If Sculptra can last 2 or more years, when is it measured from?

Hello Persistent757699! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. The results of Sculptra vary from patient to patient, however, in general the results last for 2 years or more. This is measured from the last treatment. I hope this helps!

Results from Sculptra can vary by individual, but in my experience, I have seen results last 2-4 years in some people. I measure this from the last treatment and I have seen full correction be maintained for up to 4 years in some patients. Results could begin to subside before 2 years, but this will vary by individual as well.

Sculptra is a suspension of tiny particles which one administered under the skin creates a reaction where your body builds scar tissue (collagen) around each of the microscopic particles. That causes increase in volume. Normally individuals see increase in size 6 to 12 weeks after the procedure. The volumization effect can last two years or much, much longer. This is because there’s absolutely no reason for your body to destroy its own collagen buildup in the area. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
