I read a comment by someone who complained because Sculptra was injected under her eye undiluted. I don't understand this. Wouldn't it be a rip off if someone diluted your filler injection?
Answer: Dilution of Sculptra is now standardized by Sanofi-Aventis Sculptra is increasingly popular for its use as Liquid FaceLift ever since its cosmetic indication approved by the FDA. It has taken few years of trials and few errors for advanced physician injectors and Sanofi-Aventis to standardize dilution of Sculptra where nodularities can be minimized. 6cc of sterile water is typically reconstituted 48-72 hours prior to injection followed by 2cc of 1% lidocaine with or without epinephrine, depending on the preference of your board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Answer: Does Sculptra need to be diluted before it is injected Sculptra comes in a powder form that is not injectable. It must be diluted into liquid before it will flow in an injectable form. The reconstitution techniques vary from one injector to another.

Answer: Sculptra dilution The reason physicians dilute Sculptra is that it comes in a solid form and we need to evenly disperse the Sculptra to the areas that you are looking to volumize. I typically use a 9cc (9ml) dilution per vial in the face to allow for a fairly diffuse and homogenous distribution of the Sculptra in the face. As long as you are paying for and getting a full vial, then I wouldn't focus as much on the amount of water they are adding to dilute the sculptra.

Answer: Sculptra Dilution Explained Sculptra arrives in a bottle as a fine powder and is mixed with sterile water the day before injection. Since you can't inject powder, this is the only way Sculptra is used.
