I am/was happy... thought I noticed a difference when I first had the sculptra injected... could be from the swelling. I did bruise, which I was not expecting to so badly. It took 2 weeks for the bruising to go away. Maybe you can suggest something to lessen this.Hi, I had sculptra about 5-6 weeks ago but I don't really see a difference. I will be going for another fill in a week. How long does it take to see something is happening.... I know it takes time but what timeframe is realistic? Will this second fill make the difference?
Thank you

I needed a second treatment to see the difference. Results at about 3 months after first round. Treatments were 8 weeks apart.

Regarding the bruising: I applied ice immediately after the treatment and continued to reapply for the first day. I also used Traumeel cream for inflammation.

Hi, thanks for the responses... just had another treatment two weeks ago and starting to see a difference. So far, so good... no regrets. I believe 3 months before I see the full results of the treatment. I do recommend sculptra but with a very experienced doctor.

Hello I had Sculptra about 2 years ago or so. THe first treatment your not going to see a difference it is obsorbed by the body its not until your second tratment that you notice a difference. I had evolve and i didnt care for it. THe sculptra lasts for about 2 years. I think i did about 4 injections. so you will need about 3 to 4. hope this helps!

I have had 4 vials over the course of a year..every 3 months. I had no results at all after the 1st treatment...It was very gradual and my derm waited for full results 3 months later before continuing. I recommend it by only by someone who has has done many treatments.My Dr has done over 1000 and he has some patients from 5 years ago that still have their results.....so go REAL slow as it can be semi-permanent
