Was used in a demo in April by a doctor who teaches about Sculptra. It's now October! I'm 68, no fat, good candidate but wonder if I'll be "starting over!"
Answer: How Long Is Too Long Between Sculptra Procedures? Sculptra Lasts for Two Years
The dermal filler and collagen stimulator Sculptra lasts for about 2 years. Therefore, you will not be “starting over” if you get your second treatment six months later. Your Sculptra is still there, and has begun to stimulate your skin to produce new, strong strands of collagen. You can go ahead and begin layering treatments over that base layer. Although the first layer will start to be metabolized sooner than subsequent layers, we can compensate for that with yearly maintenance Sculptra treatments. First though, complete your series until you achieve the desired result. Please find a board-certified dermatologist to finish your Sculptra treatments to get the most beautiful and uniform remodeling.

Answer: Sculptra Hello,Thank you for your question. The company suggest to do your first few treatments a couple months apart until you reach complete correction. However, with that being said, Sculptra can last about two years. So in answer to your question. No. It will not be like your starting over. You can still build upon the first injection. Congratulations on your treatment and good luck with the ones to come.

Answer: How long between Sculptra procedure? Sculptra treatments are usually done every 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow the growth of new collagen. The amt of vials and treatments is individualized per patient. Your medical provider should be able to better help you with that information. As far as how often to return for a touch up, most patients return every 1 1/2 to 2 years.

Answer: Spacing Treatments Between Sculptra Scultra is a great treatment for most patients. Since we are asking your cells to change into collagen producing cells, all of our bodies are going to respond differently. In order to know if this is a wothwhile treatment, I generally recommend two treatments; one followed by a second one 4-6 weeks later. Then a two month follow up to compare pictures and make sure we are seeing progress. We do not have any studies to guide us regarding your question-only experience. In our practice I feel it is still in the zone and would consider another treatment. If you had waited a year, you are probably starting over.

Answer: How long is too long between Sculptra procedures. Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Sculptra treatments should be spaced at 4-6 weeks during initial treatment but you have lose little in waiting 6 months. Go ahead and schedule your next treatment and stick to a set interval as most patients who are 68 will require 7 vials for complete correction. Hope this helps.
