I’m 80 and last Sept I had my first round of sculptra..then in late Oct. A week ago I had my third and saw pictures from Sept to then...I couldn’t believe the difference. I so excited to see the third treatment results in three or four months. So ladies it is worth the $$$ at an older age. I’m living proof. So glad I did this instead of going under the knife! Now what if anything can be done about eyelids except surgery? Great video. Thank you. Hugs💜
Thanks for sharing Karen! Glad you are loving your Sculptra results! I’ve treated people in their 70’s with good results so good to hear that you ave good results 🤗
A forehead lift is supposedly necessary after a certain age to lift your brows out of your eyes, according to my sister-in-law’s best friend, who had one in her fifties. It was painful enough that she said, “Never again!”, but in her case it was necessary, because she had lost so much peripheral vision that she could no longer drive! She is 69 now.
Was so sunken that I needed 7 vials starting at 46. I just turned 48. It has held up. Will see how much I need for maintenance later this month. I'm an athlete. Cardio lifting classes. I teach group classes and am a personal trainer. Little addicted to exercise. It catches up to you as you age for sure!
Thanks for sharing your story! Totally understand excessive can be addictive but it’s a good addiction. Ii get a runners high after I run. Def isn’t the best for the face but the body looks good!
@@chch6171 Yes, too much exercising can be damaging (like everything in excess), or certain types of exercises (there is something called "runner's face").
@@chch6171 Of course exercising is good for your health and skin, but I think if you work out too much and have a very small amount of body fat you will also lose the fat in the face and you may look more gaunt (especially if you are not that young anymore). I'm not an expert but normally you want to preserve some fat in the face for a more youthful look...
I was soo close to getting a PRF and I'm glad I found your videos on sculptra. I would've been so pissed after learning that the prf results are so minimal with a lot of downtime and money. Sculptra seems like it would be easy more worth it
Glad you found the video helpful. Yes I know a lot of ppl compare PRP to Sculptra as though the results in collagen stimulation is the same but I don’t think it is.
I metabolize sculptra in 9 months. I started using this off label in 2005. It’s the only thing that works since I metabolize filler in 4 months. Yes, even juvederm ultra. Yes I do. Daily exercise. I’m not going to give that up.
I just want to let everybody know that the injection sites will be sore for several days afterwards! Nobody warned me of this. It's been 2 days and still hurts to chew my food.
Beware of Sculptra! In 2019 I went to a dermatologist to fix the acne scars on my face. I was told my face was too hollow and needed Sculptra to add more volume. I was told it was safe and there was nothing to worry about. After the procedure, I developed some large cystic lumps on my face. It took four and a half years to go away and left some scars after it dissolved. It was a nightmare! Never again.
I’m so sorry this happened? Did the dermatologist follow the proper procedure? Did they advise you to massage? I would like to know because I know people who have had great results.
prob this dermatologist wasn't trained well. I believe my dermatologist would never do skulptra treatment on someone with acne, i think she'd treat the acne 1st. probab a year later, she'd do the skuptra treatment. " just guessing" from how i know my doctor she's obsessed careful . truth is, i dont even know if this treatment is safe for acne skin.
I am a fan of you and agree with most of what you said EXCEPT, when it doesn’t take, It’s not always the more the better. It happened to me once that I injected but was undernourished, so it didn’t grow and just turned into hardened lumps under my skin. I hope they dissolve eventually and I certainly do not wanna give up on Sculptra. I am trying my best to nourish myself so my Sculptra will be taken up and used. Love your work dr❤
Im 45 and my injector said one vial should do it. My main concern was my lower cheeks creating a shadow near the sides of my mouth. I guess I will know in three months if she was right!
I have a question for you, will any other topical procedures (such as Skin Pen etc.) have an impact on the Sculptra in the face? Would it dissolve? Melt? Disappear? what is your advice on this topic? are we erasing what we did with Sculptra if we do micro-needling, lasers, or facial exercises, etc.?
I'm not an MD or nurse but from my extensive personal experience it should not unless you are going very deeply with needling. I would avoid facial exercises. Sometimes doing too many procedures muddies the waters and you dont know what is working or not.
Hi, thank you for this great video, i had sculptra on my early 40s x3v, fat transfer at age 45, i am 51 and thinking to go back for scuplra since i am not a fan of fillers, Sculptra is my favourite treatement, gives natural result and last more cost less than fillers on the long run.😊🙏🏼
@@catcoffee7958 The fat transfer worked well for me too, i have been told by the dr that it wld last between 5 to 8 years depending on the life style, ( less for smokers and drinkers for example…) also must not loose too much weight otherwise it will show on your face, kind of make sense ☺️, now after 5 years, i would like to top up, so i ll get soon an advice on wether i go for an other fat transfer, or sculptra, since i an not a dan of fillers….
@@azizam2918 Does fat transfer to the face create irregularity on the face like lumps/bumps? I have seen some videos regarding this that you can no predict results with fat transfer so some region retains fat then other.
I know that sculptra is not advised to inject under eyes (due to high chance of nodules), I have a very hollow under eyes, if injected elsewhere - cheecks etc, would it travel to under eyes and make them a but less hollow? Secondly, since sculptra travels, can it make my lower face even bigger (which i dont want since it feels already forming jowls and getting heavier)? thank you:)
Would have been nice if the “actual patient” pictures were taken in similar lights and camera quality, no makeup and without over editing the final results.. 🤦🏼♀️
The camera quality and lighting is the same. What do you mean makeup? I always ask my models to take their face makeup off for their before and after photos. They may have eye makeup and lips on but those area areas we do not do Sculptra to.
@@NaturalInjector Are we talking about two different cover pictures? The before picture looks like it was taken by a phone. While the after one is very professionally captured and edited.
