I am getting my second Sculptra injection next week. I have only minimal hollowness and don't want much change. I've read some doctors who say that it takes 3 injections to solidify the longevity of 25 + months, others say any amount will last roughly that long, that it's the end result that determines the number of injections. Does it require 3 to have lasting results?

Answer: Longevity of results affected by number of Sculptra injections?
Each physician may have their own guidelines they follow with Sculptra where they obtain the best results. In general, Sculptra provides the most benefits when injected over multiple treatments, and the treatment sessions are generally spaced four weeks apart. It really depends on:
1) The areas addressed
2) The amount of volume loss.
3) The patient's individual goals
Having multiple treatments will provide optimal benefit and will give you the best and longest lasting result. 3 treatments is generally a good amount. I would be sure to communicate with your physician and let them know your concerns and what you would like to get from your treatment with Sculptra. This will ensure you are happy and obtain the desired outcome.
Thanks and I hope this helps!

Answer: Longevity Sculptra injections
The effects of each Sculptra injection are independent of other treatments. The greater the amount of product injected, the longer the visible correction will last because you are starting from a larger volume that was built up over a period of several months. However, you should not undergo injections that you do not need simply to try to ensure longevity of outcome. Overcorrection with Sculptra should be avoided.
