Im 30, chinese & had history of keloid conditions. I have recently paid for Sculptra for my face. I have just looked at the website for more detail to realise that sculptra is not for people who has keloid. Since i have paid for it and may not be issued a refund, wonder how dangerous would it be to go ahead? I have keloids on my chest, back and on my bum only never had it on my face from acne/injury. Any doctors / people have experience (with failing/successful stories) would help alot!
