My Dr. has been diluting & injecting Sculptra within minutes?

Sculptra injectable comes to the physician in a powder- wafer form and does need to be hydrated/reconstituted prior to use. We do this several days prior and have found this reduces the clogging issues compared to hydrating this within a few hours. Different injector providers may have slightly different timetable experiences. Sculptra of course works to stimulate one’s own collagen over time, so an understanding of realistic response timetables is also important. 

Sculptra should be reconstituted a minimum of two hours but up to several days prior to treatment. Some injectors may not want to do this too early if they are afraid they will not have the volume of business that may leave the Sculptra going unused and wasted. Sculptra requires an experienced injector for best results - a board certified derm or plastic surgeon is your best bet for this treatment. Good luck. 

One of the main reasons for hydrating Sculptra is the difficulty it is associated with injection.  The powder that is not dissolved by hydration is difficult if not impossible to inject.  There are reasons for pre-mixing at certain times.  Despite the manufacturers recommendations it can be mixed at variable times prior to injection; depending on the physician's preference and technique. There is no evidence that results are related to time of hydration.If there are no adverse effects, referring to your injector as "this guy" shows disrespect. If not adverse effects are temporary and treatable.Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.
