I am 37 & seem to have prominent nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The marionette lines bother me the most. I have tried Juvederm in the past a few times, but that didn’t seem to help as expected. Felt I wasted money. So my Dr. suggested Sculptra. I have done one session of Sculptra (2 Vials) 1 month ago & going for a 2nd session soon. (Another 2 Vials). Is this going to help or am I wasting money? Do I need a lift at my age already? How Can I get rid of these! Ugh!
