I had Sculptra 4 years ago at age 54 and it was so worth it. It definitely helped with overall firmnes and wrinkle reduction and the added bonus was with acne scars. I have moderate acne scarring and Sculptra smoothed my skin so that about 70% of my scars were non existent. I had refresh treatments after 2 years and so far have been so pleased with the results.

Who is your doctor? Pls share
How many sculptural sessions did you do?
How many treatments did you have? And where did you have it done at. Thank you
@@pattyperfumo7470 I started with 2 vials and went back for 2 more vials 2 months later. I return about once a year for a a vial or 2. It is not cheap. I paid 1000 dollars for 1 vial. I live in Florida and had it done at Waters Edge Dermatology in West Palm Beach. Dr. "Bebe" is a master injector and does beautiful work with any injections or lasers.
Warning, I had one injection of Sculptra one year ago. I didn't have any nodule development but It made my face look permanently swollen. I look like I gained weight and when I smile my face looks like a blow fish (slight exaggeration). The worse thing I have ever done to my face. I have always had a fat face not because of weight gain but genetics. It has always made me look younger than I am but not necessarily more beautiful and that is where the problem lies with all these people getting injections as they age. Adding weight to you face doesn't necessarily make you look better or younger. Actually a thinner face is considered more appealing. Filling in were there are hollows can help but Sculptra was developed to add volume to the cheeks...yuck. I wish someone would have told me this. I thought I has using something that was more natural and would grow collagen overtime. Looking fat and bloated in my face is the last thing a women in her 50s wants.
The question is did you actually get sculptra or were you scammed? Or did you go to a bad injector?
I had a series of Sculptra injections done 4 years ago at age 63. I wound up with a small, barely visible nodule in my temple area, but overall it definitely added volume where I wanted it and smoothed everything out. Plus, my skin did take on a nice "glow"! It lasted a good 3 years and looked great, but I wouldn't do it again because (1) it's expensive, (2) it hurt while getting it, and (3) I don't have the funds anymore and am trying not to use my credit cards. Now I just now follow good skincare routines, and have fun playing with my makeup to try and hide my "perceived imperfections".
If you had the money to do so would you still??
@@alejandraflores4601 get out of here
@@deluciani my
Did you just ’live with the nodules, did/ do they dissolve, or did you have to spend to remove them?
I’ve been suggested by my doctor for sculptra for scars a paired with Morpheus 8 , would the results be forever ?
I am 76 and had some volume loss after having surgery done in January 2020, where I ended up losing weight, both in my body and my face! I am naturally petite and thin, and did not look good with the weight loss in my face. I had Sculptra done in January of 2021 and ended up having four treatments. The result was great! Now I do not have that gaunt look in my cheeks and my skin has a glow as well. I have been doing hyaluronic fillers since I was in my mid 50's. I reserve those for lip lines and the nasolabial folds and I will continue to do those for upkeep. I've always had a dermatologist or plastic surgeon that I trust to do any of these treatments and they have always been very natural. With the exception of my husband, no one ever really notices😊
I just had my second time of injections last week so I will have them once more. So far I have already seen small improvements and I am very happy with them. I am very happy I have been able to get Sculptra!
Thank Dr Dray for explaining the pros and cons so clearly
That was the most straightforward explanation of Sculptra I have seen, thank you. I am seeking to make my cheekbones seem higher like they were in my youth and after reading some of these comments, it seems as if it would make my face look rounder so now I'm thinking Radiesse may be the way to go (which I saw on your chart) but I'm confused about that option too. But I know that's irreversible too so I'm taking my time deciding on that route.
Sculptra for the cheekbones is great. I think it helps keep cheeks lifted which helps slow down face sagging and jowls. Thank you for the informative video!
Im 3 mos into the Sculptra time period. Im 66 and still do not want a face lift. I have just now , 12 weeks, noticed a definite great result....no more nasal labial folds, marionette lines are greatly diminished and the creases in my cheeks are a lot less noticeable. Im super pleased after only one application.
Is your result after only one injection? Or did you have multiple injections as a series? I'm your age and only want to address minor jowling and faint marionette lines, but they really, really bug me. It was my understanding that Sculptra in the cheek area would "lift and tighten" the face to some extent to improve the appearance of jowls and marionette lines. Did you have that kind of result? Thank you!
