Is one Sculptra treatment enough to build collagen for 2 years?

Question

I am a 30 yo woman. I have fillers in my cheeks and don't want any more fullness there. I do want fullness in my hollow cheeks tho (don't like the Buccal fat remove surgery look ) The reason i wanna do sculptra is only for building collagen which i read u can do for 2 years. But since i already look 5-10 years younger than my age, i don't feel like i need 2-3 treatments. Is 1 treatment enough for building collagen for 2 years ? Or is it just waste of money?

To preface, it's difficult for me to answer this without seeing your skin quality/elasticity and volume in person.
There's no way to say how long sculptra is going to last - but it typically does last 5 years when done appropriately. The general rule of thumb is 1 vial per every 10 decades of life for your age (even if you do look much younger than your stated age, research shows we begin to lose more & more collagen as we get older)
You can always try with 1 vial and give it 6-8 weeks to see improvement and decide if you'd like to add on more. I definitely do not think it would be a waste of money but it may potentially cost more than intended if you need more treatments.
Hope this helps!
