When Should I Start Seeing Results from Sculptra?

Sculptra results build up over the course of several months. Most patients will undergo a series of 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. By the end of the treatment sessions, most patients will be seeing the results from the initial treatment, but will continue to respond over the next few months. By 6 months after treatment, most patients will be seeing significant improvement, especially when compared to pre-injection photographs. Most patients and their friends/family will not notice a drastic change as the results build up slowly over time, not overnight.
All the best,

Hello, 

Thank you for your question. It usually takes about 2 months to see full results. Since you had 3 different injections over the course of 3 months, i would suggest that you evaluate at 2 months after the last injection. It is important to compare before and after photos when you evaluate, because Sculptra is subtle and the changes take place over time, some don't realize how much of a change has happened until they see the pictures.Good luck!

Typically the results of Sculptra can be seen starting at about six to nine months.  The volumization that occurs is gradual and then usually peaks at around this time. 

Sculptra is a unique substance.  One injects the substance.  Folks get excited with the volume, and then it goes away in two weeks.  It then comes back in 4 to 6 weeks as the water comes back into the substance.  The general rule of thumb is if you are 40, you will need 4 vials.  Best results can sometimes not be apparent until 6 to 9 months after treatment.  It is OK to ask your injector their thoughts on the subject.

You should start seeing results after three months. Full results are shown around five to six months.
