Patience is so important. I am a slow responder to Sculptra. It takes me 3 - 6 months to really start seeing the results. But my results last for years. I love Sculptra!
@carolinabrown8336 Thahk you so much for sharing … I am 36 and have 5 vials done , i had my last vial done 4 months ago , I am starting to feel so discouraged, I live in New Zealand and it’s very expensive here , was your results 3-6 months from your last vial or from your first ? thank you so much ❤
@@ClaireMcGrath-s4c From the last. Maybe you can get Before and After pictures? Because the changes happen so slowly that I feel like you really need those pics to make a fair assessment.
@@carolinabrown8336ok that’s encouraging! i’ll keep waiting my 6 month will be june so I still have time to see a difference, thank you so much for replying ! yes we pulled up my before and after pics in in January and she even agreed there was no improvement 😭
I just finished my 5th vial of sculptra. 3 sessions. 3+ month in between each took about 8 months. I'm 53. It was absolutely the best thing I've ever done for my skin. I'm just deciding whether I should do a sixth vial or wait another year. I'm leaning toward waiting. I do have a tiny little granuloma but it's undetectable and super tiny and I barely notice it and is going away. I did massage my face and did guasha regularly. But if anybody is reading this granulomas are practically nothing, you can't see them. You can barely feel them and they go away after a few months.
Great video on Sculptra, as usual, Emily. I am 56, naturally lean, athletic, and had experienced serious sinking in the last 4 years or so. I am on HRT since age 49, and had 3 Morpheus 8 treatments about 2.5 years back. It was within approximately 6 months of finishing Morpheus that I noticed my face sinking. I have heard there “could be” a link between that and melting of facial fat, who knows. All I know is I no longer recognized myself and got tired of people around me asking me if I was sick. I began researching Sculptra and after many months I began my Sculptra journey. I am 6 mos past my first treatment. I had 3 total, spaced approximately 6 weeks apart and 3 vials each treatment to address sinking mid face and temples (I had serious “peanut head”). My medical derm is amazing, and my results so far have been amazing, too. It was extremely expensive (I’m in Canada) and costs approximately $950 CDN per vial. I have zero regrets, my skin condition looks luminous, I have begun to fill out again and I think it’s taken about 10 years off my appearance.
Hi Caroline. Thanks so much for sharing your story! That’s so good to hear that Sculptra worked well for you! Sculptra runs around that same price here in Los Angeles. Wow, you had 3 vials treatment session?
@@NaturalInjector yes, 3 vials per treatment. It has worked quite well for my temples and the placement of Sculptra over the three treatments varied a little bit. But in each treatment there was quite a bit used in the temple area. I meant to ask you, did you use 2 vials on your client total (I.e. 1 vial each session or 2 vials each session)? My mid-face had become quite “flat” as well. I actually have to go back for some follow up photos very soon. It really is part of a larger skin care plan, but we will determine near the 1 year mark whether to do a bit more, augment an area (like the temples) with a HA filler, etc. Thanks again for your content. You do an excellent job.
Glad to hear this. I’m in my early 40’s and also very lean and fit. Volume loss is my main concern and I feel like I’m doing everything else to maintain good skin and collagen (aside from HRT, which I’m unable to take). I’m very interested in trying sculptra in the near future
@@carolinewhitelaw1068 Oh wow 3 vials in one session. The temples do take a lot but I’ve never really heard of doing 3 vials on the face in one session. Do you know how much was placed in the temples? In the client in this video, the one who looks like Cate Blanchett, I used 1 vial a few weeks apart for a total of 2.
@@SG-wq4rm you do the first few vials over a period of time. I did 2 vials to start with followed by another 1 six weeks later then another 1 six weeks after that. I just had another vial done after a year and a half. Going to wait another month and likely get one more then I probably won’t get anything for another year or two.
