Do younger people create collagen faster after Sculptra? What is the timing of results dependent upon?

Question

I am 32 years old. In my research download on sculptura, I’ve come across a rather large range on when results show up. Anywhere from one to six months, my question is, what is this dependent on? Is it dependent on your age, do younger people create collagen, quicker? Is it genetics? Diet?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

In general, I would say the results after a Sculptra treatment occur in 1-2 months after the injection.  I find that this is true for almost all patients.  Sculptra treatment normally requires a series of injections spaced over time to give gradual results.  In patients with more volume loss, more treatments will be needed to give the best improvement.  So, the final results would generally take longer in someone with more volume loss.  Normally, there is some improvement after each treatment but the results may not be as noticeable at the beginning as toward the end of the treatment sessions.
