Sculptra for sagging skin? How does that work? (photos)

User Avatar

I have seen doctors recommend Sculptra for loose skin on arms and thighs. I understand it is a collagen stimulator and of course a volumizer for the face. I am having a hard time understanding how it could help loose skin on arms or legs. Why would that work? Wouldn't it take huge amounts ($$$$) How long would it last? Would it require a re-do every 6 months, 2 years? How much would it take for say arms vs thighs? And cost? Thanks!