@@SG-wq4rm This video will tell you more about how often you go in for treatments and how many areas of the face you can treat with 1 vial 👉 ua-cam.com/video/fcbybJ4ymQM/v-deo.htmlsi=XA-f9V5potYqF6Ik
Thanks so much for that info. I have so far had 2 lots of (2 vials each time of sculptra) will be going for my 3rd lot in 2 weeks. I done extensive research before hand as well via UA-cam etc so knew how it works. Whilst the first one I did not see much results (which I knew) the seconds lot I really can tell. My provider is amazing, she explained it all to me as well. She has me come back around 9-10 weeks between the sessions. I am nearly 57 and know it may take me around 6 sessions to get my results in full. Also your UA-cam info is very helpful and appreciate works of wisdom in the educations on both sculptural and filler I’m excited to see after my 3rd one and love the gradual progress it does. So much better for me than filler ❤️
My left side looked like it caved in. I have been chewing on my right side all my life and the muscle on my left is hardly there. Lady put on syringe directly in my left cheek. Looks much better. I am thankful for scupltra. Had my second session but all over face and avoided the left cheek, looks beautiful. I have been going to a tongue specialist & I haven’t even been swallowing right lol. Tongue tie next & then Invisalign !!
@ thanks a bunch ! And I forgot to mention what made it worse too was getting filled dissolved on my left side of the face & I also sleep on my left side. So you can only imagine my delima at the time lol.
Dear Emily I remember you mentioned under another video that you dont actually buy the idea that Radiesse (even diluted) is much of a collagen stimulater (unlike sculptra). Did you see a study relating to this or what makes you think that? Also you mentioned in the same comment you might do a whole vid on radiesse vs sculptura. Would LOVE to watch it. Is it still something youre planning on doing? Thanks a lot for the interesting content!
Hello there. I’m a 36 years old colombian man and i’m gonna talk from my EXPERIENCE WITH RADIESSE. In 2022 when i was 34, i had barely a very low grade of flaccidness in my face but a doctor Recommended Radiesse so I did IT and I REGRET UNTIL TODAY OF HAVING THIS DONE. Thanks god it faded away a year after but although the Dr diluted the product a lot, It increased the volume of my cheeks. IT WAS HORRIBLE!! I lost my facial features for a year. I must clarify that i had beautiful cheeks, therefore I didn’t need volumen. I’d recommend RADIESSE FOR SOMEONE WITH VOLUMEN LOSS
@R.Castellanos I'm so sorry to hear that. I know exactly what you mean...it's horrible when you don't even wanna alter your face. Had it for an acne scar treatment (so just to improve the skin). But it ended up making me look like I suffer from moonface :(( But it actually ended up fading and going back to completely normal....like it was before? 😭😭 at least that. Was really starting to think it might be permanent the generated volume (as it's our own tisuse/collagen now 🙈🙈). It's so unethical to talk people into stuff they don't need. I'll def never touch this again or any filler 🙈🙈 hope you're doing fine now and are back to baseline with your nicely defined cheeks!!
@@Saibu-uo4ts yeah, definetely my face came Back to normal as IT was before, thanks god!! Although i did a research on the internet about some pills that Helped to absorb faster the calcium Hydroxyapatite (main component of radiesse) and i bought it on Amazon and i think IT helped
LOVE this video!!! I recently had smooth threads and some filler in lower face and above the lip line for vertical lines (did NOT like the result, botox was added and I can't say b's or p's lol) . So...next (nee provider, DR this time because her customer service was awful, ill be getting barbed threads and possibly a bit more filler across the marionette lines, THEN next visit is sculptra BECAUSE of this video!❤ You explained everything perfectly, and I believe, honestly!😊
So glad you found this video helpful! Also that’s a common thing that happens after getting Botox to your upper lip. I discussed it in this video 👉 ua-cam.com/video/ZKSzcR6I9fE/v-deo.htmlsi=m4GIA1CzBgkyV5EL.
@@NaturalInjector yes I did! And ughh...I wish I had seen that video sooner. Unfortunately I told my injector 5+ times that I'm face to face with people all day long and I dont want anything unnatural, she ignored. Hence, the new place lol Thanks again!!
Thanks for the video! I got my second vial of sculptra and I have been so excited on this sculptra journey! It's true about the smoking.... I smoked daily for so long but one day my body just didn't want it anymore... About 6 days after my last cigarette I about jumped 10 feet when I looked in the mirror that morning. In only six days my body rejoiced and my face was bright, fuller, luminous with color and moisturized on its own. I used to have combo skin but now it's just balanced. When I got sculptra it got even better .
Thank you so much for sharing your story! It’s good to hear you noticed a change in your skin after quitting. That’s so interesting to know. I’m treating someone with Sculptra now and he smokes cigars EVERY DAY, and inhales. I say that about inhaling because I was told that most ppl who smoke cigars don’t inhale, but he does and so far, it doesn’t look like his results are that impressive. Glad to hear you had great Sculptra results.
