How many sessions for Sculptra does a 60 year old need and when should the so called “new Sculptra be mixed prior?
Actual RealSelf Patient Comment: Hello, I had my 1st session with Sculptra and I am very concerned because everything I have read states that Sculptra should be mixed 72 hours prior to injection. The Doctor mixed it right then and there! Will this effect the outcome? and should I seek someone else as this doctor has already used incorrect fillers which did not work at all for the problem areas I have and now she states I probably need Sculptra. I feel like I am being taken for?
Dr. Persky’s Reply: f mixed properly, it is now an accepted practice to mix Sculptra immediately prior to use. I personally still pre-mix our Sculptra for at least 72 hrs prior to use as it has been a very effective and predictable method for excellent results in my patients. The number of vials of Sculptra and number of treatment sessions vary depending on the individual patient response, in general we estimate that patients will take about 1 vial per decade of age over a 6 to 9 month period, in your case the estimate would be 6 vials of Sculptra.You should always take your time to carefully choose an expert injector physician, if you have lost faith in your current doctor, then you may choose to move on.
