I was told by the doctor who injected me that this product would work with my natural collagen, and when injected, after 3 to 6 weeks it would cause the reaction of 'new collagen' to form! I was also advised that one treatment (2 viles) would do the trick at the cost of $3000, a once in a decade gift I was giving myself, and No Results, or so slight they were only noticed by the doctor who injected. The problem I was told, was that he under-estimated the number of treatments needed. My question finally, is there a way, by looking at a patient, a doctor can accurately tell a potential patient, how many treatments are needed?
Answer: Determing how many Sculptra sessions and vials are needed The variables on deciding how much Sculptra a patient needs include a number of factors. It is not always possible to give an exact estimate, but rarely does one treatment session provide the level of results most patients need (or want)

Answer: How much Sculptra should a patient have? Hello,That's a very disappointing experience and costly too. You have been much feedback from panel members, but we would like to outline a general treatment plan that most patients benefit from. Most of our Sculptra patients are those that are forty and over and in need of volume replacement. Although traditional fillers may accomplish this, Sculptra provides for a more sustainable and overall volume replacement approach. With that said, the key (for most) is to have a SERIES of three treatments over a period of 6 months. If we understand that we are "growing" collagen, this is performed over a period of time. By spacing treatments apart from each other, we have a better idea the amount of product and location with each visit. Typical Treatment Plan: 1-2 vials visit #1, 1-2 vials #2 (6 weeks after first visit), 1 vial 3rd visit (3-4 months after 2nd visit)Finally, most younger patients are better served with traditional gel fillers. We suggest that practitioners review all options to help patients decide the best treatment plan based upon budget, needs, goals, age, etc.

Answer: How many Sculptra treatments are needed? Most patients will undergo a series of Sculptra treatment sessions (3-4) with 1-2 vials of Sculptra used per session, depending on the patient and the areas to be addressed. An experienced injector will be able to estimate how many treatments and vials might be needed, but every patient reacts differently, and this would only be an estimate. An individual might need more or less product than was originally recommended. The only way to know this is to assess the response over time.

Answer: Sculptra Vials Needed Every face will have a different response and different volumetric needs. Faces with small amount of volume loss may need a vial of sculptra. More commonly, patients need multiple vials over multiple sessions. It is better to treat patients over several sessions to gauge their response to Sculptra and gradually improve and fill the face for them.