@cheekymonkeygirl3378 good! Never start....it was one of the stupidest thing I've ever done. I tried to quit many times but could never make it past 4 days . When I finally quit , it wasn't planned and I had no withdrawal symptoms at all but before when I would try to quit the withdrawal was unbearable.I really feel that somebody up there decided to bless me and take that addiction away. There is no other explanation and I am so grateful
@@NaturalInjector I think you misinterpreted my initial comment. I said I never smoked or used alcohol in my life meaning I have been sober since birth.
@@cheekymonkeygirl3378 I was responding to the person’s comment above 👆 at the very top. She said she quit smoking and noticed a change to her skin, for the better
Just got it done this week and asked this question. My dr said he didn’t go all the way to the bone so there will be less scarring. Also he used a canula
Hi Emily, what are your thoughts on other biostimulators like Ellanse (I think the substance is called polycaprone), polynucleotides, PRP/PRF etc.? How do they compare to Sculptra? Also, is fat grafting considered a filler/biostimulators?
We don’t have Ellanse here in the US so not sure. As far as PRF/PRP, I don’t think it would produce the same amount of collagen that Sculptra can. I’m not even sure how effective PRF/PRP is at producing collagen period. I wouldn’t put fat grafting into a biostimulator category because it has to be harvested, so I think of it as very different than a biostimulator like Sculptra. I know a lot of the fat goes away after fat grafting also.
Adding volume is the key to getting support or “lift” for the lateral brow. I have not heard of it being called a ponytail lift. I discussed it in this video 👉 ua-cam.com/video/HWmz-5ltJuw/v-deo.htmlsi=9duOsedAEj2sxotw
I’ve had it done with fat transfer. Filled the temples, the sides of the forehead and top of forehead, up into the hairline/scalp, that’s it. Gave me the heart-shaped face I had in my 20s instead of a round one. It’s also a great procedure if you have a low forehead and your brows are starting to droop, filling the upper, central forehead will give you a slight brow lift overall and a more feminine upper face…it also makes your face appear slimmer if you have full or broad cheeks (which was the effect I wanted).
This video was excellent… I got my first treatment in December and my second treatment in March and I quit smoking and I will no longer be tanning outside because what is the point of investing in Sculptra???
Emily, another great video🙌🙌🙌. How do you feel about using ez gel and some sculptra together, cause I have very thin skin under my eyes. I heard mixed results about ez gel, so It might better add some sculptra.🤔 Have a blessed day🙏❤️
@@ginderellablue no i know it can’t be used under eyes, that’s why I don’t want to rely only on sculptra . I dont meant to mix it . I meant to use them at the same time😉 ❤️
Please help me. I had 2 vials and after 6 weeks, we did 2 more. After the first set, I didn’t notice any real difference. Now it’s been 10 days and I am puffy in the cheeks and look unnatural. I hadn’t massaged a lot this time since it really hurt to do so. My provider says to keep massaging but I’m worried it’s getting worse. I also do feel bumps (granulomas?) inside my cheeks but they aren’t visible on the surface. Is this going to go away? I’m so worried!
Thank you so much for sharing I am in NZ , I have the best doctor so I know that factor is taken care of , I am 36 have had 5 vials in total over 3 months … it is now 4 months since my last vial, and no major improvements ( I don’t smoke wear spf 50 and a wide brim hat and take no diet drugs ) should the improvements time period for it to work come after the first vial or after my last vial ? Thank you so much for taking time to help 🙏🏻❤
I’m looking to get my first sculptra injection in June. I’m excited. But I’m also trying to lose a little weight (10 pounds or so) but I’m doing it slowly and naturally.. calorie defecit & more steps and movement. Should I wait until I reach my goal weight or should I still get results?
I have had two visits for Sculptra so far, each about 2 months apart. I am ready for my third visit, however, I have developed knots or bumps under my skin where original Sculptra was placed. Is this normal? I had same situation with normal filler in the past. My provider (PA) asked if I have an Auto Immune Disorder. Wondering if I should continue with another treatment of Sculptra? Thank you.
I work out a lot in fact I teach it. I’m afraid I’m gonna lose whatever fat I have in my face Left go away soon now will this sculptura go away because my body will metabolize it fast?
@@autumnrein1203 It’s really not possible to give you advice on how many vials I feel you will need because it’s not just based on an equation based on your age. You have to take into account what you look like. I would follow up with your provider.
