PLLA thread lift vs Sculptra?

jdenise3101
Sculptra and PLLA threads are made of the same thing and thus both should produce collagen using a similar process. However, many say PLLA threads produce the “bad” type of collagen (I can’t recall if it was type one or type three akin to fibrotic scar tissue). Why the difference? And are there similar risks of granulomas? I've read awful experiences by Sculptra but have successfully had many thread lifts (though, the PDO type).
