Are there deep collagen stimulating alternatives to Sculptra for people prone to hypertrophic scarring and granulomas?

June 5, 2019
Asked By:fitsknits in New York, New York

I have experiences with hyaluronic acid fillers forming granulomas - specifically volbella. I have hypertrophic scarring from childhood injuries. I like the idea of Sculptra stimulating collagen and has long term benefits. But I believe I am a poor candidate. Is there anything that is safe for people like me who want to ease the first signs of aging?