@@autumnrein1203 I’ve not heard of this. I’ve used it to the lower face in certain areas. This video may be of help 👉 ua-cam.com/video/axyqX_gF_E4/v-deo.htmlsi=xVX6jIYcdanOEbKj
what about people that are on glp-1s for diabetes? is it just if your in calorie deficit your body can't produce collagen (that's what another doctor said)?
I really don’t know if that makes a difference. There are no studies on Scultpra results and those on GLP-1’s. So everything he stated was just from his own experience. I would assume that if you are losing weight rapidly from the GLP-1’s you wouldn’t respond well.
@@greymatt3r819 I don’t think so but I think you would have to take into consideration your BMI. If someone is moderately underweight, possibly. I do intermittent fasting and I have had good results. It also depends on how many vials you had over what period of time and how much volume loss you had.
@@NaturalInjector Thank you very much for responding, I'm not underweight, I had three sessions with a gap of 4-6 weeks in between, and one vial per session.
@@greymatt3r819 Thanks for sharing. I still am not able to see how much volume loss you had or compare your before and after photos. Did you follow up with your provider? What did they think? I do offer virtual consults.
What about Sculptra vs Radiesse? 41 years old, had 2 vials of Sculptra 4 months ago. I do see some results but wondering if Radiesse could do more...? Love your videos ❤️
@@forestsmom I don’t think that it is as good of a biostimulator as Sculptra. It’s only a biostimulator when you hyperdilute it and I don’t believe they are done with their studies.
I had one vial in the UK 2 months ago. The first 4 days were horrendous and my face felt like it doubled in size. It was so swollen and painful. Then it went down and seems to have ma barely any difference. Am scared to get more. I feel like I look like an addict as my mid face has lost so much volume since the menopause but just don't know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
@@mariawhiting4793 It’s only been 2 months, your full results are not usually present at 2 months but I also don’t know how old you are and how much volume loss you have. I would be sure to follow up with your provider. I offer virtual consults if you’re interested.
I do respond to your comments, sometimes at least. Sorry if it takes me awhile to comment back. I guess you can ask the provider if you can take a picture of the box and lot number of the product. If they didn’t have legit product they would probably be reluctant to give you that info. I’m debating on whether or not to do a video on the topic of counterfeit injectables.
I don't know how old is this woman but I am thinking at least 45. Hope she is 55 and sculptura makes her much younger?? Otherwise, she is beautiful but its discouraging if she is not older than 50
Also, you can share what you did for your lips because it was not a good result, that is important too as we can learn from your experience and what we musnt do!

Have you heard of sculptra injected for 'lift' rather than volume in the temples and hairline? It's like a sculptra 'ponytail lift'.
Adding volume is the key to getting support or “lift” for the lateral brow. I have not heard of it being called a ponytail lift. I discussed it in this video 👉 ua-cam.com/video/HWmz-5ltJuw/v-deo.htmlsi=9duOsedAEj2sxotw
I’ve had it done with fat transfer. Filled the temples, the sides of the forehead and top of forehead, up into the hairline/scalp, that’s it. Gave me the heart-shaped face I had in my 20s instead of a round one. It’s also a great procedure if you have a low forehead and your brows are starting to droop, filling the upper, central forehead will give you a slight brow lift overall and a more feminine upper face…it also makes your face appear slimmer if you have full or broad cheeks (which was the effect I wanted).
Interesting! I take tirzepatide and have wondered how that could effect sculptra results. I got filler instead and am happy
How long did your filler last since you’re on tirzepatide?
Can you use sculptra to lift the upper face ?
This video was excellent… I got my first treatment in December and my second treatment in March and I quit smoking and I will no longer be tanning outside because what is the point of investing in Sculptra???
Emily, another great video🙌🙌🙌. How do you feel about using ez gel and some sculptra together, cause I have very thin skin under my eyes. I heard mixed results about ez gel, so It might better add some sculptra.🤔 Have a blessed day🙏❤️
I’ve heard Sculptra should never be used around the eyes but maybe it’s okay if it’s mixed with ez gel.
@@ginderellablue no i know it can’t be used under eyes, that’s why I don’t want to rely only on sculptra . I dont meant to mix it . I meant to use them at the same time😉 ❤️
How about the massage we need to do after the sculptra vial ?
I got you. You can learn more about the massage from this video 👉 ua-cam.com/video/lopnx7phpCU/v-deo.htmlsi=Rzt90BhGTh52q0v-
Painful but worth it
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you

Hello! Do you have a favorite anti-aging laser that isn’t specifically for hyperpigmentation?