Thank you for the comparison- just what I needed to know!
Always educating us on topics we didn’t even think we would be interested in.
Thanks for watching
I have always wondered about Sculptra. Thank you for covering this Dr Dray, I appreciate all of the knowledge you share.
Thanks for watching!
I don't think my derm uses Sculptra. I'll have to check.
Another video full of great info, Dr. Dray. Can you do a video showing benefits of patient's own fat transfer? Pros vs cons? And a video on how HRT affects skin barrier?
DrAmirKaram has some videos. I think Dr. Anil Rajani also has some on fat transfer. Have you seen her video, how to prevent thinning skin? She does talk a little about HRT. She also has that video on Emepelle.
Yes, id love more videos like those mentioned
Thank you for the full story and caveats - valuable information for those of us getting "wiser".
Thank you!! This topic was so long awaited!
I love Sculptra. After loosing 70 pounds I had 8 vials done over a year. It gave me back the volume and made my skin look amazing.
That's awesome 👌
8 vials is a lot. Did they stagger them to make sure it was not too much?
Thank you so much Dr Dray! Would you please talk about PDO lines?
I had Sculptra 2 years ago when I was 49 and I definitely like the results overall. I’m now thinking it’s time to go back for more and it’s been 2 years since last treatment. I was quite surprised at how sore I was around my jaw. It was difficult to massage 5 times a day for 5 minutes when it’s so sore. I think the soreness lasted at least a week. Other than that, I’m happy with Sculptra. No nodule formation at all.
Same here sore but no nodules
At matter of interest Did this treatment get rid of jowls?
@@debbiedejager2948 it helped the jowls by doing a bit of a lift but didn’t get rid of them completely.
No it doesn’t get rid of jowls
Same, had soreness for over a week right where the jaw bone goes together
Great video thank you and some great responses too from people who've had sculptra.
I'm very excited for this!
I would like to hear you discuss the doughy appearance you mentioned from traditional filler... what causes it and how to avoid.
My previous plastic surgeon refused to do any filler other than HA fillers on face, same is the case with an amazing RN I go to, they say they're irreversible and may cause serious aesthetic issues.
I had never heard of sculptra before, thanks Dr. Dray for that info!!
Thank u fir this video! Finally I hear an explanation that makes sense…
I spent years competing in endurance sports (running and cycling), and my face had a very sunken and skeletal look to it. I noticed when I gained 10 pounds during winter I looked a lot better in my face, but I'd lose that weight as I got more active in warmer months and the face looked worse. So at 39 I tried sculptra, and am very happy that my face now shows less hollows, less smile lines, less wrinkles, just a more robust and healthy appearance. It was a slow/gradual process though, and I got my injections spread out every 4-6 months. I was told I may need an occasional top-off every year or two. But I'm glad to have this more natural approach rather than some foreign filler that just stays there until it goes away. No lumps/bumps and very natural looking.
Best treatment I’ve ever done!!
I had Radiesse on my neck and love it. Can you do a video talking about it please 🥰
Hi. I love Sculptra! At 61 I started using Restalyn in my mid 50's. Chin, smile lines and my under eye area. My injector has Angel hands! I have never had any issues nor any puffy looks. My injector asked me if I would like to try Sculptra. Yes!!! I have not looked back. I was treated with only 1 treatment per year spaced at every 2 years. I really don't need the Restalyn anymore. The Sculpture gives me a very natural look overall. No one has ever asked me if I have had anything done! I think the main factor is above and beyond the product. The injector has to know which products you need, how to use them and how much to use. That's so important!
The massages after Sculptra sound much more dramatic then they are. They feel really good and the 5 days go by really fast as time does anyway. Even 5 minutes 5 times a day goes by fast. It's worth the long lasting results.( 2 years!)
I hope this helps someone.
Thank you!
You are sooooo appreciated!