I understand it might be for Clickbait, but for people like me who are interested in seeing actual results, it looks very unrealistic when there is a drastic change in quality and make up
I had SUCH a bad experience with hyaluronic acid fillers and with fractional laser treatments over the course of two years that my husband is extremely reluctant to consent to any more “procedures”. I absorbed all of the HA fillers (Juvederm, etc) almost immediately, so despite all the expense, once the initial swelling went down, it looked as if I’d had nothing done! My husband was suspicious that they’d used sterile water instead of HA! As for laser resurfacing, I had four treatments over two years and had absolutely zero improvement. Even the dermatologist was frustrated, and gave me the last treatment for free. I’m just not sure what to do, since in our region of California (Silicon Valley), a face lift runs $100,000 to more than $120,000…that is not including the eyes or neck!!! And it requires seven hours of surgery, so an anesthesiologist has to be paid, too!!
@@Gioli565 A friend at my gym did that, and had to have it “repaired” to fix her eyelids. It cost more than everything else she had done in South Korea!
@@vetsai8199you have to do your research like anything else. I was actually botched when I had lipo by a plastic surgeon here in the states and just had the most incredible (and far more AFFORDABLE) experience with a board certified plastic surgeon in Mexico for my Tummy Tuck. They also actually took care of me afterwards unlike in the states.
Dr. Anil Rajani has treated thousands of patients with Sculptra. It may be very informative to watch his videos. Another MD to pay attention to is Dr. Gary Linkov.
This is an amazing video! I'm 41 and tried RADIESE for the 1st time last year and after 4 weeks i saw results, like incredible results. My dermatologist in brazil only used one vial only. and deff it will depend on the age and quality of the akin of each individual. I am about to do it again, i just love it! Great video xo!
Looks great, the only thing that worries me is that I've noticed how in the after photos faces always seem wider, and mine is alreay squared enough ... Why does that happen?
Because when we are young our faces are more 3 dimensional and with Sculptra, I’m choosing to restore the global volume that we lose as we age so yes, the face will be more 3 dimensional when you restore the collagen, especially if you’re treating the temples and pre-auricular areas.
@@NaturalInjector this was definitely my question!! Thank you. I'm someone who had very full cheeks in my 20s just like all the women in my family. Now in my 30s they are finally starting to slim down and chisel to a look I like. So would Sculptra bring my back to a chubby face and maybe it's better to wait until the volume loss is more pronounced?
@@alexandrahill9280 Scultpra can definitely help bring back volume to your cheeks. I cannot advise if you should wait until it’s more pronounced unless I see your face but you should also base getting treated on if the volume loss currently bothers you.
Unfortunately I currently do not do EZ gel PRF so I cannot compare it to Sculptra. I am still thinking about bringing it on. The issue I’ve heard is it does not last long and I don’t believe, so far at least, that it’s clinically proven to stimulate collagen.
I've had PRF (x 4 sessions) and can confirm it lasted 3 to 4 months. Beautiful under eye result. Now at 7 months post treatment, I'm back to baseline photos. It doesn't last. Sadly!
@@diann3880no. Sculptra has its own problems of causing nodules so it needs fluid to lay down correctly and needs massage. EZ Gel is thick so it adds volume so you see the issue.
This filler craze has a lot of people looking crazy and disfigured but it’s so common that it almost looks normal now. Most of these people have no idea that they look completely mental. I really think people are going overboard. Aging sucks too. I don’t know what the answer is.
I found the idea of fillers silly the moment i hesrd about it. For me, j’ll never accept anything except fat transfers or stimulation. Injecting random gels in your skin is a bad long term strategy anybody with common sense could’ve seen that. I don’t know why modern aestheticians are so dumb
@@giedrebey5444 I don’t do PRF. I hear it’s more effective than PRP. I had PRF done once under my eyes but that was only one treatment so it’s not enough to say whether it worked well, I also have filler in my tear troughs. I’m doing PRP to one spot of thinning here so I’ll keep everyone posted if it works well. Don’t think PRP to the face would stimulate collagen the way Sculptra would.
Hi Emily, great video. Can sculptra also be injected around nasal labial folds? Im in my 50 and have noticed some sagging around this lower face that I wish I could improve with sculptra. I don't want to use fillers. I really appreciate your expertise.
So I’m more of a sagger than a sinker and I still have fat in my face but starting to see jowls as I enter menopause. Would Sculptra help lift the sagging cheeks or would I not be a good candidate? I’m afraid my face would look even fatter if I get this. I’m naturally thin but have always had a lot of “baby fat” in my face which has helped me look youthful until the sagging started. I notice my cheeks have descended but the fullness is still there.
I have same issue. I had buccal fat removal in my early 40s (squirrel cheeks, genetic), loved it but needed a lower f/l in late 40s ..no regrets. My own daughter now in 40s had sculptra recently, she also has full lower face, has wonderful results..maybe if focus is on upper face vs lower?
Hi, I had my first two vials Jan 19. They wanted me to come back 4 weeks later. I was very swollen and sore afterwards. I'm way more comfortable with your suggestion of waiting 3 months. I'm curious as to why no one else suggests every 3 months. Thanks
The 3 months is not a hard and fast rule. It depends on how the injector approaches sculptra. Some like to see some progress sooner so they have patient co e in at 6 weeks to evaluate. The important thing is that you are evaluated and properly treated.
Thank you for this video, I have never seen more informative video on Sculptra. Can you please tell me, will I see a good results on smile lines, I do not have much fat on my face. Just two tiny but very visible lines on each side of my lips. Thank you. P.S. Is it safe for people with Hashimoto’s autoimmune disease to have Sculptra injected?
Great video! M on my second month of 2 vials of sculptra have noticed a little bit can’t wait for more results! How do you treat neck lines? Heard radiesse? ❤❤
Thanks for sharing your Scultpra journey. I am not a fan of Radiesee. I usually use hyaluronic acid fillers that are very soft like RH2 or Redensity for neck lines.
Thanks for all of that amazing information. What a great educational video. I actually just spoke to an aesthetician that I see sometimes about sculptra. She had mentioned it to me as an alternative to fillers. however I certainly don’t believe she was very educated on it. She didn’t seem to know much at all, and also said that it could only be done in the lower half of the face. Wedge did not sound good to me, as I’m looking for a full face experience, especially my smile lines, and under my eyes. So is anyone a candidate for sculptra?
