4 weeks ago I had sculptra which has improved the volume in my face, although at the corners of my mouth I am beginning to get what I see as a sad looking mouth!
The Dr did say that sculptra might not work in this area. I have been told by a nurse that radeesse cannot be used where sculptra has not worked, because they do not mix.