Hi can you share who your injector is
Good to know. Thanks for this
Hello Dr Dray,
Iwas wondering if perhaps you have a video about Radiesse. I think it would be interesting to learn how it differs from Sculptra. Thank you
I just received my first treatment after many years of fillers. I am 64 and found that fillers weren’t lasting very long anymore. A year from now I am planning a neck and lower facelift and just got my upper eyelids done. I’m very confident in my two Doctors. One is very experienced with this product while the other is the surgeon and filler expert. I have two sets of eyes on my face which I really like plus an RN who does lasers and a facialist. I received sculptra in temples, chin and area between jaw and cheek and just a little to balance out nose to lip. This office has a less is more philosophy so I feel like I look refreshed but not overfilled. I’m thin and angular so it is important to me to embrace that and not overdue
It. I hope I have a good result!
How did you like the sculptra results? Have you had the lower facelift? Thanks for sharing your experience!
Dear Dr Dray
Thank you for posting highly relevant videos day after day, week after week! I am really grateful for the way you educate us!
I have a question about sculptra vs tretinoin: do tretinoin work as a bio stimulator on collagen production in the same way that sculptra does? In other words: do I get the same results using tretinoin consistantly as I would get from a treatment with sculptra?
Again - thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge with us!
New to your channel Dr. Dray and I want to thank you for an educational and informative video. Very good information to know when trying to make a decision. I just hate it doesn't work well for seniors.
Thank you for your time and efforts! Good job! 🥰🇨🇦🙏🏼👏🌹
Thank you for the very interesting video. Can you please also give a talk about Radiesse?
Wow pretty lipgloss color!!!! 🥰
thanks
have an awesome Tuesday guys
I’ll stick to fillers if I decide I need them (want them). Thank you Andrea 🙌🏻
This brings up the question... What is a thread lift and what are the ups and downs of such procedures?
Thanks for the info, babe.
Great information to decide about our treatments
Thanks for watching
Loving the little bit of makeup on you Dr Dray! Look so pretty 😍
Happy Wednesday, Doc! 🌞
You too!
Thank you for your interesting video.
Happy Wednesday, Dr. Dray 🤍🌸☀️🎀😊
👱♀️❤
Morning!
Quite interesting! Thank you for another good video! See ya soon
Thank you too
you look beautiful thanks for all the great help .......
Happy Wednesday!!👋💕
You too!!
Wow fantastic video and so informative! Thank you so much Dr Dray! ♥️
Hi Doc, pls cover the topic about exfoliative keratolysis. Thanks 🙏
Awesome video!
Wow did you y chance use it, your looking awesome Andrea🎉
I had a ‘permanent’ filler (can’t remember which brand) injected into my chin by a highly regarded facial plastic surgeon in my city. I had a very weak chin and it negatively impacted my self esteem. It was the best decision I ever made!
tongue posture too, look it up
Interesting I have a strong chin which I despise I would love to have a weak chin I guess no one is ever satisfied with what they have.
@@mizravenkustoms if you google “weak chin” i don’t think you’d want it, but perhaps a weak-er chin! but yes agreed
I want one too! Can you share some details
Happpy Wednesday!
👱♀️❤
happy wednesday
You look very pretty 🤩 today Dr. Dray. Whatever it is….Keep do it.
This is so helpful. Thank you! Also- it is nice to know the other names of the PLLA injectables, since not everyone uses Sculptra. It can be hard to find a provider. Now I know! Thanks again!
Great!! How about radiesse? Great content as always !
Dr. Anil Rajani and Dr. Jasen Emer (derm) have videos on this.
I know I'm only in my thirties but I have beeb particularly interested in Sculptra for quite some times now. I might try it out! Thank you.
Happy Wednesday Dr. Dray❤️!
L💓v from 🇵🇹🇪🇺
Same to you!
Dr Dray I for one really appreciate the wealth of knowledge you provide.
thanks for watching
Just had it yesterday….again…love the youthful fullness I get but in a natural way…..I do this about 1 time a year…..I’m pretty sore today and bruised….swollen…it’s a little more intense than some other filler because I get more of it in perimeter of my face
Happy Wednesday Dr Dray...see you tomorrow x🤩💙
You too!!
I would like to hear your opinion about Aǹalemma water device🤔 Great content Dr Dray!