I'm not sure if you've covered this in another video (and if so I apologize) but can you use sculptra in your under eye area? As someone who is not a good candidate for under eye filler I'm looking for other alternatives to help with that area.
No you really shouldn’t use it to your under eyes. I think I mentioned it in this video. Why are you not a good candidate? Do you swell a lot to your under eyes?
@@NaturalInjector I have chronic sinus issues and congestion and yes, am prone to some swelling if my sinuses are particularly aggravated. Oops, sorry if you mentioned it in this video, I must've missed it. I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. lol You are very knowable and I'm learning so much! :)
@@emilycharn1036 update...I have done 1/2 each side for a total of 4 then 1 each side for a total of 6. I love it and it gets better with time. NO lumps. The massage is so important. Well worth the money.
Hi doc idid sculptra 10 days ago the beautiful plumpness is gone however my face is lifted already alot of ppl around me even says the same is that possible??? Im 31 years old.. im thrilled with the results and over the moon , however i dont wish for any further changes shall i worry? I went for an experienced doc in dubai i had zero bruising and zero pain.
Although I don’t do PRF/PRP most likely YES, Sculptra will be more effective. Yes it looks very natural because it’s your own collagen 👉 ua-cam.com/video/kfIXn-jo31Q/v-deo.htmlsi=TqpfsNnqYD6YYOKW
I haven’t quite finished the video yet bc I’m headed to work but I just got sculptra I’m 36 and had some scarring from acne and she broke down all those scars with the needle . She used two viles. One vile per cheek . Also treating a little under eye aging bag and drooping. I have good cheekbones I’m hoping I see results first treatment bc I’m not rich haha . Have you treated anyone with scarring from acne? She wants me back in 5 weeks and thinks I will only need one more session
Can you use Scupltra in marionette lines? I’ve had 3 vials so far. Age 45. I saw great results after the 1st 2 vials and got nervous so only got 1 at follow up. It’s been a total of 5 months and i do believe need more. Now idk if I should get 1 or 2. It’s nerve wracking because I’m so afraid to over do it.
You can use a Sculptra to the marionette lines, very sparingly. I also feel there will always be a place for hyaluronic acid filler to the marionette lines, lips, and perioral area. Chances are you may need more Sculptra. I would definitely follow up with your provider.
Great video, thank you! I have a lot of volume loss in my temples, I'm early 40s, lean but not excessively thin, and I Powerlift. Will sculptra help or is fat transfer a better option in general for the temple area?
Hi Jennifer. Glad you enjoyed the video. Although both treatments can give volume to the temple area It’s a bit hard to compare the 2 treatments as fat transfer is a surgery whereas Sculptra is not, it’s non-invasive. I don’t perform fat transfers as I’m not a surgeon but I imagine it’s one and done for several years with a fat transfer. Sculptra is less invasive and you will likely need a few treatments but you don’t have to undergo surgery.
Yes indeed, irregularity can show on the face, or small unvisible lumps you may feel here and there only if tou touch your face…reason why you need a doc who is specialised on fat transfer and has many years of experience on that, i remember i asked the doctor about the doc at that tome of how many/average fat transf he performs per week 🤭 (at the end of the day it is about my face and it is not cheep,)😏 i have no lumps or irregularities. I hope this reply is helpful to you👋🌷
hello, I would love to ask: if I got my e.g. first 3 treatments, do I need to get all three every 6-9 month? or is one treatment enough, and just keep doing this on a regular basis? thanks a lot
Well... at about $750/vile.. that's a pretty good chunk of money... Especially if you're a person who needs 6 viles.. Now you're talking $4500.. i'm betting the cost per vile for the Injector is no where near/not even close to the retail price of $750.
When you pay it’s not only about the cost of the product, which is very high by the way. You are paying for the service and for the injectors time to administer the product.
How much did you all pay for these Scultpra vials you’ve gotten in your states? I am seeing a big difference in between clinics and would like to understand what is the average cost per vial.
I usually don’t have to pay because I work in the field but the cost does vary by state and by practice. Maybe you can Google what the average price per vial of Sculptra is. I charge $925
Can you use Sculptra as a biostimulator?I have bad experience with filler and i know that Sculptra can bring big problems if not injected right.But does it have same effect if you use as mesoterapi?
Fat and also other things like Hyron for the skin.I love mesotherapi.I do it a couple of times every month.So i was thinking this will be a little safer to do.I am so scared that something can go wrong.I did filler that was put in to shallow in my tempels and i needed to dissolve it.Did 3 times a week for 4 weeks.I was 45 but looked like 80!So bad.So i dont do filler anymore.
My derm did my first session of Sculptra last week, fillers in February. Returning in 5 weeks for second session. I did hear a youtube dr. say Sculptra enhances filler but I don't recall all the details.
I am 22 but have always had really sunken in eyes. I would really appreciate your opinion on what type of treatment you think would be beat for that. Is Sculptra good for more volume under the eyes?
It depends on the area you being seen in and the expertise of the person treating you. Most practices here in LA charge around $900-$1000 a vial for the face
@@carmensalome Yes that means it can end up costing around $6k. But you don’t have to pay all up front. You start by doing a few vials at a time. A facelift can cost 20k-100k depending on who is doing it and it does not address volume loss, unless you are also doing fat transfer.
@@helingul7452 I feel it’s almost like holding up your tissue with thumb tacks with the way it works. I have a video on facial aging which explains how we age that you can check out if you more about how we age.
I got completely botched by one round of sculptra. How long do I have to live with this. It’s all under my eyes and my cheeks when I came in for sculptra in my temples
I used to have a fat face in my 20s with a slim body. It never matched. Now my cheekbones are pronounced but my temples and mid cheek area is very hollow. I actually like the sharp look but I can't stand to look at my nasolabial folds and jowly jawline. I have a bottom heavy face now. I keep pulling my skin back in the mirror... and what a difference it makes. I'm about to duct tape my face back until I get sculptra. Pushing 40, btw.
