Average Amount of Lidocaine Per Sculptra Vial?

November 2, 2012
Asked By:jennyct in Connecticut, CT

In the past I received sculptra without any anesthetic (no, I'm not kidding). I moved and the new dermatologist refuses to administer the injections unless she adds 4cc of 2% lidocaine. The literature suggests a lot less, so for me I think this is overdoing it, but she won't budge. What is the industry standard, and have any of you used that much?
