Why Isn't Sculptra As Effective After Long-term Use?

Asked By:1272anon in MA

I have been getting Sculptra injections annually for about 6 years. My latest treatments were more difficult for the doctor because my skin has seemingly become more "dense"; the injection is difficult and the needle clogs a lot. Also, it seems the effect isn't as long lasting.