I hope you can get Sculptra soon! Thanks for sharing your story Amy. I love Sculptra for the areas you mentioned. Your cheekbones are likely more pronounced because of the loss of volume to the temples and mid cheek area
I need to know if you heard anything about Reversal injections it's a Korean product, it's a PLA+HA . Because when I went to my doctor to ask him about sculptra, he told me that Reversal injections do the exact thing .I want to do sculptra but unfortunately, we don't have it in our country, can I do Reversal instead?
I have not heard of Reversal. I didn’t realize Sculptra was not available in Korea. If it’s PLA it can probably stimulate collagen but Scultpra is just PLLA with no HA acid. My only issue with products that are a filler and a collagen stimulator is how are you going to decipher how much collagen stimulation you got when you’re doing a filler at the same time that’s gonna give you correction. I guess you would know when the effects of the HA are gone and you still feel the areas are corrected
I’ll be doing another video about Radiesse vs Sculptra but it may take awhile as the company that makes Sculptra is doing a study as we speak on the differences and I’m awaiting their results
@@NaturalInjector my 1st treatment last year actually was Radiese and i could see INCREDIBLE results in only 3 weeks of treatment ... what my dermatologist explained to me is that, Radiese is better for younger skin, in my particular case i'm 41 and she found that my skin quality was good and not so old for my "age". as a result, she rather use Radiece on younger skins bc the results is way more natural and not so "aggressive" as sculptra " she said", when we talking about younger skin ... different from Radiese, she prefers to use Sculptra in older skin like 50+ and or 45+ depending on the quality of that particular patient. Anyways, i dont know if you agree or not. im just adding my experience because it might help somehow and im also open to hear your opinion as well. xoo
Im 29 and want to do preventative care to maintain college, how would I know if I need this and if I don’t need it now if I should start or maybe micro needling or morpheus as preventative care :)
Hi doctor, i have recently got under eye fillers, there is tyndall effect on one side, filler is hyaluronic acid but my doctor injected the spot with steroids, but its still there, what should i do, should i leave it as it is it will go away with time. kindly reply me as i am extremely worried
Would it be worth it to get Sculptra if o haven’t gotten much volume loss? I just want to look younger and more “chiseled”/ contour more. I naturally have a round face as I’m a bit on the heavier side :/
Does the way it’s injected matter? My provider likes to place a few bollus deep in the cheeks to the bone. nearly 2 months later and I don’t notice any difference. Going for a second session soon but I’m wondering if the method of injecting matters. Can you do a video on how it’s done?
I actually do those depot injections too. I didn’t always but now I do. It takes 3 full months until most of the collagen is built so you may not notice it a 2 months and even if you wait you may not notice it with only one treatment. Sometimes it takes a few treatments
@@NaturalInjector Thank you for answering! My injector told me I would only need 2 sessions but she didn’t do the temples or nasiolabial folds and I think I do need that. My folds are noticeable. When you do the deep injections do you also do the lighter ones on the temples and into the folds? My injector says she doesn’t do them but maybe I need to go to a different provider for that if I don’t see significant difference in another month or how long should I wait?
@@duchessdelarue5983 Do you know why she doens’t do those areas? Is it just on you that she doesn’t think you need it, or she doesn’t do those areas period. I do deep on the temples but subcutaneously in the smile lines or nasolabial folds. I have my patients wait a full 3 months after Sculptra to see most of the results.
@@NaturalInjector she said my temples don’t need it (I think they do I’m 50) and that she never injects into the nasiolabial folds cause it’s too dangerous and she didn’t want to risk it. She told me to just get filler there if I still need it in 3 months cause she thought my cheeks would lift a little and help with those lines but that’s what bothers me the most - they’ve gotten deeper in the last 6 months!
@@duchessdelarue5983 She never injects into the nasolabial folds with Sculptra?? I feel much safer using Sculptra than I do using filler because it is less likely to occlude an artery because it’s basically micro particles of PLLA you’re injecting mixed with water. Filler is a thick gell. To me, that doesn’t make sense. 🤷♀️.
Hi. I had sculptra injected and my injector injected my cheeks asymmetrically. I had very high full cheek bones. I had no clue she has putting it in my upper cheeks. I'm three weeks out and I'm terrified my face will look strange. I was worried I lost my definition. I'm so scared i will have too much volume in my already lifted full cheekbones. I'm so scared I will look how she injected me because she went higher on one of my cheekbones. I don't want to loose my natural bone structure
How you look immediately after Sculptra is not your true results so hope that gives you some reassurance. I would definitely follow up with her to compare results.
@@NaturalInjector Thank you so much for replying. Sadly my face at four weeks is uneven and it has entirely changed my face shape. I look heavy and older. Its biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. I would do anything to have my old face back.

A forehead lift is supposedly necessary after a certain age to lift your brows out of your eyes, according to my sister-in-law’s best friend, who had one in her fifties.

Beware of Sculptra! In 2019 I went to a dermatologist to fix the acne scars on my face. I was told my face was too hollow and needed Sculptra to add more volume. I was told it was safe and there was nothing to worry about. After the procedure, I developed some large cystic lumps on my face. It took four and a half years to go away and left some scars after it dissolved. It was a nightmare! Never again.
I’m so sorry this happened? Did the dermatologist follow the proper procedure? Did they advise you to massage? I would like to know because I know people who have had great results.
prob this dermatologist wasn't trained well. I believe my dermatologist would never do skulptra treatment on someone with acne, i think she'd treat the acne 1st. probab a year later, she'd do the skuptra treatment. " just guessing" from how i know my doctor she's obsessed careful . truth is, i dont even know if this treatment is safe for acne skin.
@@DaniSilva.. I'm 53, and I didn't have acne. I had some scars from the acne when I was younger that I wanted to fix.
She is a well-known dermatologist in California.@@raspberrykissable
They didn't use enough saline or mixed it enough... I'm so sorry this happened to you.
Seen so many amazing before and afters with Sculptra
So glad! 👍
I am a fan of you and agree with most of what you said EXCEPT, when it doesn’t take, It’s not always the more the better.
It happened to me once that I injected but was undernourished, so it didn’t grow and just turned into hardened lumps under my skin.
