Can Sculptra be used on the forearms?

Question

I have recently seen a significant change in the skin on my forearms and décolletage. In exploring my treatment options, I've read that Sculptra can be used on the décolletage AND that fillers can be used for the hands. Why is it that I can find so little on this treatment modality for the forearms? Can this region not be treated similarly by use of collagen-stimulating Sculptra or fillers? I welcome and appreciate any and all feedback. Many thanks.

Thank you for your question.  Sculptra can definitely be used in the forearms and decolletage.  Sculptra adds volume to the area needed. Sculptra provides a natural-looking appearance that is gradual, long-lasting by replacing collagen and restores the look of fullness.  It is always recommended to schedule a consultation with an experienced physician for a proper evaluation and optimal results.  All the best

Thank you for your question. Sculptra can be used to help thinning skin on the arms, but at a different dilution than what we use on the face. You likely don't see much info on this for a few reasons. One, it's an off-label indication. Two, it is an advanced injection technique which many injectors do not have experience with. Three, it can require several vials over several sessions and can become costly. To see if you are a candidate for the treatment I would recommend an in-person consultation and examination with an experienced Sculptra physician. Hope this helps.

Sculptra is a great treatment option for decolletage. It could be used theoretically off label anywhere on the body where there is skin laxity and thinning of skin. It is commonly used on the arms, above the knees, decolletage, and even neck.

Dear sunshinepaige,
Yes, Sculptra can be used on the forearms, décolletage and other skin-relaxed and collagen losing areas. You find little to read on it because it is an off-label use and while injector numbers are increasing, this is evolving. You may also consider using collagen inducing threads such as Eurothreads directly into the dermis for added support and collagen production.
