43 years old, slender athletic build. I had 4 total vials of Sculptra injected. 2 vials then, 6 weeks later, 2 more vials. The result has been the exact opposite of what was expected. Over these three months my face has become increasingly saggy, lumpy and misshapen. Its as though Ive aged a decade since this summer. What can be done? (First photo is before Sculptra. Second photo is today.)
39 F. I'd like to reduce the marionette lines and mental crease, tighten jaw, and add subtle volume to cheeks. I was recommended Sculptra at a consult and was very excited about it until I read claims that it doesn't stimulate healthy collagen, only scar tissue. Could this be true? If so, are there other non surgical options for me? I'm not interested in hyaluronic acid based fillers or thread lifts.
Hello Doctors , my age is 40, I had very tough two years of sadness .no excercise added 10 kg of weight . I feel my face is slightly down of the sadness I passed through after loosing my husband . Now I see slight down face non symmetrical like the right side is more down and flat from eyes to chin. Based on doctors consultation.I have very good skin quality and looking naturally good .one recommended sculptra another RF micro needling scarlet. What do you recommend. Just slight natural lift fix
Im 37 and have fat loss in the bottom half of my face. Id like to fill in the area with collagen boosters like Sculptra, or get a fibroblast plasma pen treatment to tighten up the skin. Microneedling didnt work at all on me. It made no difference. Will these other two procedures not be likely to stimulate collagen in me bc of Lupus, and lack of any improvement with Microneedling?
I am a 37 yo F with no known health issues. I was looking to restore normal age-related volume loss in my face and had 2 vials of Sculptra injected in March 2022, 2 vials injected in May 2022 and 2 vials (a total of 6 vials) injected in August 2022. I see no volume or even skin texture improvement whatsoever. I spent $4,200 total. Could I be immune to Sculptra or is this more likely an injector issue?
Im 38 years old and ever since my Pixel 8 and Halo treatments (last one was 7 months ago) the skin on my chin has thinned in certain spots. It looks like I lost fat or tissue resulting in idendations that I didnt have to that degree before the treatments. I didnt have any when I was younger. Ive noticed that older folks get those as the skin looses elastin/collagen and fat. Id like to thicken the skin on my chin pad to make it less obvious. Would sculptra be a good option in my case?
I am 38 year old, no body fat and always had a slim face. I had 2 vials of Sculptra in December and 2 more vials 2 weeks ago. My therapist asked me to come back after 6 weeks for 3rd session. I am worried about overfilling Sculptra. I don't want to look unnatural or change my face shape. If I wait 6 months and have 3rd injection then, will I ruin chances of getting optimal results? I have already noticed some benefit 3 weeks after 2nd session.
I'm 42 years old and had 2 vials of sculptra injected in my cheeks, hollow, temples and lower face in January. I went back to my doctor 6 weeks later and he injected another 2 vials, for a total of 4 vials. It is now exactly 4 weeks after my last treatment and one side of my face is noticeably fuller than the other. My question is, is it possible that the less full side will fill out at a different time and catch up to the fuller side? My doctor is a board certified dermatologist.
I have Multiple Sclerosis (Relapsing Remitting) 14.5 years now. I am 43 and having concerns re: hollowing in my temples and cheeks. I was told I am a good candidate for Sculptra. However, I am concerned about contradicting information regarding its use if you have MS or any other autoimmune disease. My Neurologist in not familiar with Sculptra and does not know how to advise me. I am currently using Ocrevus at a treatment for my Multiple Sclerosis and am stable.
My temples have sunken (35+old) and am considering fillers for the temple areas. Ive read some articles saying that temple injections are risky due to the blood vessels in that area, and the risks include blindness. I understand that unlike HA fillers, Sculptra cannot be dissolved, but in terms of potential risks, is Sculptra safer than the HA fillers? Also should Sculptra be injected deeply in the temple areas? Can a blunt cannular be used?
