How Can a Single Touch Up of Sculptra Be Enough to Maintain Results?

camile
If Sculptra and/or the collagen created by it, last up to two years before completely breaking down, why do many surgeons insist that a touch up of just one vial is needed to maintain the effects? Wouldn't the whole process of three treatments have to be repeated to maintain the results?