I hope they dissolve eventually and I certainly do not wanna give up on Sculptra. I am trying my best to nourish myself so my Sculptra will be taken up and used.
Love your work dr❤
I know personally how things don't work as told properly... Best wishes to you ❤❤
Im 45 and my injector said one vial should do it. My main concern was my lower cheeks creating a shadow near the sides of my mouth. I guess I will know in three months if she was right!
@kikizenlife any updates, same here
I have a question for you, will any other topical procedures (such as Skin Pen etc.) have an impact on the Sculptra in the face? Would it dissolve? Melt? Disappear? what is your advice on this topic? are we erasing what we did with Sculptra if we do micro-needling, lasers, or facial exercises, etc.?
Good question😊. Please someone answer this..
I'm not an MD or nurse but from my extensive personal experience it should not unless you are going very deeply with needling. I would avoid facial exercises. Sometimes doing too many procedures muddies the waters and you dont know what is working or not.
Hi, thank you for this great video, i had sculptra on my early 40s x3v, fat transfer at age 45, i am 51 and thinking to go back for scuplra since i am not a fan of fillers,
Sculptra is my favourite treatement, gives natural result and last more cost less than fillers on the long run.😊🙏🏼
W about the fat transfer?!
@@catcoffee7958 The fat transfer worked well for me too, i have been told by the dr that it wld last between 5 to 8 years depending on the life style, ( less for smokers and drinkers for example…) also must not loose too much weight otherwise it will show on your face, kind of make sense ☺️, now after 5 years, i would like to top up, so i ll get soon an advice on wether i go for an other fat transfer, or sculptra, since i an not a dan of fillers….
@@azizam2918 Does fat transfer to the face create irregularity on the face like lumps/bumps? I have seen some videos regarding this that you can no predict results with fat transfer so some region retains fat then other.
@@catcoffee7958 in a clinic in Rotterdam, The Nederlands , 😊
I know that sculptra is not advised to inject under eyes (due to high chance of nodules), I have a very hollow under eyes, if injected elsewhere - cheecks etc, would it travel to under eyes and make them a but less hollow? Secondly, since sculptra travels, can it make my lower face even bigger (which i dont want since it feels already forming jowls and getting heavier)? thank you:)
Would have been nice if the “actual patient” pictures were taken in similar lights and camera quality, no makeup and without over editing the final results.. 🤦🏼♀️
The camera quality and lighting is the same. What do you mean makeup? I always ask my models to take their face makeup off for their before and after photos. They may have eye makeup and lips on but those area areas we do not do Sculptra to.
@@NaturalInjector Are we talking about two different cover pictures? The before picture looks like it was taken by a phone. While the after one is very professionally captured and edited.
I understand it might be for Clickbait, but for people like me who are interested in seeing actual results, it looks very unrealistic when there is a drastic change in quality and make up
@@virtualdoll4216 Oh are you talking about the thumbnail or video cover?
@@virtualdoll4216 oh yeah the thumbnail is for sure edited. The thumbnail is not of her actual results though.
I had SUCH a bad experience with hyaluronic acid fillers and with fractional laser treatments over the course of two years that my husband is extremely reluctant to consent to any more “procedures”. I absorbed all of the HA fillers (Juvederm, etc) almost immediately, so despite all the expense, once the initial swelling went down, it looked as if I’d had nothing done! My husband was suspicious that they’d used sterile water instead of HA! As for laser resurfacing, I had four treatments over two years and had absolutely zero improvement. Even the dermatologist was frustrated, and gave me the last treatment for free. I’m just not sure what to do, since in our region of California (Silicon Valley), a face lift runs $100,000 to more than $120,000…that is not including the eyes or neck!!! And it requires seven hours of surgery, so an anesthesiologist has to be paid, too!!
Same happens to me. Filler only lasts a month... or less. Huge waste of money
You can travel for a facelift and save $$
@@Gioli565 A friend at my gym did that, and had to have it “repaired” to fix her eyelids. It cost more than everything else she had done in South Korea!
Good grief… Go out of th country! That’s OUTRAGEOUS for a facelift!
@@vetsai8199you have to do your research like anything else. I was actually botched when I had lipo by a plastic surgeon here in the states and just had the most incredible (and far more AFFORDABLE) experience with a board certified plastic surgeon in Mexico for my Tummy Tuck. They also actually took care of me afterwards unlike in the states.
Dr. Anil Rajani has treated thousands of patients with Sculptra. It may be very informative to watch his videos. Another MD to pay attention to is Dr. Gary Linkov.
Most ppl find my videos after watching his and many of my audience have also tuned into his videos.
Thank you for bravely showing the video picturing what it may be like for treatment is helpful.
Great video. Very informative and helpful.
Wow, the results look amazing!!
Thank you Reo!
This is an amazing video! I'm 41 and tried RADIESE for the 1st time last year and after 4 weeks i saw results, like incredible results. My dermatologist in brazil only used one vial only. and deff it will depend on the age and quality of the akin of each individual. I am about to do it again, i just love it! Great video xo!
I nije bilo grudica na obrazima i sl.. ??
C'est lassant cette course à la perfection !
Looks great, the only thing that worries me is that I've noticed how in the after photos faces always seem wider, and mine is alreay squared enough ... Why does that happen?
Because when we are young our faces are more 3 dimensional and with Sculptra, I’m choosing to restore the global volume that we lose as we age so yes, the face will be more 3 dimensional when you restore the collagen, especially if you’re treating the temples and pre-auricular areas.
@@NaturalInjector this was definitely my question!! Thank you. I'm someone who had very full cheeks in my 20s just like all the women in my family. Now in my 30s they are finally starting to slim down and chisel to a look I like. So would Sculptra bring my back to a chubby face and maybe it's better to wait until the volume loss is more pronounced?
@@alexandrahill9280 Scultpra can definitely help bring back volume to your cheeks. I cannot advise if you should wait until it’s more pronounced unless I see your face but you should also base getting treated on if the volume loss currently bothers you.
Can you also do a video on EZ GEL PRF vs Sculptra? The differences, what to expect, longevity, the aftercare differences, etc...?
