Is sculptra for the temples predictable/controllable?

Question

I keep hearing that sculptra is excellent for this area. And that it is a long term solution. Though I'm also seeing that it takes 1-2 months before you see results. I'm a bit nervous about having something that forms a "web" and keeps "growing" over time injected into my face as it seems like it might not be easily controlled?? I'm hoping you could explain the pros and cons and a bit more how it works as it sounds truly bizarre to me. Also, is it safe? What is in it + can it be reversed? Thanks so much!

Yes, it is an excellent option for the temple area (depending on the patient of course). It is safe. You just need to make sure to see a facial sculpting expert who specialized in facial contouring. Make sure you see a board certified cosmetic dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon. Best, Dr. Emer.

Sculptra is the best product to inject for the temples.  Because Sculptra is a liquid injection it can be injected slowly and it will build slowly over time.  It usually takes two or three sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to have the complete effect of Sculptra.  Sculptra is again the best product to inject into the temples.  Please consult an expert into Sculptra for the best cosmetic injections.  Best, Dr. Green

Hello and thank you for your question.  We have been performing sculptra treatments for many years.  It is a safe, natural way to build collagen.   Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid, which is a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production.  Depending on the patients need for volume in the temples, a half vial to 1 full vial is injected per temple.   Initial results take 6-12 weeks to appear, full results may take up to 6 months.  Treatments should be done very carefully to make sure you do not over do.  Be sure to go to an experienced cosmetic doctor well-versed in sculptra treatments for a consultation.  Good luck to you and I hope this helps!!!

Sculptra is a collagen stimulating filler that is a good option for temple volume loss. I also use Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne for temples. I find that most fillers tend to last longer in the temples then other parts of the face. Sculptra is a safe and effective treatment.
