I had Sculpsure on my outer thighs 15 weeks ago. The setting was 1.4 throughout the treatment, it was very painful, and the area was tender for weeks afterward, with lots of palpable lumps. Yet, for all that, I've seen a minimal reduction in thigh circumference (1/4"). My lovely doctor has offered to treat the area again at a very, very reduced price. But is it worth doing again? Am I more likely to see results a second time? Or can I reasonably assume I'm just a poor responder?

Answer: SculpSure Thank you for your question. It would be worth a revisit consultation to determine the setting of the machine during your first treatment and how an increased setting in your potential second treatment can benefit your results. More than likely, your second treatment will be able to supplement the first treatment to become closer to your desired result. Please always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: 2nd treatment with Sculptra Please note that the standard of care is two treatments about 6 weeks apart for optimal results. In fact we usually encourage the patients to buy a package treatment as almost all patients will need the second treatment, This does not mean that you should not have any results for the first treatment and in fact many patients do see fantastic results within few week. We just see much steeper improvement with the second treatment. You should also try to have your MD move the applicator around a bit of you are experiencing pain. It's usually on of the four plates that causes most of the pain and that pain is often resolved with some relocation of the plate.