Unfortunately I currently do not do EZ gel PRF so I cannot compare it to Sculptra. I am still thinking about bringing it on. The issue I’ve heard is it does not last long and I don’t believe, so far at least, that it’s clinically proven to stimulate collagen.
Good point. Can Ez Gel be mixed in w the sculptra?
@@diann3880there’s something called plasmasculpt it’s PRF and Sculptra combined
I've had PRF (x 4 sessions) and can confirm it lasted 3 to 4 months. Beautiful under eye result. Now at 7 months post treatment, I'm back to baseline photos. It doesn't last. Sadly!
@@diann3880no. Sculptra has its own problems of causing nodules so it needs fluid to lay down correctly and needs massage. EZ Gel is thick so it adds volume so you see the issue.
This filler craze has a lot of people looking crazy and disfigured but it’s so common that it almost looks normal now. Most of these people have no idea that they look completely mental. I really think people are going overboard. Aging sucks too. I don’t know what the answer is.
I found the idea of fillers silly the moment i hesrd about it.
For me, j’ll never accept anything except fat transfers or stimulation.
Injecting random gels in your skin is a bad long term strategy anybody with common sense could’ve seen that. I don’t know why modern aestheticians are so dumb
Wow what a great video, thank you 🙏🙏🙏 right to the point. I have a question . What about Radiese ? What you prefer better and why thank you kindly🙏🧡
Glad you loved the video. I’m not a big fan of Radiesse. I don’t think it’s a collagen stimulator like Sculptra. It’s also a filler too.
Thank you for your response. I have another question what is your opinion on PRF injections ? Thank you kindly. 🙏🧡
@@giedrebey5444 I don’t do PRF. I hear it’s more effective than PRP. I had PRF done once under my eyes but that was only one treatment so it’s not enough to say whether it worked well, I also have filler in my tear troughs. I’m doing PRP to one spot of thinning here so I’ll keep everyone posted if it works well. Don’t think PRP to the face would stimulate collagen the way Sculptra would.
Can you please make a video about Sculptra for cellulite?❤❤
Hi Emily, great video. Can sculptra also be injected around nasal labial folds? Im in my 50 and have noticed some sagging around this lower face that I wish I could improve with sculptra. I don't want to use fillers. I really appreciate your expertise.
Yes Scultpra can be used to NLF’s. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@NaturalInjectorI enjoy your videos very much.
@@annieg.7051 hope you subbed and turned on notifications 🤗
@@NaturalInjector it's been on. Lol
@@annieg.7051 yay!
Thank you, great video as always! What about sculptra in the neck? Is it safe ? I heard others say it can cause nodules
So I’m more of a sagger than a sinker and I still have fat in my face but starting to see jowls as I enter menopause. Would Sculptra help lift the sagging cheeks or would I not be a good candidate? I’m afraid my face would look even fatter if I get this. I’m naturally thin but have always had a lot of “baby fat” in my face which has helped me look youthful until the sagging started. I notice my cheeks have descended but the fullness is still there.
I have same issue. I had buccal fat removal in my early 40s (squirrel cheeks, genetic), loved it but needed a lower f/l in late 40s ..no regrets. My own daughter now in 40s had sculptra recently, she also has full lower face, has wonderful results..maybe if focus is on upper face vs lower?
there are cases where the before is better than after.. Some cases i could see only little improvement not much drastic improvements
With which ones? Also not sure why someone would think there should be a drastic improvement and “drastic” is subjective.
Hi, I had my first two vials Jan 19. They wanted me to come back 4 weeks later. I was very swollen and sore afterwards. I'm way more comfortable with your suggestion of waiting 3 months. I'm curious as to why no one else suggests every 3 months. Thanks
Not sure. I know some providers do suggest every 3 months. Glad you found the video helpful!
The 3 months is not a hard and fast rule. It depends on how the injector approaches sculptra. Some like to see some progress sooner so they have patient co e in at 6 weeks to evaluate. The important thing is that you are evaluated and properly treated.
If you form keloids or hypertrophic scars, does that mean you shouldn't do sculptra?
I have started getting sculptra and I am wondering if using my miolift would negativity effect my treatment
Thank you for this video, I have never seen more informative video on Sculptra.
Can you please tell me, will I see a good results on smile lines, I do not have much fat on my face. Just two tiny but very visible lines on each side of my lips.
Thank you.
P.S. Is it safe for people with Hashimoto’s autoimmune disease to have Sculptra injected?
great explanations !!! she's a pro :)
Great video! M on my second month of 2 vials of sculptra have noticed a little bit can’t wait for more results! How do you treat neck lines? Heard radiesse? ❤❤
Thanks for sharing your Scultpra journey. I am not a fan of Radiesee. I usually use hyaluronic acid fillers that are very soft like RH2 or Redensity for neck lines.
Is the redensity longer lasting? @@NaturalInjector
@@MyMaria1224 Longer lasting then???
@@NaturalInjector then radiesse
@@MyMaria1224 not sure. I don’t use much Radiesse anymore and the company would probably say if Radiesse is hyperdiluted it behaves differently
Thank you for a very good explanation about Sculptra
You’re welcome Anne. Glad you found the video helpful!
Does Sculptra help with under eye darkness and slight hollowness?
No you can’t use Sculptra under the eyes so it wouldn’t be able to help with that. You can do filler though if you have a hollowness to the under eye
Thanks for all of that amazing information. What a great educational video. I actually just spoke to an aesthetician that I see sometimes about sculptra. She had mentioned it to me as an alternative to fillers. however I certainly don’t believe she was very educated on it. She didn’t seem to know much at all, and also said that it could only be done in the lower half of the face. Wedge did not sound good to me, as I’m looking for a full face experience, especially my smile lines, and under my eyes. So is anyone a candidate for sculptra?
I'm not sure if you've covered this in another video (and if so I apologize) but can you use sculptra in your under eye area? As someone who is not a good candidate for under eye filler I'm looking for other alternatives to help with that area.
No you really shouldn’t use it to your under eyes. I think I mentioned it in this video. Why are you not a good candidate? Do you swell a lot to your under eyes?