I don’t I’m sorry there are a lot of different lasers I think you would have to be more specific
Please help me. I had 2 vials and after 6 weeks, we did 2 more. After the first set, I didn’t notice any real difference. Now it’s been 10 days and I am puffy in the cheeks and look unnatural. I hadn’t massaged a lot this time since it really hurt to do so. My provider says to keep massaging but I’m worried it’s getting worse. I also do feel bumps (granulomas?) inside my cheeks but they aren’t visible on the surface. Is this going to go away? I’m so worried!
Thank you so much for sharing I am in NZ , I have the best doctor so I know that factor is taken care of , I am 36 have had 5 vials in total over 3 months … it is now 4 months since my last vial, and no major improvements ( I don’t smoke wear spf 50 and a wide brim hat and take no diet drugs )
should the improvements time period for it to work come after the first vial or after my last vial ?
Thank you so much for taking time to help 🙏🏻❤
That mother and daughter look like they used their counterfeit products on themselves 😳
👍 they do look like they used their own illegal products
I have very hollow temples and did 2 vials if sculptra. Would you suggest to add some filler as well?
Hi Emily. Thanks for your informative videos. Question-you don't seem interested injecting sculptra on the cheek bone area. Can you clarify why?
I’m looking to get my first sculptra injection in June. I’m excited. But I’m also trying to lose a little weight (10 pounds or so) but I’m doing it slowly and naturally.. calorie defecit & more steps and movement. Should I wait until I reach my goal weight or should I still get results?
I think if you lose 10 pounds, naturally and if it’s done gradually you should be ok.
Thanks for the video , is there any chance someone can lose their cheeks before of the sculptra ? Thanks
So pretty 😍
Hi Dr!! Just found ur channel! What do u think abt Aesthefill? Thanks!
Is it good for hollowed eyes?
@@Pescaicho no it’s not recommended to do under the eyes.
I have had two visits for Sculptra so far, each about 2 months apart. I am ready for my third visit, however, I have developed knots or bumps under my skin where original Sculptra was placed. Is this normal? I had same situation with normal filler in the past. My provider (PA) asked if I have an Auto Immune Disorder. Wondering if I should continue with another treatment of Sculptra? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s hard for me to advise without seeing the areas of concern. I would follow the advice of your provider.
Help ! I’m 30yr F , I think I overdid it. My face looks so big and puffy. How long does it take for Sculptra to go away? 😭
Sculptra is okay on full face microneedling metode?
If I take nicotine replacement and not smoke. Does that affect the results of sculptra?
Mdm, do you think Sculptra can reduce the distance philtrum?
@@luvblueberry8433 No I don’t think it will reduce the distance of the philtrum
If I have fillers can I do sculptra? I know I have to massage the treated area
What about melanated skin? How is the response of sculptra ?
@@Thebellreve Check this video out! 👉 ua-cam.com/video/lsj6-MdMsLg/v-deo.htmlsi=Vp_E8dBTHW4LHToC
I work out a lot in fact I teach it. I’m afraid I’m gonna lose whatever fat I have in my face Left go away soon now will this sculptura go away because my body will metabolize it fast?
Can sculptra be injected in the jawline?
Yes but it will not give you results that jawline filler will so it all depends on the goal
What do you think about renuva ?
I had 2 vials at age 38 and 4 at age 40. I need it again and I’m 42 do I need to do all 4 vials again?
@@autumnrein1203 It’s really not possible to give you advice on how many vials I feel you will need because it’s not just based on an equation based on your age. You have to take into account what you look like. I would follow up with your provider.
Thank you for the response. I also read that sculptra is not good for the lower face. Do you have any videos about this? Thank you ❤
@@autumnrein1203 I’ve not heard of this. I’ve used it to the lower face in certain areas. This video may be of help 👉 ua-cam.com/video/axyqX_gF_E4/v-deo.htmlsi=xVX6jIYcdanOEbKj
Which is better, Sculptra vs PRF?
If I’m currently on a semiglutide for maintenance only l, is it ok to get Sculptra?
@Emily Dowe have you heard of micro-needling sculptra? And if it is safe and effective.
Can you request a conservative amount for someone the first time using sculptra?
which area of the cheeks to inject sculptra for nasalabia folds?

Any recommendations for providers in Seattle?
