as to how long it takes to see affects, answer range from "a little while" to "some time" to one doc who said, quote " it is a slowwwwww process". Can one of the docs quantify these expression so that they are helpful? I have had first treatment-two of recommended five vials a a month ago. i see nothing. I do not want to make a costly mistake. Can someone please provide a timetable that has some meaning? thanks

Answer: Sculptra injections in Los Angeles We often combine Sculptra injections with oral vitamin C and stimulatory retinoids to enhance effect. Patients begin to see results immediately, followed by gradual improvement over 90 days. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Answer: Volumizing Fillers, Unlike Sculptra Yield Immediate Results. It usually takes up to six months to see the results of Sculptra treatment, which works solely by stimulating neocollagenesis (i.e. new, native collagen synthesis), a process that requires a series of relatively expensive Sculptra treatments and takes six months on average to see maximal results. For this reason, I personally gave up using Sculptra several years ago in favor of the use of semipermanent volumizing fillers, such as Radiesse and Voluma XC (in my Upper East Side Manhattan practice), both of which, either injected alone or combination, yield IMMEDIATE gratifying results, while ALSO stimulating neocollagenesis to further improve the results with time and prolong their effects--which may last up to two years. (In my Israel satellite facility, where a greater number of regulatory agency approved fillers and volumizers are available, I would opt for such robust natural injectables as Stylage XXL, Emervel Volume, Teosyal Deep, and Restylane SQ). In most cases, one treatment session is sufficient to achieve the desired results.Basically, experience has led me to forget the Sculptra (so that my patients don't have to end up asking experts on Realself when they're going to realize some ROI from their relatively expensive Sculptra treatments).
