Pre-test for Sculptra Not Possible?

December 29, 2009
Asked By:lindyloo3 in UK

Instead of playing Russian Roulette with Sculptra and ending up in the 'most unlucky' category, why cannot a test be done on a less conspicuous area to see if your body is going to react and to what degree? Even if the area is different to the face, surely it will give SOME indication on how you are going to react to this product -- and would be even more money into the pockets of the injectors?
