9 months ago I received a vile of Sculptra in each cheek. At the same time I received a fractional Co2 laser over the whole face. When the Sculptra was administered I was already numbed and had eye shields on. On injecting I heard Dr tell someone “now rub that in.” It happened on the same side that is botched.
