The R.N. at the clinic has given me all info on Sculptra and she would perform the 4 proceedures I will need. Would her qualifications be enough to ensure a good outcome or should I use a plastic surgeon?
Answer: Sculptra injector should be qualified
The person that injects Sculptra should be a highly qualified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. This is not an easy product to do a good job with and will be there for a long time. Incorrect mixing and injecting can cause nodules(can happen even if done correctly, but less common)and this cannot be dissolved. I thought that the company will only sell this to a qualified , trained provider so this puzzles me a bit. You will be paying good money for this so make sure the person that does it is well trained as you deserve good treatment. See someone else.

Answer: Avoid Sculptra injections by an inexperienced injector - ask for before/ after photos Avoid Sculptra injections by an inexperienced injector - ask for before/ after photos. I echo the comments of my colleagues that the maker of Sculptra will only sell the product to core aesthetic physicians. If you have been seen by a mid-level provider supervised by a core physician with ALOT of Sculptra experience and good before/ after photos, you can go ahead with the treatment. However, if you're not shown photos or there's no MD to be found in the practice or the injector is not supervised by a core physician, please pass and find an experienced plastic surgeon to do your Sculptra injections. Only time can make Sculptra (or a bad result) disappear and we're talking about up to 2 years of time. Get in done properly by an experienced injector the first time.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Answer: Only an experienced MD should do Sculptra
Sculptra should only be performed by a very experienced doctor (MD) as it is an advanced treatment. I suggest going to the sculptra website to find a doctor in your area.

Answer: Sculptra is a very advanced treatment only a MD should perform
Sculptra is a very advanced treatment only a MD should perform. It should also only be performed by an MD with lots of experience with the product. Unlike other HA fillers it cannot be reversed with Hyaluronidase. The main Sculptra website has a doctor locator. If you are near the LA area come see me as I am one of the top Sculptra injectors in the entire country!

Answer: Sculptra injectors - do your research
The company who manufactures Sculptra currently only sells the product to board-certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists. Because a high level of skill and extensive knowledge of facial anatomy are needed to inject Sculptra. I would recommend you see a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon (i.e. an experienced doctor) for your injections. The Sculptra website has a list of providers in your area, which you can search by location.