I had co2 laser 10 weeks ago. Can I do sculptra yet?
what about people that are on glp-1s for diabetes? is it just if your in calorie deficit your body can't produce collagen (that's what another doctor said)?
I really don’t know if that makes a difference. There are no studies on Scultpra results and those on GLP-1’s. So everything he stated was just from his own experience. I would assume that if you are losing weight rapidly from the GLP-1’s you wouldn’t respond well.
May I ask how many vials you used in your patients knee area to get this result? It looks amazing. Thank you
Yes we did a total of 4 sessions of 2 vials each session (1 for each knee).
@@NaturalInjectorthank you very much for the info and your time.
@@user-gr2oo8bf6v you’re very welcome
Would intermittent fasting affect the effectiveness of Sculptra? It had no effect on me( Ive waited over a year) and Im trying to wonder why.
@@greymatt3r819 I don’t think so but I think you would have to take into consideration your BMI. If someone is moderately underweight, possibly. I do intermittent fasting and I have had good results. It also depends on how many vials you had over what period of time and how much volume loss you had.
@@NaturalInjector Thank you very much for responding, I'm not underweight, I had three sessions with a gap of 4-6 weeks in between, and one vial per session.
@@greymatt3r819 Thanks for sharing. I still am not able to see how much volume loss you had or compare your before and after photos. Did you follow up with your provider? What did they think? I do offer virtual consults.
Hi there can sculptra be done under eyes ?
No
Great question. No it should not be used under the eyes.
Is it safe to apply Sculptra in the forehead?
No I would not advise Sculptra to the forehead.
@@NaturalInjector thanks for the advice!
@@Ximena.Toscana 👍 foreheads are a risky area to treat
What about Sculptra vs Radiesse? 41 years old, had 2 vials of Sculptra 4 months ago. I do see some results but wondering if Radiesse could do more...? Love your videos ❤️
@@forestsmom I don’t think that it is as good of a biostimulator as Sculptra. It’s only a biostimulator when you hyperdilute it and I don’t believe they are done with their studies.
Can sculptra mess up with lymphatic drainage? And what are your thoughts on adipeau active face cream that claims to restore facial fat?
Good question. I have never heard any instances or reports of Sculptra blocking the lymphatic drainage. I’m not familiar with Adipeau face cream.
I had one vial in the UK 2 months ago. The first 4 days were horrendous and my face felt like it doubled in size. It was so swollen and painful. Then it went down and seems to have ma
barely any difference. Am scared to get more. I feel like I look like an addict as my mid face has lost so much volume since the menopause but just don't know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
@@mariawhiting4793 It’s only been 2 months, your full results are not usually present at 2 months but I also don’t know how old you are and how much volume loss you have. I would be sure to follow up with your provider. I offer virtual consults if you’re interested.
@@NaturalInjector thanks Emily x
@@mariawhiting4793 You’re very welcome!
I am 38 yo. How many vials you recommend should i get ? 3 or 4 vials ?

I know you never respond to me but I plan to get Sculptra in my city how can I determine if the Sculptra they are using is legit?
I do respond to your comments, sometimes at least. Sorry if it takes me awhile to comment back. I guess you can ask the provider if you can take a picture of the box and lot number of the product. If they didn’t have legit product they would probably be reluctant to give you that info. I’m debating on whether or not to do a video on the topic of counterfeit injectables.
@@NaturalInjector Please do make a video about it. I wish you were in Canada. You are so awesome. 🥲❤️
@@cheekymonkeygirl3378 I’ll definitely consider it.
@@NaturalInjector Thanks.
@@cheekymonkeygirl3378 👍
Can you please talk about PEELS
I don't know how old is this woman but I am thinking at least 45.
Hope she is 55 and sculptura makes her much younger?? Otherwise, she is beautiful but its discouraging if she is not older than 50
Also, you can share what you did for your lips because it was not a good result, that is important too as we can learn from your experience and what we musnt do!
@@claramoreno6119 Not a good result….lol. This is a result of Mother Nature. Let me guess. You think I injected my lips with filler?
120 pounds per viasl from the same companies used by doctors and aestheticians
has anyone here formed nodules?
Pdo/plla threads are cheaper and do the same thing
Definitely not the case
20 minutes for photos...... wow, please make sure your taking breaks.
Sculptra on keto???
Her lips are over filled 😮
She has sat in several videos that her lips are without injections that are her natural lips
Why can’t I speed up this video? 🫤
? I don’t know 🤷♀️
