I Sculptra injected with a fanning technique. Immediately upon the second of four injections, I felt a pressure, swelling and numbness that was hard to ignore (this was my 4th or 5th time with Sculptra and this has never happened).

It seems to me that an allergy would be global rather than selective, but it did scare me a bit.
