I've had a few consultations, and am very confused on whether it's best to have one vial split between each side (4cc each side) or one full 8cc on each temple as I have been quoted on first appointment. I know there is a few follow up appts 4-6 weeks but what's the most common dosing.
Answer: Dosing of Sculptra in the temples Sculptra dosing (like any treatment) should be tailored to the specific patient. Some patients may need more correction than others in a given area. In my practice, most patients need only 1 vial of Sculptra per treatment session split between both temple areas. This would then be repeated at least once, and usually twice more over the course of the next 8-12 weeks. If any volume is needed in the cheek areas (which most patients would benefit from as well), then 2 vials per treatment session might be needed to address both cheeks and both temples at the same time.

Answer: Sculptra for Temples This is a great question that is best answered by being able to perform a thorough evaluation of you in person or with photos by a physician experienced with Sculptra treatments. That being said, I've had great results with using Sculptra to add volume to hollow temples. Patients like the gradual filling effect from their own collagen production. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Sculptra dosing in temples Hello,All good feedback from panel members. Without seeing you in person, it's difficult to speak to your treatment plan. However, generally speaking, most patients benefit from 1 vial divided between both temples. To answer your question as to what is the appropriate dosing for temples - the amount that will offer the best improvement with the least financial investment. In addition, Sculptra treatments are done over a series of 3 visits on average. Therefore, caution is used in not over-filling on the first treatment.

Answer: SCULPTRA NJ Hello - my general rule of thumb after injecting several hundred Sculptra patients is that I favor more sessions with less volume injected at each session. In other words, it is more accurate and optimal results are achieved with 1 vial injected through 3-4 sessions than 2 vials injected through 2 sessions.Best of luck!

Answer: Sculptra Injections Hello jtfivestar! Sculptra often takes multiple sessions to achieve correction and these sessions should be spaced at least 4-6 weeks apart as Sculptra takes time to build (collagen). An expert will be able to determine how many vials you will need and sometimes it's best to do one or two vials a year for preventative measures once correction is achieved. Hope this helps! Dr. Monika Kiripolsy
