I had first vial of sculptra injected in May 2015. (Saw slight results after 2 months.) Second vial in August 2015. (Slightly more volume noticed after a few months.) Third vial 5 month later, in February 2016. (Again, only slightly more volume noticed after about 2 months.) Is 3-5 months too long between treatments? Is it possible I saw less results because of spacing them too far apart?
