Is sculptra appropriate for patients in their 20s?

January 31, 2017
Asked By:Somewhatvain in Dallas, Texas

I am 26 and have noticed a significant loss of volume in the past 2-3 years. I am quite thin and also have a long, thin face. I have received 2 syringes of voluma in the past year. While I am happy with the results of voluma, I notice that it does not seem to last very long. It also only creates volume in certain areas. I read that Sculptra works by stimulating collagen, but if I am only 26, do I have a significant loss of collagen that needs correcting? I would like my face to look less thin.
