Is Sculptra the NEW Facelift Alternative?- Can Sculptra Really Replace a Facelift?

[@NaturalInjector]

Do you think injectables like Sculptra can really compete with a facelift? What’s your take on this patient’s results? Would you try Sculptra, or do you think surgery is the better route? Let me know in the comments! 👇. Feel free to share your stories.

another random question- is there anything you can recommend in lieu of HRT? I'm 42 and beginning to experience some peri-menopausal symptoms, but i'm unable to take any HRT (strong family hx of breast ca following use of HRT w/ several female family members)...just not a risk i'm willing to take. I'm very healthy, fit, and eat a clean diet, so i'm doing as much as i can without the "help" of anything synthetic (hormonally).

[@NaturalInjector]

@ I wish I could but I’m not an expert when it comes to HRT in those who are or may be higher risk. I recommend finding a provider who specializes in menopause. I had a virtual consult with menopause Taylor. I learned a lot from her videos. Have you heard of her?

[@EadsB7002]

@@NaturalInjector I see and yes I’ve maybe seen a video or two of hers a while back. I spoke with a dermatologist about a year ago who is in he same age and she recommended sticking to a good retinol/ tretinoin routine. I’m sure sculptra can only help with the collagen boosting part.

[@EazzDroppin]

I’ve had dissolvable sutures in the past that caused severe itching and moderate swelling. Could this be an indicator that I should avoid sculptra?

[@TheMrc1981]

I did 1 sculptra due to a saggy skin fkr a surgery i had, my cheeck sank, one injection helped... Soon i do a second... And yes sculptra helps + massage and RF

Emily - Thank you for this fantastic video! Initially, I went with fillers for the quicker results since Sculptra's waiting period felt too long for me. But I finally decided to try Sculptra six weeks ago, and I'm already loving my second round of treatment. Really appreciate you bringing up the hormone replacement therapy angle - that was an eye-opening perspective I hadn't considered before.

Qq - Do you have any perspective on latin ethnicity and sculptra?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@gabriellaquerales3997 Hi Gabriella! Thanks for sharing your story! Yes HRT is very important. Not just for aesthetic reasons but for medical reasons too. Bone, heart, and brain. Ughh yes there are so many more AI generated content. I get sucked into clicking on certain videos and then once I realize it’s AI I usually click off. There is something special about content coming from a human 💕.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@gabriellaquerales3997 Well because Latin is technically not a race, I think it would be dependent on one’s ancestry or racial make up. You can be Latin and be European, Native/Indigenous or African, or more commonly, a mixture of all I only know that East Asian and Sub Saharan Africans do keloid more, so they likely have very active fibroblasts which is why they may respond well to collagen stimulators.

I just turned 59. I have been taking care of my skin (mostly) for most of my life. As a widow (5 years), I can't afford a face lift, but want to do a little something for myself. I am getting Sculptra today in my temple area. I think I will have a good response because just taking collagen peptide supplements for the last two years has made vast improvement in my skin suppleness. I'm excited to see if my face responds as well with Sculptra! Thank you for your in depth videos, they really helped me make the decision to give this a try!

interesting. I am part korean and am also on hrt and i agree 100 on what you said. The nurse at the clinic i go to saud i responded very well with sculptra. I agree that it is a comprehensive multi action approach for best results . I just want to maintain my face as much and as long as possible because to be honest I am afraid to not recognize myself in the mirror. I see my mom who has done nothing and also smokes and drinks......I dont want that. I dont smoke or drink. Use HRT , sunscreen, microneedling, microcurent, vit c , retinal, growth factors, and sculptra is my best weapon. Its an amazing product but I feel it's like anything else in that you still must have a skin care routine that involves protection against further damage as well as a total wellness approach . I also agree with another thing you talked about in another video about maintaining dental health. So important to keep gum tissue and bone because it will resort. I worked in dentistry for several years and it's all true. Love your channel! Thanks for the continued education!

