Is Sculptra safe and what is the cost of the treatment per session?

Sculptra is different from fillers. It is a volumizer that works as a seed. We implant the Sculptra and watch your body's response by it developing your own natural collagen. Most patients will need between one and two vials injected, and repeated in six weeks for a second treatment and a third treatment often six weeks after the second. The price can range considerably depending on the city in which the physician is located, and the amount of the Sculptra used.

Sculptra is a safe product to use and will provide long term contouring results. Prices can vary depending on location and injector, I would advise you to schedule a consultation with an expert injector. 

Sculptra works quite well for many patients, but does have risks, just like any other medical procedure or injectable treatment. Sculptra risks include bruising, swelling, pain, irregularity, infection, undesirable results, or nodularity, but most patients do very well with no significant side effects. 
Sculptra works best for restoring large areas of volume loss, but does require a series of treatments over the course of several months, so it is not a great option for someone who is on a constrained time schedule or needs fast results. With any treatment, it is best to be able to follow up with your injector on a regular basis.
Always see an expert physician injector.
All the best,

I would recommend consider Sculptra as an injectable filler that belongs in the hands of someone very experienced with dermal fillers as a whole.  It is different than most injectables in that the results are gradual but long-lasting.  You need an injector who understands the underlying anatomy and where to inject Sculptra to get the results that you are looking for.

Sculptra has generally been shown to be safe and is approved by the FDA for conditions similar to yours. However, it generally requires several treatments and you should be prepared to idnetify a practitioner who is willing to continue your treatments if necessary upon your return to Ireland.

collagen production...it works unlike a filler which gives instant but much less durable results...it takes several months for the benefits of sculptra to appear and then they continue to add improvement over the next several months...as with any procedure see a reputable doctor and be conservative...prices varies considerably depending on location, doctor, expertise, etc...

I would love to have seen your photo to see how your facial "stone" loss.  If there is a great deal of extra skin you might require a face lift to correct your facial wrinkles.  If the main problem is the loss of volume, then Sculptra is the ideal product.  You will need at least two injections, spaced 6 weeks apart to maximize your results.  One to two vials will need to be injected into each side of your face.  After 6 weeks, Sculptra will produce collagen in your own body and you will achieve the volume that you want.  The cost varies from State to State and the experience of the injector.  Sculptra is not a commodity and looking only for the "best price" can leave you very dissappointed with the results.  Sculptra is safe but it is important to find an experienced injector for this procedure who is board certified with years of cosmetic dermatology experience.

Isabell, I think that Sculptra is safe enough to have it in my own face and highly recommend it for others that can benefit from it. As discussed, it is a process and not a one time deal so be prepared to have someone at home continue your treatment unless you travel to USA frequently. It is very important that whoever you choose is well trained as this product takes more skill than do some and lasts a lot longer. 

Isabell, You can have Sculptra in Ireland. It is called NewFill. The safety of the material has been assured by the CE mark in Europe and The FDA in the USA.

Sculptra is safe and extremely effective for long-term contouring and filling of the face. However, it is extremely important that the physician you choose to inject this product is well trained. This is because the product is unlike other dermal fillers and therefore an untrained physician injecting it could cause irreversible damage to your face.
The good news is the company that makes Sculptra is great about training physicians on the specificities of injecting the product and they are very strict about only selling the product to those trained physicians. Their website www.sculptraaesthetic.com is an excellent source to find one of these physicians in your area. You can also learn more at my personal Sculptra website.