Always appreciate your videos and information, Dr. Dray. After doing some research, I had my first Sculptra treatment a week ago. Still quite bruised but excited to see results in the coming weeks.
Can makeup cover the bruises?
So how did you do?
Rockin the 50s!
Dr. Dray could you please make a video about Sculptra vs Ultherapy, thank you
I'd love to hear Dr compare Sculptra vs. Lanluma vs. Ultracol.
Thanks for a very informative video. Can it be used on the neck?
I have had four vials of Sculptra in my face and I am ecstatic over the results. You have to be patient and I am one year out now and my face is fuller and smoother and glowing. It is the best thing out there. I went to a plastic surgeon as I am more comfortable with someone who knows more about the face. She is a great surgeon. No nodules if injected by someone who knows what they are doing.
Glad to read this. I've had two vials already. Scheduled for 4 more over next 4 months. Hopi g for good results.
Which area is your doctor practicing?
@@beauteatoutagetimelessbeau594 Boca Raton, Florida
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing results with SCULPTRA injections. I cannot give enough importance to the experience of the specialist doing the procedure. They must be experienced and very knowledgeable of the facial structure, like a « Cosmetic Artist ».
Love it 🔥
Thanks Dr.
I had my injector tell me that she has clients that have done Sculptra for so many years that now they have so much scar tissue she can barely get a needle in their face.
Yikes is that common with sculptra?
I have a great doctor. He doesn't do surgeries, all his procedures are done in the office. I love the Sculptra he used. He was very thorough about explaining it all to me. I'm very satisfied with him and my results. It's not expensive when you compare it to a facelift and other surgical procedures.
Who is your Doctor? I want Scuptra done but I don’t know any Really Good MD.
who is the doc pls
Dr. Dray thank you for this information, did not know about this one. Love to watch your videos. Can you sometime talk about bifida?
If you mean bifida ferment, I believe she's talked about it in the video on estee lauder's advanced night repair.
Thank you!
This is why I love Elllanse (benefits of Sculptra, but without the risk of granular balls developing, to my understanding)!
You have also granuloma risk after injection of Ellansė.
Hi Dr Dray, thank you for this video. Do you have an opinion on the new microcoring (like Ellacor) devices that are coming out? Hard to find many before and afters but the photos in the studies look impressive.
Hi Dr Dray, could you please make a video about radiofrequency microneedling? I've heard so many contradicting opinions about that. Some people say it melts down your face fat. But then, my esthetician says it all depends on the settings - you use different settings to melt down the fat and slim your belly, and different settings to tighten your skin on the face. But then again, I saw a video where this youtuber said we shouldn't trust claims made by the companies that sell those technologies, because those treatments that are supposed to be minimally invasive are much more invasive than we think. For example, she thinks Renée Zellweger may have had Thermage or Ultherapy and it cost her her face fat. I know, these are different modalities, but it got me thinking - what if my esthetician offers radiofrequency microneedling in good faith, because she trusts the company that she got her machine from, but this machine does in fact melt your face fat? Maybe it does tighten the skin, but at the same time, it melts the fat, so the overall result is good in younger clients, but not that in those older ones? Please make a video about that.
You are correct - ultheraphy can be problematic. It did cause some fat lost for me. Morpheus 8 was great for my laugh lines but not good for my hyperpigmentation. I say light peels and micro needling are less problematic and worth it. You have to weigh the pros and cons and the risks of course.
With RF and Ultherapy you are playing Russian roulette with your face. The fact is despite what the manufacturer claims these modalities are completely unpredictable. Just go read all the horrific reviews on RealSelf. You’re better off sticking to microneedling with PRP and TCA peels or actual surgery.
@@elizabethwilk9615 when you said “not good” for your hyperpigmentation, did you mean it didn’t help or that it made it worse??
@@amessina4333 It worsen my hyperpigmentation too
just did my second Sculptra! it helps with redness as well, did it with Subcision for scarring! I'm 29, but i guess good to start young! 😀
What is Subcision?
Oooh, do a video on EZGel
I'm sceptical of the "natural" marketing excuses, but I've got something scheduled anyhow, lol
Hello Dr. Dray! I would like to know if botox is good at all? Thank you! 🥰
Thanks!
Thank you for your support!
