Is there anything that can be done to make Sculptra go away quicker? I got it done at the end of May and I hate my results.

Question

FYI I know it can't be dissolved but looking to see if anything else can be done, thanks.

As Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid-based dermal filler that stimulates your body's own collagen production, it is not easily reversible or dissolvable like some other types of fillers. However, the effects of Sculptra are not permanent and will gradually decrease over a period of 1-2 years as your body metabolizes the product.
Here are a few suggestions that might help to speed up the process, although they might not significantly reduce the duration of Sculptra's effects:1. Regularly massaging the treated area can potentially help to distribute the product more evenly and may speed up the process of breaking down the product.2. Staying well-hydrated can help your body metabolize the Sculptra more quickly.3. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can support your overall metabolism, which may help your body process the Sculptra faster.
It's important to discuss your dissatisfaction with the results of your treatment with a healthcare provider. They can assess your situation and provide guidance on any potential solutions that might be available.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

The short answer to your question is "No".  There is no reliable, predictable, or safe way to dissolve the effects of Sculptra.  The effects of Sculptra include collagen deposition as a reaction to the Sculptra injection.  The effects will diminish over time, but can last 2-3 years.  Probably best to see your Injector to discuss the issues that you are having.
