Sculptra Under Eyes - Any advise for using Sculptra on this area for eye bags and wrinkles?

S
SpeckaJan 23, 2009

My doctor said I would benefit from using Sculptra for the little criss cross wrinkles and bagging under my eyes. I haven't read much on Sculptra being used in this area. She tried Botox, but it doesn't really do too much in that area. I just turned 44 years old and am fair-skinned. I am also concerned about excessive bruising in that area. Any advise for using Sculptra on this area for eye bags and wrinkles? Thanks!

The good thing about most injectable products is that they are not permanent, so most problems that occur will resolve on their own over time. This is true for Sculptra. Nodule or granuloma formation with Sculptra is possible, but the first thing to try for any nodularity after injectable...

Some collagen that is produced may stay for more than one or two years. Fat injections may not work because it is a graft which has to live once it is harvested from one part of your body and placed into the hands. When it does work, it can last for several years or more.

Sculptra tends to last about two years in most patients, although many patients will see results for a shorter or longer period of time. I tell most patients to expect results for 2-3 years if they follow a full series of initial treatment sessions. I also believe that some patients will...

One disadvantage of Sculptra is that it cannot be dissolved like hyaluronic acid-based products. The effects of Sculptra simply take time to resolve. If a patient is unhappy with the results of Sculptra, there may be other injectables or procedures that could help to camouflage or...

Radiesse is a filler that is made of Synthetic Calcium hydroxyapatite and adds volume. Sculptra primarily stimulates collagen because it is made of a biocomposable material known as Poly-L-lactic Acid. Radiesse provides immediate results, while Sculptra gives gradual results, but may last up to...
