How Long Do the Results of Sculptra Last?

The results from Sculptra can last 2-3 years.  I encourage patients to return for follow-up in about 1.5 years for an evaluation.

Sculptra is an injectable volumizer that stimulates the body to make collagen, resulting in increased volume and thicker skin. While the process takes multiple treatment sessions and the improvement is gradual, the results are long lasting. Improvement can last 2-3 years after being fully treated. I have been using Sculptra in my NYC office since its arrival to the US in 2004 and I find that it can give improvements that are unsurpassed by other available products. It can add volume to the cheeks, chin, forehead, and temples. Make sure you go to a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist experienced with this product because many doctors do not have much experience with using Sculptra.

The results from Sculptra® can last up to two years after doing the necessary amount of treatments to increase collagen production and restore volume and texture to your skin.

I have been using Sculptra in my practice for several years and have been very impressed with the longevity  of results.  I recommend patients return in about a year to year and a half to reevaluate their results and consider getting a "booster" vial. I have seen that most of those patients who return have maintained a good correction.  We then sometimes choose to treat additional areas to maintain a natural appearing overall volume correction. Based on my personal experience I have seen improvement last 2 to 3 years. Certain patients who are very volume depleted to begin with may not have the same length of improvement.  I take pictures of all patients who have Sculptra as it is very easy to forget the starting point of each person. Patients themselves are frequently very surprised as they themselves don't always remember their pre-treatment appearance either.

I guess I'm the opposite. Full understanding is important. A "FULL" treatment could be 2 to 3 months or more and costs upto $5-6K. But if a FULL treatment is done the results could last a few years. But I would recommend a one time treatment of fat grafts of 50 to 100 cc's injected. About a week healing and the results could last as long if not longer.
