Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Does collagen response of the body scale linearly with the amount of PLLA filler injected?
Sculptra Collagen Response
Dec 8, 2023
This is a great question. In my experience you will get more volume and better results when you do three procedures, 2 months apart with 15 vials than doing one treatment with 45 vials. Although this has not been studied I believe there is a limit as to how much collagen any particular area can produce in a given time. Once you reach that limit extra vials are being wasted.
Would round 3 be helpful or possibly Sculptra?
Improve your BBL results with Sculptra
Dec 8, 2023
We treat many patients who have unevenness or dimpling post BBL with Sculptra. In my experience it is better to wait longer than 8 weeks to see the full results of your BBL. Your body can absorb up to 50% of the fat cells injected and this process can take 4-6 months.
How many sessions for Sculptra does a 60 year old need and when should the so called "new Sculptra be
Preparation is key
Dec 8, 2023
At my practice we reconstitute the Sculptra vials 5-7 days prior to use and it has worked well for us. In my 15 + years of experience with sculptra, I have found that the right formula and mixing time prevents nodes and creates a beautifully blended result.
Am I a good candidate for Sculptra?
Sculptra Candidate
Nov 27, 2023
You are a great candidate. Any patient that can use general structural volume is a good candidate for Sculptra. We use Sculptra as our go-to treatment for global volume loss in the face and we see superior results compared to dermal fillers.
What are ways to fix hip indentation?
Hip Indentations with Sculptra
Nov 27, 2023
We see a lot of similar cases in our clinic. We treat indentations the same way we treat dimpling in that area. We do a combination of Sculptra and subcision.
Will Sculptra treat my uneven nasolabial folds or should I consider other options?
Sculptra can provide symmetry
Nov 21, 2023
In my experience it is very common to have a larger volume deficit on one side of the face, compared to the other. This can occur for various reasons. Ideally we would want to identify the underlying issue and determine if it is one we can correct- however for most such cases Sculptra is a good fit for volume restoration and achieving symmetry.
Is Sculptra bad?
It's all about the expertise
Nov 21, 2023
At my clinic I perform thousands of Sculptra procedures every year and everyone is happy with their results. I think the important thing here is not the Sculptra (or any product for that matter), it is the experience, expertise and artistic eye of the injector. Pick a good injector and be confident in their abilities.