@@NaturalInjector I have chronic sinus issues and congestion and yes, am prone to some swelling if my sinuses are particularly aggravated. Oops, sorry if you mentioned it in this video, I must've missed it. I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. lol

@@frankie9953 no worries! Glad you have been binge watching 🤗.
I just got mine done, i was told to come back in 5 weeks and than again in 5 weeks followed by another treatment in 6 months. Does that seem right?
Sometimes people do 6 weeks, I’ve not heard of 5 but it’s close to 6. I would take the advice of the provider treating you.
Any update
I never been able to see any difference with this or anything else I've done. I must be that rare case you talked about.
How many vials of Sculptra have you done?
I am 70 and want to do it...somewhat afraid of the lumps. Does that happen often? Thank you for the great video
I have done three so far, no lumps.

Hi wanted to know if using LED face mask is ok to use with sculpture fillet
I don’t have an issue with my patients using it if they’ve had Sculptra but I would ask the cosmetic provider who will be treating you.
Is it true, if you planning on getting a facelift, you shouldn't get Scultpra? I see plastic surgeons warning against it.
Please see this video I addressed that 👉 ua-cam.com/video/GMhcEQJYnAs/v-deo.htmlsi=r8DtaAXeLNN3kf5S

Im 31 years old.. im thrilled with the results and over the moon , however i dont wish for any further changes shall i worry? I went for an experienced doc in dubai i had zero bruising and zero pain.
Does sculpra gives volume?
Is massage post treatment absolutely necessary? I've read mixed studies on its effectiveness.
Is sculptra more effective than prf with ez gel to soften the nasolabial folds? Does sculptra give you the unnatural “puffy” look like HA fillers?
Although I don’t do PRF/PRP most likely YES, Sculptra will be more effective. Yes it looks very natural because it’s your own collagen 👉 ua-cam.com/video/kfIXn-jo31Q/v-deo.htmlsi=TqpfsNnqYD6YYOKW
Will I be able to do microneedling and/or laser treatments in combination with sculptra? And is sculptra a good treatment for acne scars?
Yep you can!
I haven’t quite finished the video yet bc I’m headed to work but I just got sculptra I’m 36 and had some scarring from acne and she broke down all those scars with the needle . She used two viles. One vile per cheek . Also treating a little under eye aging bag and drooping. I have good cheekbones I’m hoping I see results first treatment bc I’m not rich haha . Have you treated anyone with scarring from acne? She wants me back in 5 weeks and thinks I will only need one more session
Hi Jacque. That’s great you started your Sculptra journey. No I haven’t necessarily done Sculptra for acne scarring. Keep us posted on your results.
Which is more effective? Sculpture or PRF?
Can you use Scupltra in marionette lines? I’ve had 3 vials so far. Age 45. I saw great results after the 1st 2 vials and got nervous so only got 1 at follow up. It’s been a total of 5 months and i do believe need more. Now idk if I should get 1 or 2. It’s nerve wracking because I’m so afraid to over do it.
You can use a Sculptra to the marionette lines, very sparingly. I also feel there will always be a place for hyaluronic acid filler to the marionette lines, lips, and perioral area. Chances are you may need more Sculptra. I would definitely follow up with your provider.
Could you mention best dilution. I usually do 8ml saline plus 2ml lido.
Can you do a video of how to do the 5 min massage 5x's a day after you get sculptra? That would be great. TY!

5:49 What is causing the skin discoloration to the treated area?
Great video, thank you! I have a lot of volume loss in my temples, I'm early 40s, lean but not excessively thin, and I Powerlift. Will sculptra help or is fat transfer a better option in general for the temple area?
Hi Jennifer. Glad you enjoyed the video. Although both treatments can give volume to the temple area It’s a bit hard to compare the 2 treatments as fat transfer is a surgery whereas Sculptra is not, it’s non-invasive. I don’t perform fat transfers as I’m not a surgeon but I imagine it’s one and done for several years with a fat transfer. Sculptra is less invasive and you will likely need a few treatments but you don’t have to undergo surgery.
What about Renuva injection??
Yes indeed, irregularity can show on the face, or small unvisible lumps you may feel here and there only if tou touch your face…reason why you need a doc who is specialised on fat transfer and has many years of experience on that, i remember i asked the doctor about the doc at that tome of how many/average fat transf he performs per week 🤭 (at the end of the day it is about my face and it is not cheep,)😏 i have no lumps or irregularities. I hope this reply is helpful to you👋🌷

@@nadya6582 I’m afraid that I cannot advise when I have not seen your face. I do offer virtual consults though
Well... at about $750/vile.. that's a pretty good chunk of money... Especially if you're a person who needs 6 viles.. Now you're talking $4500.. i'm betting the cost per vile for the Injector is no where near/not even close to the retail price of $750.
When you pay it’s not only about the cost of the product, which is very high by the way. You are paying for the service and for the injectors time to administer the product.
It's called...LIFE lol
How much did you all pay for these Scultpra vials you’ve gotten in your states? I am seeing a big difference in between clinics and would like to understand what is the average cost per vial.
I usually don’t have to pay because I work in the field but the cost does vary by state and by practice. Maybe you can Google what the average price per vial of Sculptra is. I charge $925
The plastic surgery office near me had a special for $550 a vial. It's usually around $800 in SE Virginia.
1:26 Bless! Now just to find someone in my area that does Sculptra
Can you use Sculptra as a biostimulator?I have bad experience with filler and i know that Sculptra can bring big problems if not injected right.But does it have same effect if you use as mesoterapi?
Yes Sculptra is a biostimulator. I’m not sure what mesoterapi is. I’ve heard of mesotherapy but I think that targets fat, no?
Fat and also other things like Hyron for the skin.I love mesotherapi.I do it a couple of times every month.So i was thinking this will be a little safer to do.I am so scared that something can go wrong.I did filler that was put in to shallow in my tempels and i needed to dissolve it.Did 3 times a week for 4 weeks.I was 45 but looked like 80!So bad.So i dont do filler anymore.
