I really liked the results I had attained from the swelling of my first session of Sculptra. But now, after three vials, I am still left waiting to see those same results. I read that it takes approximately five vials of Sculptra to achieve the same effect as obtained from the initial swelling form the Sculptra and Lidocaine. Yet, a physician told me that each particular session of Sculptra should produce the results obtained from the swelling of that particular session. Which is the case? Will I need more sessions or should I wait it out?

Jil, There should be no problem with getting a facial after sculptra. We have patients massage their sculptra five times a day for five minutes for five days. This is not a "no touch" procedurre. After that there is no other special treatment needed and a facial certainly should...
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.
Two vials for the initial treatment is fine. It sounds like you have some bruising from the injections which are common and will go away over the next few weeks. Hopefully a little make-up can help to minimize the appearance of the bruising.
