When should I see Sculptra results in temples?

I find that a combination approach is needed for this area.  you may have needed more to start.  It takes 3-6 months to see improvement with sculptra and formal and 3D photos should be obtained.  I combine with an immediate filler or PRP to get even more collagen production long term.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There are several factors which can influence how soon results can be seen after Sculptra treatments.  The severity of the starting point and the characteristics of the patient's skin can determine whether results are seen sooner or later.  In some cases, where the starting point of volume loss is fairly mild, it may only take one or two sessions before some improvement is seen.  In cases where the volume loss is more severe, it could take three or more sessions to see the beginning of noticeable results.  The alternative would be to use a filler which adds volume immediately, rather than a stimulating agent such as Sculptra.  The downside to this alternative is that generally, the results would not be maintained for as long as those seen with Sculptra. 

Thank you for your question. I have found for long term treatment of temple volume loss that Sculptra works very well. Since the amount of volume loss in the temple is different in everyone the amount of Sculptra needed varies from patient to patient. The more volume loss the more treatments and the longer it takes to see the result. But in my experience the volume that is created lasts a long time. I do have patients return to see me for occasional follow up treatments to keep up with the continual increasing volume loss that develops as we age.