@@catrineso Oh interesting
Can you put Sculptra if you’ve had filler 6 months ago?
My derm did my first session of Sculptra last week, fillers in February. Returning in 5 weeks for second session. I did hear a youtube dr. say Sculptra enhances filler but I don't recall all the details.
I am 22 but have always had really sunken in eyes. I would really appreciate your opinion on what type of treatment you think would be beat for that. Is Sculptra good for more volume under the eyes?
Avoid sculptra. It is just scarring beneath skin
Excellent explanation
Thanks so much!
You really brushed past the cost quickly. Can we get a round about number of how much a vile is?
It depends on the area you being seen in and the expertise of the person treating you. Most practices here in LA charge around $900-$1000 a vial for the face
@NaturalInjector wow it could cost a 60 yo possibly $6000. Is that still less than face rejuvenation surgery?
@@carmensalome Yes that means it can end up costing around $6k. But you don’t have to pay all up front. You start by doing a few vials at a time. A facelift can cost 20k-100k depending on who is doing it and it does not address volume loss, unless you are also doing fat transfer.
Does sculptra/ lanluma works for a buccal fat removal?
I think it could definitely help restore the volume lost from buccal fat removal.
Will you recommend starting at 33?
Is sculptura available in W.Bengal, India?

I hope you can get Sculptra soon! Thanks for sharing your story Amy. I love Sculptra for the areas you mentioned. Your cheekbones are likely more pronounced because of the loss of volume to the temples and mid cheek area
I need to know if you heard anything about Reversal injections it's a Korean product, it's a PLA+HA .
Because when I went to my doctor to ask him about sculptra, he told me that Reversal injections do the exact thing .I want to do sculptra but unfortunately, we don't have it in our country, can I do Reversal instead?
I have not heard of Reversal. I didn’t realize Sculptra was not available in Korea. If it’s PLA it can probably stimulate collagen but Scultpra is just PLLA with no HA acid. My only issue with products that are a filler and a collagen stimulator is how are you going to decipher how much collagen stimulation you got when you’re doing a filler at the same time that’s gonna give you correction. I guess you would know when the effects of the HA are gone and you still feel the areas are corrected

I have never heard of Lanluma. Is this an FDA approved injectable?
@@NaturalInjector it is approved. It' contains more powder than sculptra. Its a newer version of sculotra
@@Altaw33l Interesting. Don’t think it’s here in the US
Does the way it’s injected matter? My provider likes to place a few bollus deep in the cheeks to the bone. nearly 2 months later and I don’t notice any difference. Going for a second session soon but I’m wondering if the method of injecting matters. Can you do a video on how it’s done?
I actually do those depot injections too. I didn’t always but now I do. It takes 3 full months until most of the collagen is built so you may not notice it a 2 months and even if you wait you may not notice it with only one treatment. Sometimes it takes a few treatments
@@NaturalInjector Thank you for answering! My injector told me I would only need 2 sessions but she didn’t do the temples or nasiolabial folds and I think I do need that. My folds are noticeable. When you do the deep injections do you also do the lighter ones on the temples and into the folds? My injector says she doesn’t do them but maybe I need to go to a different provider for that if I don’t see significant difference in another month or how long should I wait?
@@duchessdelarue5983 Do you know why she doens’t do those areas? Is it just on you that she doesn’t think you need it, or she doesn’t do those areas period. I do deep on the temples but subcutaneously in the smile lines or nasolabial folds. I have my patients wait a full 3 months after Sculptra to see most of the results.
@@NaturalInjector she said my temples don’t need it (I think they do I’m 50) and that she never injects into the nasiolabial folds cause it’s too dangerous and she didn’t want to risk it. She told me to just get filler there if I still need it in 3 months cause she thought my cheeks would lift a little and help with those lines but that’s what bothers me the most - they’ve gotten deeper in the last 6 months!
@@duchessdelarue5983 She never injects into the nasolabial folds with Sculptra?? I feel much safer using Sculptra than I do using filler because it is less likely to occlude an artery because it’s basically micro particles of PLLA you’re injecting mixed with water. Filler is a thick gell. To me, that doesn’t make sense. 🤷♀️.
Wow how i wish u were in Atlanta. Do you have providers in Atlanta please?
I wish I knew someone in ATL. Sorry don’t know anyone there
Hi. I had sculptra injected and my injector injected my cheeks asymmetrically. I had very high full cheek bones. I had no clue she has putting it in my upper cheeks. I'm three weeks out and I'm terrified my face will look strange. I was worried I lost my definition. I'm so scared i will have too much volume in my already lifted full cheekbones. I'm so scared I will look how she injected me because she went higher on one of my cheekbones. I don't want to loose my natural bone structure
Your injector should know how to enhance your beauty so dont freak out as She doesn't want to lose a customer like you.
How you look immediately after Sculptra is not your true results so hope that gives you some reassurance. I would definitely follow up with her to compare results.
@@NaturalInjector Thank you so much for replying. Sadly my face at four weeks is uneven and it has entirely changed my face shape. I look heavy and older. Its biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. I would do anything to have my old face back. I had a perfect diamond faced shaped with a beautiful jawljne and now my cheeks are down to my chin and my beutiful jawline definition is gone. I'm so scared this will be my face for life. I didnt even know she was injecting my whole face.
@@sassyfrasssarah Your cheeks are down to your chin?? I don’t know if thats possible. Curious, how many vials did your injector do?
I had my first vial last year right before turning 41. I was told that I can get one sculptra vial every year and I should be fine. I have an appointment set up at the end of this month right before turning 42. Is this good?
Not sure as I would have to assess your face. You can do more than 1 vial a year though
@dl9118 any update please
@@ritasharqawi7367 Hi! This was my 3rd year getting sculptra. Remember I only do it once a year and that's because I started at a good time before my skin really starts sagging. I see firmness and feel softness. Numerous compliments of how great my skin looks. I also take collagen orally and drink lots of water.
@@ritasharqawi7367 Hi! This is my third year getting sculptra. I feel and see firmness and softness. I also drink a lot of water and take collagen supplements. I get numerous compliments on how great skin I have.
