Is sculptra appropriate for patients in their 20s?

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for Sculptra. Sculptra works by increasing and building up your own body's collagen gradually with very natural and long term effects. My advice would be to look for an experienced injector who can work with you to chose the best injectables to fit your needs. We often use sculptra and Voluma together in different tissue planes.

The answer is YES!
Sculptra is a great option if you have a very thin face and are having trouble keeping facial volume.  The product effectively stimulates your own body to produce collagen and can do so with very long term effects.  My suggestion is that you look for an experienced injector who is well trained not only in Sculptra but also in the other injectables so that you can get a more balanced view of what specifically will work for you.
I hope that helps!  

Yes, Sculptra is a great product for younger patients. Sculptra is a great product for improving facial volume and collagen building, but for best results, I recommend using it in a combination depending on desired results. I combine Sculptra with other fillers, lasers, toxins and skin care to give immediate results. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

This is a great question!  Sculptra is a unique product that works by gradually stimulating your body's natural collagen production to subtly add volume and lift and contour the face.  The results gradually build over time, and it can take a few treatment sessions for best results.  Most patients find that their results last for up to two years.
I find that Sculptra works particularly well for patients with thinner faces.  Patients in their 20's definitely can get Sculptra treatments, however I would recommend that you schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss the best treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.  Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. Sculptra is an injectable treatment that functions as a volumizer and caused your body produce its own filler. It is used to add volume to the face. Sculptra is a purified treatment of poly-L-lactic acid. When injected in the face, it stimulates your body to produce additional collagen, which will fill in the desired areas. Your body will begin producing collagen after a few weeks. Most people get 2-3 treatments to achieve ideal results. Once achieved, these results may last up 2-3 years. For more information, it is best to get a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist. 

Overall, Sculptra works by stimulating collagen production over time. It is also long-lasting-around two years. Although Sculptra can work in people in their 20s, it is best to consult with a certified physician to determine if this filler is a good choice for you. 

If you have a very lean face and metabolize fillers very fast , you are an excellent candidate for  Sculptra. The beauty of Sculptra is that  you build your own collagen and the results are natural and gradual. Once you achieve desired result your results will last a long time ( around 2 years)This will avoid you having to get too many fillers at you age.

You are probably noticing the loss of facial fat due to being quite lean.  This is a common problem among uber athletes. Sculptra will volumize your face by thinking the skin (adding collagen) which helps improve the appearance, often significantly.  Sometimes very thin patients will not 'stimulate' as well as we would wish which means more Sculptra (and increased cost) will be necessary.  Fat transfer if successful may remain for years to longer.  If you then gain weight later in life the transferred fat placed in your face ill increase in size so I'd suggest to discuss that option with your plastic surgeon.  If 2cc of Volume helped a lot, then probably 3-4 vials of Sculptra will be all that you might require.  The stimulated collage lasts for many years but most athletic patients do best with a vial of sculptra every year if they notice continued underlying fat loss.

I would not evaluate Sculptra based on age, rather on the amount of volume your face is lacking. Without photos it is difficult to give specific advice, however I can say that based on your history with Voluma you are probably a good candidate. Sculptra is great because it stimulates collagen production gradually over a series of treatments (this makes it very hard to overdo and nearly always produces a very natural look) and lasts a long time - in some cases greater than two years. I think if at your age you are already concerned about lack of facial volume, Sculptra would be a great option to consider. I recommend an in-person evaluation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with extensive experience using Sculptra and someone who is willing to customize a treatment plan for you based on your needs and goals.

This is an excellent question. Sculptra can absolutely be done in your 20s to correct facial hypotrophy (that is, replace areas where your bone and/or fat are insufficient) to give soft volume to facial features. You are correct that it works in a very different manner than Voluma. Prepare for multiple vials at multiple treatment sessions, and always seek service from a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Best of luck in your endeavors!
