Sculptra promotes collagen in the areas it is injected. It is recommended to inject the entire face which includes, temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines (frown lines at the corner of the lips). This provides a unifom and comprehensive treatment for the whole face. It comes as a vial and it is generally recommended to inject a total of 1 vial for every decade of the patient’s age. For example if you are 40 years old, you would need a total of 4 vials, however the number of vials you need will vary and will be determined during your consultation. Treatments can be divided into 2-3 appointments approximately 3-4 weeks apart.
