I got a needle mark (vertical) on my temple area from Sculptra injection 7 weeks ago and can feel the mark. I followed up with my doctor in Edina, MN. She said she couldn’ t feel it and told me that’s my vein. Any advices on whether it’s needle mark and how to treat it?

Answer: Needle mark 7 weeks after injecting Sculptra
Injectables places on the cheekbone to the hairline make sense if you’re trying to achieve a nonsurgical facelift. Speak with an expert. Good luck. Dr. Aldo
SculpSure is a non invasive laser treatment that treats up to 25% of fat in the targeted area, it does not reduce redundant skin. It is difficult to assess without a consultation if what you are concerned about is excess skin or fat.
Thank you for your question. Sculptra is safe to use as long its done by board-certified provider. Please make sure you research the before and after pictures and credentials of the providers you are interested in working with.
