I just turned 59 in March. Am I too old for sculptra?

If you want true contouring and lifting of your face, Sculptra injections should be used as your base foundation with other fillers on top or around to give immediate lift and sustinance long term.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There is really not an upper age limit for the use of Sculptra in a patient.  It is more important to evaluate the patient, regardless of age, to determine if they might be a good candidate for treatment or not.  In general, both Sculptra and Voluma can give good results.  Voluma would normally require fewer treatment sessions but usually would not last as long as the result achieved with a series of Sculptra treatments.  

No. You
are definitely not too old for Sculptra. Sculptra is a great foundation for facial volume rejuvenation. It provides
a very natural infrastructure that can be built on as needed with other
fillers. Do not let your age deter you.

Whether or not sculptra will be effective depends on how healthy your skin is.  A young smoker with significant sun damage may be a poor candidate compared with an older non-smoker with minimal sun damage.  So if your skin is in good condition, and you have no contraindications to treatment (like a history of keloid scars), your age should not deter you.

At 59, there are several areas that need correction.  Sculptra is great for this because it allows for a general complete facial volumization.  Using HA fillers, you almost have to pick different areas to improve because it is often cost prohibitive to do the whole face.  I have done some large volumes of HA's and they don't quite look as natural as a Sculptra patient as well. Response to Sculptra depends on overall health, sun damage, and whether you are a smoker or not.

You are not too old for Sculptra! Sculptra® Aesthetic is intended for use in people with healthy immune systems as one time treatment regimen of up to 4 injection sessions that are scheduled about 3 weeks apart for correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles.Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acids or HAs. HA is a natural substance (complex sugar) found in all living organisms. It hydrates the skin by holding in water, and acts as a cushion and lubricant to reduce damage to the skin. It is found in connective tissue throughout the body, including the dermis of the skin. HA dermal fillers include Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Voluma, and Belotero. Juvederm and Restylane both contain the same amount of HA in the syringe. The cost is usually about the same for each 1 ml syringe.
