It's been well over 3 months since I got 2 vials of sculptra at once. I am 50 years old and very athletic, with thin angular face. I have hollows under my cheekbones that I wanted to address. I see very little, if no, improvement and am wondering if sculptra is just bad for me or if I need more. I am also considering Ultherapy but have heard some horror stories.

Answer: Best Sculptra And Ultherapy Results LA Hi Dragon,Sculptra volume correction is directly related to how many treatments you have. Usually two vials are used during the first treatment. 6 to 8 weeks later you should be reevaluated for more treatment. In a 50-year-old I would predict you would need about three sessions using 5 to 6 vials to get optimal volume correction. After the first treatment with two vials approximately 50% of patients see some improvement while the other 50% do not. The first treatment of sculptors sets the foundation for future treatments. After the second treatment with sculptra approximately 85 to 95% of patients see improvement. I have personally treated hundreds of patients over the past four years with both sculpturaand ultherapy. Ultherapy is an excellent combination to use with sculptress to get optimal facial rejuvenation. I am well aware of The reports of adverse reactions. I personally have not seen any of these problems with all Ultherapy. As with any cosmetic procedure, it is essential that you choose your treating physician most carefully. It is the combination of artistic vision and skillful use of the products and devices that results in the best Aesthetic outcomes. Good luck and be well. Michael Persky, MDEncino, CA

Answer: No results seen after Sculptra In order to obtain lasting results with Sculptra, normally several treatment sessions are required. Sculptra is a stimulating agent that gradually leads to improvement. Most people do not notice a significant change after only one treatment session. Ultherapy is a completely different treatment and does not add volume. It can produce some lifting effect though. The combination of fillers and Ultherapy is not uncommon.
