Sculptra Transformation - I see people post pictures of subtle improvements but mine was incredible

How long did it take and how many treatments did it take to get your results? It looks amazing!

I had 10 vials. My Doctor injected 2 vials each month. It had taken 6 months of being extremely patient before I seen significant facial volume.

I seen no improvement until my 4th vial which was only a very subtle improvement but the more vials after that i gradually seen more and more improvement until by the 10th vial i had significant facial volume.

Mostly, but also some injected in my temple, lower face and jawline areas.

My understanding is that Sculptra is a gradual treatment. The typical treatment is two vials every six weeks -- typically a total of one vial per decade of life, but that's not a hard rule, could be more or less depending on degree of correction desired. Sculptra is not a filler, such as Juvederm; instead, it causes collagen production to accelerate (it slows as we get older). That acceleration continues for about 6 months, which is the point in time you should see maximum benefit. That effect lasts about two years, but collagen slowly diminishes again. But you don't wait to deflate again. You get a "touch up" every 12-14 months, could be shorter or longer depending on how fast or slow your metabolism runs.

I got Scrulptra for the first time 6 weeks ago, then again one week ago. Once injection site swelling goes down (two days), I could only see a very subtle improvement, barely noticeable. This week (week 8), I'm seeing more improvement, but still subtle. My third treatment will be in about 5 weeks from now, that will mark month 4. I expect to see good progress by then. My cost for two vials is $1,200, so a total of $3,600 for all three treatments. Not cheap, but if I get a reasonably long lasting affect, I'll keep up with the annual maintenance.

Hi, can you please give me the name of your Derm? Trying to find a reputable doctor for this treatment. Thanks.

great results!! are you still happy? dd you develop any lumps?

You say you've lost all the volume? Does that mean you are back to your first photo?

This is not meant to be mean, but I hope you will not get these injections anymore.

No I don't feel your being mean. In fact my family agrees with you.

From my prespective of your before after 5 years pictures I feel like at first it make you look younger but older at long term? how is your prespective?

You mentioned below you had good results with Scupltra , but now you said you had " little" results ..

From what I can see in this comment, you no longer recommend using sculptra?. It Is it better to use radiessse then?