Hello, update on my Sculptra face and neck which I have done aprox two months ago and so far no side effects, nodules or bumbs. I am very pleased with it, I think I start to notice some improvements. My next session is on february, I cant wait. I plan to do a Sculptra manteinance because I personally am afraid of a facelift, no to mention the costs. I dont think I will be doing a facelift in this life. :D

[@NaturalInjector]

@@dianatrif7085 Thank you so much for keeping us updated! Good to hear you have no nodules in the neck. I still think it’s risky to do the neck. I’m with you on the facelift. I’m afraid too, which is why I keep up with my injectables.

[@dianatrif7085]

Good luck, I’ve myself researched a bit and stopped at a doctor which I’ve seen does a lot of Sculptra treatments and is also a trainer in Sculptra, I wanted someone that uses Sculptra often so is very skilled. I wanted to do the neck also because I want to keep the neck in good shape too so you don’t see the signs of aging on the neck compared to the face. I’ve massaged it a lot after the injection and so far so good. Good luck with the HRT too, perimenopause sucks, I want to go on HRT too. :D

[@NaturalInjector]

@ I started on birth control so that I could try and prevent some of the symptoms of peri/menopause. They say you can stay on that until 55. Also Sculptra is very risky in the neck. I tried it and I did develop some scar tissue that was more visible but it was only visible to me when I extended my neck. The skin has thickened since, so it’s a lot less visible, it.s barely there now but it did not address the crepey skin that I still see in certain positions. Gonna try this other biostimulator.

[@NaturalInjector]

@ Yea you can but I don’t think it works as well when you dilute it a lot. The submental area isn’t as thin as the neck skin though so we didn’t dilute it that much

[@dianatrif7085]

What other biostimulator can we try for the neck? Radiesse or similar?

[@Chrystabell]

Based on your channel and other enthusiasts about Sculptra, I got 4 vials spaced out over 3.5 months about a year and a half ago at a highly rated skin clinic in LA. I’m 46. I waited to see any sign of change, took meticulous photos looking for the slightest difference. Nothing. Spent thousands and it’s not an enjoyable experience to have the injections either. I just want to share because man it seemed like it was going to be a sure thing based on what ppl say but it was an absolute waste of my time, money and a total disappointment. I hope others have the success they are hoping for. Not sure why nothing happened for me.

[@sabrinarodrigues629]

Took 3 expensive sculptra injections at 34. The results were very subtle if not imperceptible... but I'm too young for facelift though.

[@annaswiatowska1800]

Were you educated about important of diet, sunscreen and managent of stress and good sleep whilst waiting for the results of sculptra?

[@cecee3480]

How much was it? Facelifts are like $30,000+

[@carolinewhitelaw1068]

I’m sorry you didn’t get the results you wanted, how disappointing. You don’t mention how much volume loss you had to start with? For myself (57 and naturally lean) I had significant volume loss about a year ago when I started and when my injector recommended 3 vials each treatment for a total of 9, I thought she was crazy. I did as recommended and the results at 9 mos past my last treatment have exceeded my expectations. Maybe you didn’t get enough of it at each treatment?

[@annaswiatowska1800]

@carolinewhitelaw1068 did you take any extra supplements, watched diets and managed stress - this was recommended to me to enhance sculptra results

[@wilmothdowe5298]

Am so glad that am not a good candidate for face lift because am not one for going under knife or laser.. from you I have received sculpture and filler . Has been good for me.. Thank you Emily 🎉

[@teresalehtonen8499]

Just came to say NO it does not replace a face lift. Also sculptra produce different type of collagen than normal supple collage is. More like close to scar tissue ( which is collagen) . This may make a face lift surgery more challenging in the future. Also your description of what a face lift is, was something was last time done in the 70`s. A face lift ( deep plane) goes all the way down to the bone and lifts everything. You can NOT lift dropped muscle, fat, and skin layers with ANY filler. I have been a plastic surgery consultant for a plastic surgeon for 15 years. All this info comes from him.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@teresalehtonen8499 Thank for your comment but I’m not sure if you watched the video the whole way through but I did say that you cannot get the same tight, snatched look as you could with a facelift. Also in the beginning of the video I also mentioned that there are different types of facelifts.

