wish you the best of luck with your results.

68 is certainly not too old to attain the results you are looking for from Sculptra.  Older patients may require more treatment sessions, on average, than younger patients due to increased volume loss, but with patience and repeated treatments, excellent results can be achieved. Good luck.

You will never be too old to look younger and what a good opportunity to replace lost volume with sculptra. I would not hesitate to use this and have used in many seniors. 

Since Sculptra helps replace lost facial volume it can be used early in the course of aging and can be used in patients who are further along in the aging process. The number of treatments needed is different for everyone depending on how much volume their face has lost and how they respond to the treatments. It can also be used in patients who have undergone face lifts or other facial surgeries without interfering with the results of the surgeries and can enhance the result from surgery.

Sculptra can be used in adult patients at almost any age, assuming they are appropriate candidates.  The clinical trials for FDA approval only included patients to age 65, but it is an excellent choice even if you are older.  Best of oluck.  

In the clinical trials to get Sculptra Aesthetic cleared for marketing in the US, the average subject age was 51 years old.  The cutoff age for clinical trials is typically 65 but that does not mean that a product is not effective for patients 65 and older.  We have had patients with excellent results who are in their 70s.  The youngest patients are usually in their 30s.
