Can you develop allergy to Sculptra?

Emereld33Mar 7, 2022
Hi, Had Sculptra many times over the years but new Dr injected me & 4 days later I had severe hives over entire body. Fekt unwell.The paramedics were called due to my throat itching &chest tightness. Is it safe for me to try a tester of Scupltra as this new Dr used a numbing gel which I never had previously plus Lidocaine. I understand Scupltra can be mixed instead with saline. Thank you so much.