You mentioned Radiesse. Can you tell us how the two compare? It sounds like they are similar in that they both result in collagen production. 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Dr, do you still recommend SIO silicon patches and DRMTLY neck cream to smooth out neck wrinkles?
Curious about a comparison between Sculptra versus PRP/PRF treatments since they are both more on the "natural" side of injectables that use the body's own restorative processes to deliver the "final product"
PRF doesn't add much volume, but it does thicken the eyelid skin nicely and therefore makes hollows look less pronounced. I did 4 rounds and I like the result. I've tried PRP in the past , it is not as good.
I use their skincare line. Stem cell mist, caviplla serum and promoter cell snail mucin. Such great products!
Hi - Can I ask you did you like the result I brought it the mist didn’t use yet! I was thinking to get it the serum first but since it it’s expensive I decided for the mist first but I’m still thinking it about it the serum before I decide to spending it that kind of money in a doctors office’s! Thank you
@@anabeldau3967 I really like all 3 products. The mist is meant to be used so frequently though. I started just using it in the am with a microcurrent device bc i was going through it so quickly. I agree though in that it’s a so expensive. They do have a smaller version of the serum though you definitely get more of your monies worth in the large. I LOVE the promoter cell! You have to consistently use all the products for it to work over time though.
Dr dray is brilliant. Another useful intelligent video. Nice 👏 👏
The temporariness of fillers was what turned me off of them. I’m so glad we have more options now
Would love to hear your thoughts on HarmonyCa
Can you please do a video on Ellanse? A lot of doctors shift from Sculptra to Ellanse.
I had filler injections in my fine lines in my face. I had the nodules you talked about. They weren't noticeable but I knew that they were there. It lasted for 2 1/2 years and now it's time again but I am skeptical.
did the nodules remain or finally disappear? I'm afraid of the nodules!
I’m 65 and completed my 3 treatments about 2 months ago and am already seeing great results. My injector said to expect the full results in another 4-5 months. Then follow up with one treatment every year to keep up the results. I did the math and for me, even though it’s expensive at the beginning, it’s cheaper than regular filler in the long run when you consider you only need one vial per year after the first year. My vials were $655.
I have had 2 rounds of Sculptra.I am 57 years old- and was initially looking to add fullness. The first few days are great because the swelling. I will probably do one more round, my injector has me wait ten weeks in between
Would you mind commenting on best ways to reduce deep marionette lines? Thank you!
I think about filler vs scultra and also fat transfers..Do you have a video about fat transfer?
I've had sculptra done 2 years ago. 3 vials for my cheeks to help out the volume and midcheek lines. Got a good response for more volume, but it only softened the midcheek lines a little, darn. But face yoga is helping that along too.
Not sure if I'd do it again so soon. I'm a little too spooked on the potential side effects. No lumps or bumps for me, but I have noticed that my skin feels thicker. And, I've read that some people's skin feels like a mask before too long. I'm sure I'll end up reupping at some point, but I'm not in a hurry.
My cheeks are flat from the side, i wonder if 3 rounds of sculptra will give me fuller dramatic cheekbones. I have inner cheek but no actually cheekbone. I feel like more collagen wont help because i dont have cheekbones in that area. Did you see dramatic fuller results?
@@CriscianaLovely it can create cheekbones for god candidates
@@JulesJustJules8 thanks! have you done it before or work in cosmetics?
Hi Dr Dray! What do you think about growth factor serum?
I had Scuptra in the past yr @ 60+. 1st 2 viles good, temples, under eye / lower or orbital ,& cheek area in front of ear? several weeks later 1 more towards sides of chin, mid cheek, nasolabial...I was a bit scared when I got home & looked like a hound dog with bulging saggy cheeks. It did settle down, but 2 areas with nodules on the rt side...I did do all the massaging.
Can you talk about fat transfers for firming face, hands etc.
Hi. Dr. Dra can you talk about ellanse?
I want both, no lie. LOL
I'm used to hearing a ton about Radiesse, actually rather than this. But hey, now I just hope the costs are... well..
Unfortunately even if I could use some loan $ for this... :(
I would totally get it in my hands as well as my face, that'd be safe or whatnots, right?