[@janenicholson4056]

I just turned 60 and started Sculptra 4 years ago. I recently caught up with some friends from overseas and the first thing they said was that I looked incredible. Then they all asked if I had had a facelift. Even my breast cancer surgeon, who I haven't seen in 3 years asked me who did my facelift because she thought I looked fantastic. I have no intention of ever having an elective surgery like a facelift but have absolutely zero judgement on people who do 🤩

I would rather go for the injections with results without bruising and swelling. Thank You for this video it has given me an option to look my best!

[@normannescio]

I watched your earlier videos, and let go of the idea of getting Sculptra injections because I have thick skin. Would you still recommend Sculptra for women with thick skin to treat sagging of the lower face (marionet lines) and the turkey neck? Or would you recommend Ultherapy instead?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@normannescio Unfortunately it is not possible for me to give you individual advice without seeing you. I do offer virtual consults if that helps

[@meadow_maker]

Hi there! What skin-tightening treatment might you recommend to a friend on Ozempic? She’s lost 50lbs with 10 more to go, and is noticing skin laxity due to the quick weightloss. Will biostimulators like Sculptra be less effective/ inneffective while she is losing weight (and probably muscle)? She’s probably not building much collagen during this process and I don’t want her to waste money. Should she wait until she’s at a stable weight? Another nurse I talked to suggested Sculptra+Sylfirm. I know you’re very busy Ty for your thoughts!

[@catrineinNorway]

I done Sculptra.5 vials over 8 months.Had good results and then i did Sunekos 1200 and WOW it was like a facelift.So happy now! But how often should i do Sculptra.? You look amazing!!!I can see a big difference.Is it the fat inj you are taking.? Hope you can talk more about that

[@NaturalInjector]

@@catrineinNorway I’m so jealous. I would love to try Sunekos! The way this one doctor on KZbin speaks about it, it seems like a real gem! Plus I heard there is virtually no risk of vascular occlusion. We don’t have it here in the US and I don’t think we will anytime soon unfortunately as I reached out to them on IG and they said it’s just so hard to get approval here in the US. Please tell us more about Sunekos. I think there is some difference but not a big difference with the Renuva. I still have more treatments to do. I’ll keep you posted.

[@ScienceNotSurgery]

You are so smart. One thing to note, Sculptra takes time and patience (compared to filler) and it’s worth it😊 I trust your opinion, what dou think of cool sculpting for targeted area of abdomen (pooch) ?

[@kelljA]

Depends on your age... as a late 40-something myself, I'm for a FL, injectables can end up costing the same over the years, at least with a FL you can get a lot fixed at once.. after that then its just about botox and skin texture improving modalities.... I did think sculptra at one point, but once perimeno hits, you realise nothing but surgery will fix what has fallen. So I've chosen a under structure FL, happening in a month, I can't wait.

[@wojteklukasz]

the problem is sculptra can affect negatively your future surgery facelift :/

[@NajlaNouveau]

Hi Emily. I have a question regarding sculptra. I’ve been following you for a while and have done lots of my own research on the matter; however would you be able to use sculptra right under the nose if it tightens skin? If you are injecting it in the sides of the nose for tightness in the nasolabial folds wouldn’t we be able to also use it to give the impression of a lip lift? Not too much since it thickens the skin- thank you

[@NaturalInjector]

@@NajlaNouveau Hi Najla. I do the piriform area which is the base of the nose but it’s kinda hard to explain exactly how under the nose it is via a comment. Not sure if it will give the impression of the lip lift but it’s also important to restore the lost volume that happens from aging to the philtrum area, which can be done with a soft filler

[@NajlaNouveau]

@@NaturalInjector okay so a little touch up in that area might not have as much of a dramatic effect but still could theoretically rejuvenate. I see. Thank you for getting back to me! You’ll be the one I go to see one day when it’s time 💜

i love my result from sculptra from almost 6 months ago! it has kept getting better. I am considering having a little more added. Also, my injector recommended maybe adding some to my neck (submental) for some mild laxity beginning there. How many vials are used to treat this area typically?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@EadsB7002 Thank you so much for sharing! Glad you see good results. Yes it’s important to do the submental area because the skin there loses laxity.
